review 1: Na verdade 4.5Adorei! Não conhecia nem o autor nem o livro antes de o ver à minha espera na fnac. Mais uma compra compulsiva bem-sucedida, só tenho pena de não ter trazido também o Eu Mato do mesmo autor.As primeiras setenta páginas demoram um pouco a desenvolver a história, mas nunca em risco de se perder o interesse. O enredo faz-nos querer saber mais e continuar a ler. Personagens verosímeis, fáceis de gostar pela sua humanidade. Um livro simples, muito bem escrito, sem cair na presunção. Recomendo a quem gosta de um bom policial.
review 2: When a body is found in a New York construction site detective Vivien Light is put on the case. The only things found near the body is a photo of two men in army gear and a man holding a cat with three legs. Wh... moreile Vivien with the help of discraced former press reporter Russell Wade investigate the city is rocked by an explosion of a twenty story building. They soon realise that extablishing the identity of the body and those in the photos will help to find who is blowing up the cities buildings and try to prevent futher death and destruction.Vivien while trying to do her job is facing trying personal demons with a sick sister and troubled niece. Russell has his own troubles being seen as failure in his parents eyes. But these two know thay have limited time to stop more deaths and prevent all out panic throughout the city. It is establised that one of the men in the photo found by the body in the construction site is a Vietnam vet who was killed in action. The truth though will be both tragic and will cause a hate that will manifest itself through generations and one that wants to show who is in control.For the most part Giorgio Faletti's second Novel is an entertaining read that kept me reading well into the nights. The questions kept coming like who is the one who is blowing up the buildings? and why? and also the meaning of photos and what is the connection with the soldier who returns home after being disfigured serving in Vietnam? Unfortuently there were a few negatives like the ending wich for me was abit confusing and abit corny with the relationship between Vivien and Russell while the pacing was at times inconsistant. But for the most part this was a good crime read that will keep you thinking to the very end. less
