I read Dicker's The Enigma of Room 622 and loved it. The writing was great and at that moment I became a Dicker fanboy, resolving to read everything he had written.
That was my first problem.
I honestly don't think my resolve to read everything a writer has written has ever gone well. Maybe Maeve Binchy.
I started with this book, Dicker's most famous, the one they made into a movie.
Here's the problem: the story is a love affair between a 15 year old girl and a 34 year old man. And I could never get over it. No matter what happened, how well it was written, it was never going to be okay for me.
This took me a long time to read. The first half, over 300 pages, was the "love" story. I read it cause it's Dicker, but I didn't want to.
The second half is better.
I note this book has a different translator than Enigma. I didn't like the translation as much. The writing is still strong, keeping this from a one star review, but just.

J'ai plus tôt bien aimé l'histoire, l'intrigue et son dénouement mais j'ai aussi trouver la lecture un peu lourde de par les répétitions auxquels on est confronté afin de révéler petit a petit les détails de toute l'affaire ou passé et présent de mêle et où chacun y va de ses supposition

Not all men, but somehow always a man.

c'était tout à fait excellent (même si j'ai trouvé qu'il y avait quelques petites longueurs mais c'est pour chipoter) je recommande à toutes les personnes qui ne l'ont pas lu et veulent se lancer dans la lecture d'un policier. bravo joël pour le travail
