I was recommended this book by my library and I was utterly disappointed by it. I don't know if I had a bad translation but the flow of action wasn't that good and sometimes even confusing.
I found most characters absolutely repulsive and impossible to understand. I don't want to spoil the book so I won't go into details but I found that they all had reprehensible ways of dealing with their families, had extremely bad communication skills and overall made some very questionable decisions over the course of the book.
Spoilers below:
The main investigator is a pregnant woman who barely talks to her partner and when she does it's like it's a huge chore for her. She stays on the case even as she's about to give birth which sounds very unsafe to me. You're chasing a psycho stalker and you're going on the field when you're about to have a baby?
And then the second investigator has to attend an orgy to find someone in relation to the case and he has the stupidity to have sex there when he should be on the job AND that he has a pregnant wife at home? And when she breaks the news that she's pregnant or doesn't want the baby anymore he's just like "oh ok"? That infuriated me, HOW is that a relationship? I can't even.
And then you have the doctor -no doubt the character I hated the most. He makes stupid decision over stupid decision, lies to the police, endangers a blind woman and her daughter, is told NOT to contact anyone while an investigator goes after a lead but NO, he HAS to contact someone. I have no clue why the blind woman still wanted anything to do with him by the end of the movie.
I hated reading this book but forced myself to finish it regardless. Again, I might have gotten a bad translation of the book and maybe I'd have felt more compassion for the characters if I had read the previous books of the serie.
