review 1: Sorry! I didn't like it .toooo many twists. Ok we all know how politicians are. So many pages to prove the fact that although the crime had nothing to do with the elections , the politicians interfered and ruined the investigation to cover "spots on their reputation" . So if it w...

review 1: Na een paar mislukte pogingen om De killing te lezen dit toch maar opgegeven. Ik heb namelijk het eerste seizoen van de tv serie gezien en kon daarom, om een of andere reden, niet in het boek komen. Toen maar beslist om De killing 2 te gaan lezen en dit is wel gelukt. Dit boek i...

review 1: Quite a complex thriller revolving around the Rome police team of Nic Costa, Gianni Peroni, Rosa Prabakaran and Teresa the phorensic scientist. The Blue Demon is associated with the Etruscan s and thought up by political and secret service members in the 1970's to combat the expe...

review 1: 2011: FWFTB: Venice, canal, aunt, dog, masks. If you are expecting Nic Costa to feature in this book - don't. This is all about the pathologist. The plot device of a story, within a tale, within a fable makes for a very languorous and slow moving story at odds with the supposed b...

review 1: I had already worked my way through the Scrivener tutorial about 9 months ago. Then I moved and didn't touch the software for a long time. I read through this book in two sittings. It was a wonderful refresher to allow me to jump right back into the software, but the best part is...

review 1: Thoroughly enjoyed this delicious, long, and exciting story line. I didn't see much of the TV series so the killer ( who was not the same person as TV anyway) still came as a surprise. You've got to be flexible though ; there are so many twists and turns here you have to stay on ...

review 1: I purchased this book because I was a firm fan of the Danish television series written by Soren Sveistrop. When it was shown on BBC4 television it became something of a cult series and has won various awards. So I was already prepared to love the novel written by a very experienc...

review 1: Ich vergebe 4,5 Sterne.Die Fernsehserie kannte ich nicht und hätte nicht gedacht, dass sich eine solche dermaßen gut als Buch verarbeiten lässt. Der Kriminalfall ist sehr komplex, immer wieder ergeben sich neue Verdächtige und dann ist doch wieder nichts so wie es scheint; eine w...

review 1: I have read all Hewson's books in this series to date. My issue is that I LOVE the cast of main characters and love all books centered in Italy. The problem is that David Hewson's plots are so convoluted that over the course of reading the books, I've simply grown weary of plow...

review 1: I wonder what it is in the human character that we are drawn to parallels, to plans, to revelations of hidden congruence and sympathy? Nowhere can it be better manifested than in religion, but number two has got to be The Serial Killer With A Plan. He's alphabetic! He's calend...
