The plot:
Superintendent Roy Grace is struggling with a bad history. The death of a woman raped and strangled. Suspicion immediately falls on her husband, who has evidence of his innocence. She spent the night with his young lover. But Roy Grace is not intimidated by the lack of elements that incastrino her husband.
In the meantime, however, also conducts a survey staff. The search for his wife Sandy, who died nine years earlier for no apparent reason.
This book was lent to me by a friend, you probably would not have bought on my own. A little 'because I had not heard of the author, because some I already had too much to read!
A nice thriller, gripping, sometimes with great excitement. The author plays with his readers, through subtle assumptions, and then shamelessly denying, so as to create confusion and lead astray.
The only drawback: a mid-book I had already outlined the profile of the murderer .. is that now I've read too many books of this kind? Surprise ending, but that does not mean you have left a bitter taste for reading the remaining 200 pages that lead to the conclusion almost announced.
