Brother Grimm by Craig Russell
5.0
I most definitely recommend everyone to read this book.
Jan Fabel is the protagonist of the book, a murder detective of the Hamburg Police whose latest case is a serial killer who themes his murders on the Grimm fairy tales.
I originally came across this book on GoodReads when I was looking for books that were themed around fairy-tales So when I found this I was delighted. But not as much as I was as when I began reading it. (I should note that I have since discovered that this is the second part in a series, however not having read the previous instalment did not in anyway detract from the experience and pleasure of reading BG)
Russell is a divine storyteller, his characterisations of all characters, whether they were minor or central were beautiful. The plot lines are breathtaking and I don't think I've read a book quite like it.
Completely deserving of 5 stars and I shall be giving it to everyone I know to read!
