Summertime, All the Cats Are Bored by Philippe Georget
4.0
This was good! A book I started a while back (May 2020) but got side tracked amongst many others. Not a reflection on the book at all. I seriously started it a few days ago and haven't been able to put it down.
A very interesting case following the kidnapping of a Dutch woman in Perpignan, amongst several other related crimes against Dutch women - are they coincidence or related? The book has several strands and a few red herrings to muddy the waters. An interesting antagonist - I sussed it partially through the story. I like the characters although the main characters love life and relationship with his wife did irritate me, but I suppose it shows a human side when antagonists are usually super human in these sorts of books.
I like the setting of Perpignan too, a very beautiful place and vividly described. There is a lot going on in this book and I will look forward to getting around to reading the follow ups to this. This has been a book on my reading list for a few years. Well worth the wait.
