Rezension von Melanie3,75-4
Rezension von Sadiwriting: 3.5/5 | plot: 3/5 The writing was ok, but the characters were all underdeveloped. A lot was told, not shown. The "twist" was a bit underwhelming and predictable, but I liked the overall idea of the book. And I agree with other reviews of how the main character, a psychiatrist, was commonly described more as a psychologist... this was a bit of a pity.
Rezension von LeoRechtsanwalt Robert Kavin ist fest entschlossen, das Undrnkbare zu tun: Er wird den Serienkiller verteidigen, der nicht nur Kavin’s eigenen Sohn, sondern auch fünf weitere Jugendliche über Wochen gequält, verstümmelt und getötet hat. Doch um diesen Fall zu übernehmen, braucht er die Hilfe einer Expertin – einer Psychiaterin, die sich auf Menschen mit Gewalt- und Tötungsfantasien spezialisiert hat. Was als professionelle Zusammenarbeit beginnt, wird schnell zu einem gefährlichen Spiel. Denn je tiefer sie in die Abgründe der Verbrechen eintauchen, desto mehr dunkle Geheimnisse kommen ans Licht – Geheimnisse, die vielleicht besser verborgen geblieben wären … Torre schafft es, jedem Charakter nicht nur Tiefe und zahlreiche Facetten einzuhauchen. Plotting & Twists sind on POINT. Der Spannungsbogen wird bis zuletzt aufrecht erhalten. Häppchenweise bekommen wir Puzzle-Stückchen zugeschoben, die die Spannung immer wieder nähren und erneut antreiben. Der erste Big Plot crossed my mind im Laufe des zweiten Drittels - aber dazwischen hatte ich so viele weitere Theorien, dass das Ende dennoch zufriedenstellend und überraschend war. Rund um ein wirklich gelungener Psycho-Thriller.
