The well-crafted particulèrement plot of this novel is very reminiscent to genetic thrillers like "The Crimson Rivers" and "The 3rd Twin". It is also interested in the psyche of the narrator, whose desire for children is not as great as that of his wife who suffers ... Besides an interesting look behind the scenes of the House of Lords where Decorum does not seem to have changed since the days of his great-grandfather! It was in any case it hard to let go "Crime ascending" before the last page as the thirst to know the end of the story is great!
