This novel specious advantage of a very original: Police intrigue is not experienced from the perspective of lawyers (gendarmes and police), but by the family of the victims and their families. Often this aspect is totally hidden police adventures. This novel restores balance and demonstrates that there is no that the victim and his inner circle who are affected by crime; but the collateral damage are many and varied: families, couples, friends, relations, neighbors or even an entire village. Suspicion, suspicion, fear, mistrust festers life where their deadly strikes.
The inspiration of the novel based on real facts is barely veiled: one can only think of Criminal Investigation for show's televised or Laffaire the small Grégory for basic lenveniment intrigue and relations of the family of the victim. And if the Commissioner for the investigation sappelle Bouvard, this is definitely a nod to his arrival at RTL radio in which officiates author and true "Big Head".
The only negative would be the literary style that lacks some fluidity, making it impossible to enjoy the story, the reader narrivant not to bring his reading pace near the pace of history.
In short, a very good novel, dense (it only some 320 pages) and dune great efficiency.
