tramuntana's review against another edition

2.0

 Die Stärke dieses Buches ist auch gleichzeitig seine Schwäche: Es ist vollkommen unspektakulär geschrieben, was zwar wohl nah an der Realität des Detektivberufs, aber mitunter zäh zu lesen ist. Die Auflösung des Falls erschließt sich dem/r Lesenden zwar, aber da muss schon tief im Plotgedächtnis gegraben werden. Etwa 200 Seiten weniger und dafür etwas mehr Charakterentwicklung (wobei dies auch daran liegen kann, dass ich nur dieses Buch aus der Serie gelesen habe) hätten dem Roman gut getan.
