big disappointment after "Fractures"

Reading "Fractures" made me want to discover other novels Franck Thilliez but I was very disappointed by "The House of the Dead". The beginning was nevertheless encouraging and the plot began satisfactorily: two unemployed kill a man by accident and discovered that he was carrying two million euros. The events are linked, they grab this heavenly manna ... before realizing that it was a ransom and that their actions may have condemned a daughter.

But subsequently falls like a soufflé ... The grotesque situations are linked, style is at times downright awkward, unconvincing characters; the loopholes are downright cartoonish, their implausible motivations and very bland resolution, if any. A feeling of dissatisfaction, closing the book, feeling that a good initial idea was tarnished by mistake or inexperience, but that does not stop me from reading anything from Thilliez, which proved to me with "Fractures" he was capable of much better.
