"Something about this one just left me flat and cold. The main character seems Too Stupid To Live throughout most of the book. A lot of graphic violence against women. The whole novel just seemed uneven and completely unrealistic to me. I will try the next one, but I am not a big fan of these types of thrillers."

"This was an amazing storyline and was a complete thriller all the way until the end!! Nice that the author knows Montréal really well and it shows in the story with the various neighborhoods and their essence showing. Also quite detailed was the medical information regarding how investigators use the remains to tell the brutal stories of how the people passed and the age and gender of the victims.<br/><br/>I’m definitely reading the next book in the series and I know I have found my next favourite new author!!"
