Rate this book
En plein coeur de l'hiver, sur une autoroute verglacée de Slovaquie, un minibus achève de flamber... Six jeunes femmes ont péri dans l'accident. Le commandant Jana Matinova, appelée sur les lieux, reconnaît l'une d'entre elles, devenue prostituée à Bratislava? Mais ce qui paraît une affaire banale est en réalité le point de départ d'une enquête qui va mener Jana dans les méandres terrifiants du trafic d'êtres humains, aux quatre coins de l'Europe ? de Kiev à Strasbourg en passant par Nice et Vienne ? à la recherche d'un tueur impitoyable, lui-même déterminé à retrouver une jeune et belle russe qu'il veut éliminer. "Les jeunes filles et la mort" est le premier volume de la série des investigations du commandant Jana Matinova, qui plonge avec talent des personnages d'une rare humanité dans des enquêtes policières contemporaines à l'atmosphère tourmentée.

I almost DNF’d this book, but I kept reading hoping it would eventually get better. Unfortunately, it never really did. The story is filled with unnecessary filler, making it feel much longer than it needed to be. The constant jumps between the past and the present don’t add much to the plot or the suspense, they mostly slow the pacing down. I kept waiting for a twist that would make everything click, but the story just dragged on.

Overall, this book had an interesting premise, but the execution fell flat for me. It simply couldn’t hold my attention, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a fast-paced thriller with satisfying twists.
