While I admire the author’s plotting skills, I often grew restless with this novel because page after page of narrative results in a slow read, and I’m a fan of dialogue-heavy stories. Dialogue is in short supply here, and without lots of character exchanges, you don’t get to know them as intimately. That said, you do get to know the main character very well. I thought his intense phobia of reptiles was a nice touch. En mycket tråkig roman som man i förstone inte begrep vart den ville komma. Och inte intresserade man sig för det heller, det var bara på vilja man tog sig igenom första halvan. Sedan rann det på, efter hand ville man faktiskt veta hur det skulle gå till slut. - Men slutet blev lika trågigt som början, och aldrig blev man särskilt överraskad. Personporträtten känns inte särskilt trovärdiga, de flesta karaktärerna är väldigt stereotypa. Översättningen var lite underlig också, med uttryck som "Att sa sig före" något och "överantvarda". Känns inte så fräscht. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:From a New York Timesâ??bestselling author: A terrifying psychological thriller that dives deep into the mind of a sexual predator. In a remote corner of London, a woman is walking her dog when a man grabs her from behind. She screams, and her attacker flees, escaping into a nearby house, where he finds another victim. Victor Jenner has a compulsion he does not understandâ??to grab women, to hurt themâ??and he also has a gun. When it goes off, grievously wounding a police officer, it marks the beginning of a long stretch in jail for Victor. Released ten years later, Victor meets the young policeman he shotâ??and falls head over heels for the officer's girlfriend. Back on the street, Victor is torn between the desire to live a better life and the knowledge that he will soon give in to his most evil yearnings.
