Jussi Adler-Olsen – Erlösung

Ich hatte Mørcks ersten Fall von Jussi Adler-Olsen bereits im Kurzreview, nun also der dritte Roman des Sonderdezernats Q namens Erlösung. Warum gleich der dritte? Nun, der zweite Roman, Schändung, bot für mich nicht einmal im Ansatz gute Unterhaltung. Eine platte und haarsträubende Erzählung, die sich an Gewalttaten ergötzte und in der Mørck und sein […]

John Saul – Black Lightning

Sometimes blurbs do a fantastic job to a book, even if the real story is rather flat and turn out to be longish but boring. May be it’s the plot of John Saul’s Black Lightning, which has been told many times already. Right after the first chapter I was fairly sure how the book is […]

Endlich mal wieder eine Story, die mich bis zum Schluss gefesselt und an der Nase herumgeführt hat. Ein sehr flüssiger Schreibstil und […]

I actually […]

Steve Berry – The Third Secret

The Third Secret by Steve Berry is a vatican thriller from 2005. It was an interesting read on a fictional missing part of a prophecy involving vatican “employees”. In some aspects a bit too predictable. If you like the genre and are interested in some conspiracy on the church, this is a good choice for […]
