Copier n'est pas jouer
Lorsque Nico Sirsky, chef de la brigade criminelle du 36 quai des Orfèvres, est chargé de l’enquête sur le corps congelé d’une fillette retrouvé dans un square parisien, il sait qu’il ne s’agira pas d’une enquête ordinaire.
Quand d’autres cadavres apparaissent, et qu’il s’avère que ces meurtres sont les copies conformes d’homicides commis par de célèbres tueurs en série, il comprend qu’il lui faut aller vite pour arrêter un tueur extrêmement organisé et dangereux, qui le provoque en semant des indices sur les scènes de ses crimes.
Et si tous ces meurtres étaient le résultat d’un jeu de rôle grandeur nature… qui est alors le maître du jeu ?

I liked Looking to the Woods by Frederique Molay. I liked it very much.
#4 in the Paris Homicide series, it did not matter that I had not read any of the preceding books. I liked this one enough to want to go back and read the earlier volumes.
This is a very atmospheric book. I found myself reading with a French accent and substituting what few words I remember from my schoolgirl French lessons into the text. I was visualising Nico played by Daniel Auteuil.
There is a nice blend of police procedure and the main characters personal lives. There are plenty of twists and turns, and although I found the denouement quite unbelievable, I did not care. It was one hell of an enjoyable ride getting there!

This is a complex murder mystery which opens with a horrific murder of a child. This is book 4 in the series and I have read and enjoyed the previous three books in the series. The head of the elite Paris Criminal Investigation Division, Nico Sirsky, is called to the scene. He works with his team to solve a series of murders, all of which are dismembered bodies. I was not sure who the killer was until near the end. If you prefer cozy mysteries, this book is not for you. However if you read James Patterson, you will probably like this book. I recommend that you read them in order if possible.
Unlike Patterson, which concentrates on a main character solving the crimes, these murders are solved by a team of police officers methodically looking for clues: fingerprints, DNA, fiber analysis, witness interviews, etc. Also unlike Patterson, this book is by a single author and is not as formulaic. The translation is excellent.
One quote: "The scene of those broken parents identifying Juliette's remains would be seared in Nico's mind forever, joining the cohort of images that he always carried around."
I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I received a copy of Looking to the Woods in exchange for a review. Thank you to Netgalley and AmazonCrossing for opportunity to read this e-ARC.
British mysteries ignited my love of police procedurals and, while I still read as many as of those as I can, I’ve been moving to crime fiction set in other countries. When I saw a French police procedural listed on Netgalley, I eagerly grabbed a copy. For the most part, I was not disappointed.
Looking to the Woods is a fast-paced, rather gruesome crime novel set in Paris. It is the fourth book in the Paris Homicide series by Frédérique Molay but the first that I’ve read. Within twenty-four hours, the bodies of two children are discovered, both horribly murdered - one mutilated, the other dismembered. A desperate search for the killer (or killers) begins. The investigation is lead by Chief Nico Sirsky and he is assisted by his team of homicide detectives. Enter my first issue with the book. Nico Sirsky is the main character and, while we get quite a bit of his emotions and his family life, I had a difficult time fully picturing him. With this being the fourth book in this series, he may have been described in depth before now but here he is given little description. The same goes for the rest of the very large cast of characters. My second issue: I had a difficult time differentiating between the supporting characters. There is so little detail provided, just one or two character quirks, not much more, that I really had no idea who was who at times. If you prefer a story driven more by plot than by character, this probably will not be an issue for you. I prefer fleshed-out characters and a strong plot. Also, with such a large cast of characters, it would have been nice to have a character list included.
The story unfolds quickly and you can feel the sense of urgency as more bodies are discovered. Using everything at their disposal, the detectives race against the clock to find out who is behind these murders. There is some drama at home for Nico. His girlfriend, Caroline, has become distant. Nico, who is crazy about Caroline, worries that she is about to break things off with him but he does not allow his trouble at home to interfere with his work. Nico cannot understand what has made Caroline so distant even though it’s pretty clear to the reader. That said, I do feel her behavior to be a bit overly dramatic and I really could have done without this sidebar.
I had a hard time reading about the horrific murders of the children but I did enjoy the investigation and the look into how the French police work. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of Paris, always a pleasure for me. I really had no idea where this one was going and was surprised by the resolution. I would read another in this series because Looking to the Woods is an excellent mystery and Nico is a good character. I would just like more character descriptions and more of the supporting characters to be brought to the forefront to give more complexity to the overall story.

