On the other hand, things and clues don't happen to fast to lose contact with the story.

Add to this the well known grumpy genius of a policeman as the antagonist, and a page turner how do you call that in an audible edition? Although police thrillers are not my most favorite genre, this one happened to be very entertaining. Jul 28, Hana rated it liked it Shelves: Lucas Rocco might become one of favourite detectives - a no-nonsense man wit sharp instincts and a bit of humor. The story was interesting, on the surface several different threads that are bound together in the end.

Some things are a bit obvious, others are not - I really didn't expect money being the main motivator nor the fact that a father can murder his daughter.

Hardback Editions

Anyway, I am looking forward to reading next book. Nov 29, Martina rated it liked it Shelves: Probably more than a 3 but less than a 4, only because of the ending. I liked Lucas Rocco very much, as well as his fellow police. I liked the setting, especially the sense of place in the marais. I liked the connection to the French fighting in Indochina. The ending, however, seemed like piling on--the rest of the story was intriguing but not, well, I can't say more without spoiling the story, and I do intend to follow up with subsequent Rocco books.

Jun 06, Mary G. What an interesting time and place. The story takes place in France where the reader learns of the impact of the two world wars fought in their country. Lucas Rocco is an intuitive detective working through the maze of politics and corruption.

Can't wait for the next book. Oct 19, Sara rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Mystery and crime lovers.
