review 1: Loved the whole book. Makes you feel like you are there with her in the cage as the wood cuts away at her body and the rats and mice are fighting her for survival. Very descriptive with the different chapters and how each killing is explained and makes you want to jump out of you...

review 1: This was the very 1st book I won through the "Goodreads First Reads giveaway". Having already read "Alex" I was excited to be able to continue the story of the detective Verhoeven. It was only when I started reading that I realised that "Irene" is actually the 1st novel in this c...

review 1: thriller psicologico assai teso, che trascina subito il lettore in un vortice di eventi- all'inizio abbastanza confusi e oscuri, ma destinati a chiarirsi con il procedere della storia. certo, alcuni passaggi sono abbastanza improbabili e non tutta l'architettura narrativa è credi...

review 1: I really loved LeMaitre’s book Alex and was keen to read this one, even though I am usually wary of reading a hit ‘new’ author’s back catalogue. This was not surprisingly a bit disappointing, although I did want to know more about the detective’s previous life before Alex. I ran ...

review 1: Deze auteur verdient een standbeeld ... het derde boek dat ik van hem gelezen heb en zeker niet het laatste. Dit boek houdt je op het puntje van je stoel ... vanaf de eerste tot de laatste bladzijde. Telkens je denkt dat het verhaal volledig ontrafeld is, komt er een nieuwe wen...
