Weer een geweldig boek van Mo Hayder, mooie karakters en tot de laatste bladzijde spannend. (Behalve als je voorgaande review hebt gelezen) Beetje jammer!!!!!
Nu maar weer wachten op een nieuw boek van deze geweldige schrijfster.

Addictive thriller about several murders and two sisters who have had little or no contact for the past 25+ years. Zoë (36) is a police inspector, Sally (35) a cleaner, when a 16-year old girl is found dead in the ancient English town of Bath. Her killer used lipstick to write a message on her body. Molly, Sally’s daughter knew her from school, but not very well. She and the small posse she is part of are not helpful in police investigations. They hide something, even after one of them is arrested as a suspect.
This novel has many layers. As a police procedural I rate it 3/10: Zoë’s misgivings about the murder investigation are ignored by her colleagues. She thinks they have developed tunnel vision, goes solo and keeps her findings from the team and powers on, without questions or sanctions from above. Inconceivable in real life, but this is only a novel. Zoë discovers linkages to the world of porn production and distribution. Meanwhile, her recently-divorced and heavily-indebted sister Sally is promoted from cleaning lady to housekeeper of the gross mansion of a porno king…
The sisters will soon meet again. As a psychological novel I rate this thriller 7/10. Their recent history is intriguing and for readers to discover. In real life and during this murder investigation, Zoë and Sally often act on the basis of wrong assumptions, make bad choices and take poor decisions.
MH is not the world’s greatest plotter and external advice about the many uses of smart phones saves this book, which has a chilling, surprise ending.

Spannend en soms zelfs griezelig maar zeer goed geschreven
