YES! Everything I needed in a horror/crime book. It’s a psychologically thought out story, anything from the perspective of a killer will never fail to dissapoint.

Ey, ist halt einfach ein echt abgefucktes Buch, komplett over the top, aber halt auch einfach mega gut zu lesen.
Ich habe mich oftmals nicht mal bei diesen super genauen Duftbeschreibungen gelangweilt (manchmal aber schon, daher die Bewertung).
Auf jeden Fall ein Erlebnis das gelesen zu haben.

Unique? Yes. Disturbing? A resounding yes. Would I recommend it? Not really. I have fairly eclectic tastes in literature and this novel was unnecessarily disgusting. I don't care for gratuitous violence and this exemplified it.

Recommended to me prior to a trip to Germany because the author is German however it takes place in France, from slums to a perfume shop, to a cave, then a village. If you're looking for a book by a German author that has a setting in Germany, keep looking. It you prefer books with some sort of redemption, keep looking.

So why any stars? I guess it is well written.
