Format:Taschenbuch
Scary thriller about multiple murders in rural England,
Highly addictive thriller about first one, then several murders, then a psychological portrait of two sisters who have had little or no contact for the past 25+ years. Zoë (36) is a police inspector, Sally (35) a cleaner, when a 16-year old girl is found murdered in the ancient English town of Bath. Her killer used lipstick to write a message on her body. Molly, Sally's daughter knew her from school. But she and her friends are not helpful during police investigations. They hide something, even after one of them is arrested as a suspect...
This novel has many layers, e.g. about parenting a teenager when divorced and poor, or about trusting new partners. As a police procedural this reader rates it 3 or 4/10. When Zoë's misgivings about the first murder investigation are ignored by her colleagues, she concludes the team has developed tunnel vision. She goes solo, keeps her findings to herself, powers on and discovers linkages to the world of porn production and distribution.
Meanwhile, her divorced and heavily-indebted sister Sally is promoted from cleaner to housekeeper of the grossly-designed and -decorated mansion of David Goldrab, a king of porn, who made his initial fortune in Kosovo. He is the reason for the sisters to meet again...
As a psychological novel this thriller rates 7 or 8/10. The sisters' life histories are very intriguing indeed. But during the investigations, both Zoë and Sally often act on the basis of false assumptions, make poor decisions and bad choices. What makes this a thriller are the risky break-ins and privacy invasions by the sisters, performed quite independently, and Mo Hayder's awesome powers of descriptions of moods and fears.
This reader is currently engrossed and over halfway into "Tokyo", MH's third book, which is an absolutely stunning novel, confirming MH's energy and ability to fuse facts, dreams and ideas into stories with impact.
This, her eighth novel is a thriller that twists and turns to a chilling, surprise ending.

I was disappointed in this book. I expected a tightly contructed story with a lot of punch. For me the story was
over-laiden with too many sub-plots which obscured the original
crime. I also had trouble with the characters. Too sketchy,
and not really believeable. The two sisters, living in a what
was described as community where most people knew or knew of
eachother, didn't know what the other was doing. And that
for about a decade or more ! Hard to fathom. Zoe, the woman
who has worked on the police force for around 18 years (I think), acts like a wild card. Her sister Sally, a quiet, unassertive woman suddenly is capable of horrific acts and amazing deviousness. Somehow didn't ring true. Minor characters are simply 'there'- a few sentences and we are to
accept them as drawn. The best part of the book is the ending.
Something was up, but it came as a total surprise. Terrific.
Very chilling conclusion. This brought it up to 3 stars.

Gerne werden andere Autoren nach ihrer Meinung befragt. Ich meine es war Harlan Coben der gesagt hat : "Disturbing".
Alright, dies ist in der Tat in einem Wort die treffende Bezeichnung für dieses Werk. Man muss selbst in der sogenannten Weltliteratur lange suchen, bis man ein Buch findet, in dem menschliche Abgründe derart nervenaufreibend und fesselnd beschrieben werden. Dazu sympathische Charaktere und eine verzwickte Geschichte.
Das möchte man weiter und weiter lesen. Leider haben es Bücher so an sich, dass sie irgendwann zu Ende sind (dieses Buch allerdings nicht wirklich). Aber Mo Hayder wird sicherlich irgendwann mal wieder ein tolles Buch schreiben. Bei ihr dauert es halt leider ein bisschen länger als bei anderen.
