review 1: The most pointless, cliched, feebly-plotted murder mystery ever. Beautiful young girls brutally raped and strangled? Give me a break! The story unwinds at a snail's pace and after pointing the finger at the leader of the sect to which the girls belonged, of course our author pluc...

review 1: Wenn man das Buch liest und einen typischen Krimi erwartet, wird man enttäuscht sein. Die erste Hälfte des Buchs besteht aus einer Charakterisierung der beiden Hauptpersonen, handlungsmäßig tut sich nicht allzu viel, bis nach über 200 Seiten der Kommissar und seine Kollegen ins S...
