A breathless suspense but a moderately imaginative script and commercial ingredients slightly too conspicuous

Comment for potential readers, a detective story or thriller whose main intrigue lies in the interest is not always easy because we must unveil quun minimum, at least not more than quen said the editor.

Let's start with the easiest:
He comes of a good thriller? Yes, undoubtedly, one is held in suspense from beginning to end. In this regard jattribue 5 stars ("this is perfect") in this novel.
Is it well written and well built? Again I can answer yes. Dailleurs This is thanks to these qualities that the suspense keeps us constantly going.

But here it comes dun author has received numerous awards including one expects more than his ability to captivate us. On this point, without being really disappointed, I mattendais better:

First the subject does not seem of great originality: a retired policeman stalking, without a warrant, a psychopathic killer who challenges him. It resembles the recurring theme of Hollywood Lone Ranger.

Secondly the veracity of some characters (not all) seems doubtful because dune too schematic psychology. Thus, towards the end of the novel, the "vigilante" gets help from two assistants with capabilities making them look more like Tintin Quà real characters.

Thirdly author has integrated an ingredient (but which, nevertheless, sinsere skillfully into the story) that seems essential to properly sell a book: a story of love and sex.

Fourth na author could help but to use clichés: the "old" are overwhelmed by linformatique while the "young" (the Tintins) are very skilled in this art. While this may correspond to a reality, but what bothers me here it's a description on Hergé.

In conclusion jattribue 2.5 stars (out of 5) to the literary quality. The average would be a little less than 4, but jarrondis 4 because the quality of suspense seems to me the most important criterion for this type of novel.
