Reviews

[Antoni Savander · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nämä Wallacen salapoliisi- ja murhamysteerit ovat mainiota luettavaa. Rikos on useimmiten hyvin yksinkertainen, syyllinen on alusta lähtien likimain selvillä, mutta sankarien pitää todistaa se ensin.

Mukana on usein myös nuorten ihmisten orastava rakkaustarina. Pollarit ovat joko fiksuja ja ymmärtäviä tai sitten täysiä älykääpiöitä ja virkaintoisia sählääjiä.

Tässä tarinassa juoni oli selkeämpi kuin Punaisessa ympyrässä.

Solider Wallace-Roman. Nicht mehr oder weniger. Auf gut deutsch: nette Urlaubslektüre.

[Kathy · Rating 3 out of 5]

As is typical with Wallace, this book includes a death, a love-affair, a kidnapping, an intrepid amateur. Fun.
