Anyone read Alex by Pierre LeMaitre?

[MrsDavidBowie]

Just started it yesterday...it's a French thriller, woman gets kidnapped and held captive.
I sense it will be quite disturbing.

ah now I think I started it, why didnt I carry on?

It has the very short detective whose wife was kidnapped and died previously.....

yes - i read a fair old bit of it - maybe just the sample on the kindle and i had no wifi?

Oh there is a huge twist...... i am half way through now.

Finished it.

It is very, very clever.

Disturbing, but very good. I can honestly say I have never read anything quite like it.

Yes! Am reading and loving it.

So fast paced, very brutal and much more graphic than I usually read/like.

Looking forward to and can't imagine the twists ahead.

Already looking forward to LeMaitre's next book.

Let me know what you think about it!

Will do

JUST finished this. Interesting storyline, pretty gory in parts, but it has very good twists and turns which were clear (I know I have sometimes got a bit lost with copious plot threads in other thrillers). It features 3 detectives and there is a real sense that the author is laying the foundations for a series of crime novels revolving around these three very different individuals with terrific French flair. Justice is meted out at the end. Do not read if you have an aversion to rats, is all I would say, without giving anything away about the plot!
