rosali's review against another edition
2.0
Leider wurde ich mit der Hauptfigur bis zum Schluss nicht warm. Überhaupt hatte ich Mühe in die Geschichte hinein zu kommen, bis die Handlung Fahrt aufgenommen hatte, brauchte ich viel Geduld. Dass der Detective Nick Belsey selber die Gesetze nicht so genau nimmt, machte ihn für mich unsympathisch. Im Verlauf konnte ich seine ermittlerischen Fähigkeiten anerkennen. Aber es machte es für mich nicht wett, dass er selber vom rechten Weg abgekommen ist. Er war aber auch nicht Bösewicht genug, um mich für sich zu gewinnen. Sorry

interessante stellen, die ersten 90 seiten hab ich mich gelangweilt, zu viele charaktere und ich hab den überblick irgendwann verloren. fand die hauptperson nicht schlecht; aber wollte am ende noch was über charlotte. in der mitte wurde es interessant

I'm not sure how I feel about this book: it's an interesting police procedural with some very unusual twists. However, it seems that the cops are, at best, incompetent, and at worst, alarmingly corrupt; and the main protagonist, while being a brilliant detective, is cynical and a glaring example of the entrenched police dishonesty. So, although well-written, this is not my favourite read.

2.75/5 Stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I kept reading because it wasn't bad enough to stop, but I never really got into it.

This was a tough book to put down. I really enjoyed it though it did dive a little deeply into the world of financial crime, which was hard to follow at times. The end came quickly and I had to reread the plot twist a few times to really grasp it, but overall I enjoyed the book.

This didn't quite go in the direction I was expecting, yet I enjoyed it nonetheless. Harris has created an antihero who feels unique in a world of antiheroes. Fast paced and well written.

Suspenseful to the point of discomfort. God, I just wanted the main character to get some sleep. Spoiler alert...doesn't happen. A very tightly wound and expertly told mystery.
