Jackie Kaminsky #2

Enquête sous tension

Rate this book
Etrange effraction que celle constatée par l'inspecteur Jackie Kaminski dans la maison de Maribel Lewis. Une sinistre farce censée affoler la victime avec un attirail satanique des plus grossiers -pentacle, bougies noires, clichés obscènes- et des lettres anonymes lourdes de menaces. Bientôt, les missives malveillantes s'étendant aux proches de Maribel, Jackie se voit contrainte d'élargir son enquête à ces derniers, tous dotés d'une personnalité déroutante, insaisissable, presque sombre. C'est alors que le sinistre coup de théâtre se produit: Maribel Lewis et son fils sont assassinés avec une sauvagerie inouïe. Et si tous les proches des victimes ont potentiellement le profil du tueur, chacun d'eux peut être aussi le prochain nom sur la liste de l'assassin. Pour Jackie, c'est désormais une course contre la montre. Une enquête sous tension, d'autant plus délicate que l'homme de sa vie la presse de tout arrêter. D'autant plus risquée, aussi, qu'elle ne tarde pas à recevoir à son tour un message de l'assassin, la désignant comme possible victime...Peut-être la prochaine.

Jackie's first homicide case. An extremely dysfunctional family. It made it hard to get a bead on which one was the culprit. There was even bad blood between them and the neighbors
A few logistical questions: how does Paul have enough money to fix up the farm and but animals if he isn't working at a paying job? Where was Stanley's car?
I had a bead on the wrong culprit, so, well done.
I would recommend this book.

Trop de détails !! On devine à la moitié du livre l'identité de l'assassin. Aucune intrigue

I enjoyed this. A gentle thriller which made you care about the characters. I think the killer was fairly easy to guess but nevertheless it was crafted quite well and came to a satisfying conclusion.
