Really gripping book based on a true story. I enjoyed this a lot more than I'd expected to. I'm marking it down half a point for the obsessive detailing of people's appearance and (especially) height. Also,
the author invented the character of Marceline, fine, but this opened up an issue whereby I found it unrealistic that Henri wouldn't have considered it maybe not the best idea to live nextdoor to his awful ex-girlfriend's police boss
