A thriller taking but not fully realized

The bites of the shadow (Paperback)

Customer Review

How long the hero could he survive the torture, physical and mental, inflicted by his jailer? This is the question that arises frantically turning pages, as you feel taken hostage with him!

The majority of this story thus takes place in a closed session, set up by Lydia, the woman sexy and flamboyant, cruel and Machiavellian, but also fragile and tormented by a dark past. This closed-door is very effective for storytelling: highly oppressive and scary in a dark atmosphere, wet and pallid.

However, if I may, I found writing Karine Giebel almost as cold as the cellar. Some argue that this style helps to give rhythm to the novel. I've just found a bit too flat and dull. But I'm not a fan of "synthetic" style ... matter of taste :)

In short, let us return to the plot, it's still more interesting than talking about syntax and grammar! As in any thriller worthy of the name, the reader can not help but make a list of suspects, between the lines to find cleverly scattered clues' scaffolded but all theories are of course far from the truth, which is discovered in the last pages.

As for the end, I found it pretty amazing compared to all other thrillers I've read. Some love it, others not 'me, I rather enjoyed these last lines! What made me somewhat displeased, it's not the outcome in the strict sense, but that's no end to all the other stories about minor characters. Yes, we know what it is-Benoit duo of Lydia, but and everything else? And the others? Karine Giebel launched many distant slopes and intrigue to keep us in the solution, but it forgets to close the 'So I stayed on my hunger by turning the last page of this novel. But I did read in one go today!

So in general, it's a very addictive thriller paced, but the plot a bit without fulfillment.
