With "The CAINE EYE" his first novel, it foresaw the birth of a great French writer of thrillers (also awarded the 2008 Award of PAPERBACK readers and the price of the first novel CARREFOUR). With his second novel "MONSTER" Patrick BAUWEN confirms this feeling. That's a great thriller that does not let her the first player to the 574th page. The hero, a character like you or me, is caught in a vicious circle of traps, twists, disappearances and murders that lead us, involuntarily and inexorably to put ourselves in his place, thinking that it could happen to us. Parents with young children will feel more involved! It is impossible to say more! The feat of the author, who maintains this permanent tension, is that EVERYTHING seems real: the scene, the characters, the events described were visited, known and lived! How could it be otherwise? On your turn, you be the judge. But contrary to what we used to say about thrillers "do not tell the end," here is from the beginning that we should tell anything because each chapter brings fantastic revelations. Good feverish reading!
