A review by pekoparty
Three to Kill by Jean-Patrick Manchette

3.0

A quickly-moving read that keeps pace, introduces many obstacles, and doesn't shy away from visceral descriptions of violence. Nothing lasts long, but what does happen are quick gut punches with brief quips of humor. It's almost too unbelievable and believable at the same time. Lots of urgency and tension. I both liked and hated Gerfaut! I also enjoy a story that comes full circle. Manchette does good work with the last few lines of each chapter in propelling the action and tension forward.
