This French thriller, very effective, has several advantages:
- An original story, always surprising, violent enough anyway (it is better to prevent sensitive souls), with 3 distinct parts, and a lot of twists and turns, some rather unexpected
- An end that does not disappoint !!!
- An atypical style: very direct, realistic, accurate, and ultimately quite far from the usual clichés and stylistic facilities thrillers
- The characters pretty well outlined: the cop in the back, his colleagues (the son of a good family, and especially stingy sickly pretty amazing), and Alex, resourceful young woman, smart and off-axis.
There, that is as good bread, ideal for insomniacs and night vigils baby, or as holiday reading.
