review 1: This is one of the most satisfying mysteries I've read in a long time. I read it in one day, staying up until midnight to finish it. The character development is a little wanting, but the plot and pacing are well done, and it kept my interest until the end. This is the second novel by this author. I have not read the first (although I plan to), but nevertheless I did not feel lost by reading this second book first. I enjoyed the settings - Paris and the French countryside - and felt the book made good on its promises at the end.
review 2: So I only picked this up because the setting is Paris and some of the action takes place in Pere Lachaise cemetery. The book is rather gruesome but the plot intriguing and the relationships between the investigators were compe... morelling. I realized what the mystery was early on but thought it can't be that simple...but it was. I think the writer relies on the bizarre nature of the crimes to propell the book but I like my mysteries with intricate plots. Worth a quick read though. less