I would like to thank Netgalley and AmazonCrossing for an advance copy of Looking To The Woods, the fourth novel in the Paris Homicide series of police procedurals.
Chief Nico Sirsky is called to the scene of a grisly crime where a child has been mutilated. The next day a teenager is found hacked to death in a classroom. When a third victim is found the police realise they are the work of one serial killer imitating well known serial killers from the past and the hunt is on.
I enjoyed Looking To The Woods (I have no idea what the title refers to) as it is the straightforward hunt for a killer with a neat twist at the end. It doesn't require much thinking as the author isn't interested in social commentary or deep psychological insights. It is entertainment and she does it well with plenty of well paced action to keep you turning the pages and pleasant, dedicated characters. You can feel the stress and tension as the team battle to find the perpetrator.
It is very much the Nico Sirsky show. As the Chief of homicide he is in the thick of the investigation and the novel is told from his point of view. He is the only character to be developed in any meaningful way from his thoughts on the investigation to his worries about his girlfriend's unusual behaviour. I don't think this detracts from the novel as it is plot driven and examination of the host of lesser characters would interrupt the narrative flow.
The one thing I did find strange in a modern crime novel was their failure to mention, never mind examine, CCTV footage which seems a staple of modern crime investigation.
This minor quibble aside I have no hesitation in recommending Looking To The Woods as a good read.

What a pleasure these Paris Homicide books are. The translations are so perfect that you wouldn’t realize you were reading a translation if you didn’t already know it. Anne Trager and her team at Le French Book are to be commended and encouraged to keep them coming. It is wonderful to be able to read these excellent books even if you cannot speak or read French. Most readers of this genre are familiar with the British and American, and these days, even the Australian or Canadian justice systems. But the French system is different, which is part of its charm.
The Paris Homicide books are French police procedurals. Nico Sirsky is the chief of the detective bureau, based in the Palais de Justice. He reports, not just to his own police superiors, but to the examining magistrate who is ultimately in charge of the case. So interesting.
In Looking to the Woods there are a number of murders which seem to be interconnected, making this a serial murder case. Far too often in books about serial murderers we get too much of the gloating of the murderer and not enough of the police procedural. Fortunately for us, that is not what happens in this book. The emphasis is on the police, mostly about the case, but a little bit about the private lives of the police officers. I hesitate to say much more about the plot as I hate spoilers, and I don’t want to give anything away.
This is the fourth of the Paris Homicide books, and it is just as good as the others which I have read. If you want a really entertaining and interesting read, this is the book for you.
I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley for my honest opinion

Police Chief Nico Sirsky and his team are on the hunt for a serial killer, whose crimes are so brutal, I had a hard time reading the crime scene particulars. As the deaths pile up, Nico is also facing problems in his private life. This was my first book by Ms. Molay and I can honestly say I won't read the others in the series.
The brutality was hard to take, especially when it involved children. The characters were not well fleshed out, in my opinion, and after a while I couldn't figure out who was who. I didn't take to Nico at all, and as the main protagonist, it was important to me to like him.
On the other hand, the procedural parts of the book were very interesting and the mental travels through the city of Paris very enjoyable. The factoids about the different serial killers the perpetrator (s) was emulating were quite chilling and morbidly fascinating.
The serial killer theme in books is one I will avoid for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Netgalley and AmazonCrossing for the eARC.

A serial killer is on the loose in Paris, gruesomely murdering a number of persons with no obvious connection to each other. Nico Sirsky and his team are locked in a race for time to prevent more killings and identify the killer based on divergent clues found at the scenes. A very interesting addition to the serial killer genre and French noir. I highly recommend this series.

Non stop action
All four books are well worth reading. This was the fourth in the series. Can be read alone but reading all the books helps to develop the characters and brings a deeper level of understanding the characters. The mystery is complex and will keep you interested until the end. I stayed up until 5am to finish. Hope you enjoy as much as I have.

A missing young girl’s body is found. Nico and his sidekick, Vidal, are on the scene. At the autopsy, it is discovered that she has been horribly mutilated. Even the pathologist, Vilars, is having a hard time with the situation.
Almost immediately, a child is killed at a school. Then another person is murdered. It just keeps happening apace. The murders become linked. Paris has a serial killer on the loose.
The murders are different in certain aspects, but similar in others. Similar in the way they mimic famous serial killers of the past.
Nico and his team scour for clues, frustrated and tired. No DNA, no hairs, no clues to follow at all. They keep running from scene to scene without learning anything at all. Finally, small clues become evident. A children’s poem, a thread, and other items are found. A possible witness – or is he the murder?
As the killings continue, the tension increases dramatically. At the same time, something is bothering Nico’s girlfriend, Caroline. Unsure what is going on with her, Nico worries incessantly about their relationship.
The ending of this book is exciting and explosive. Everything begins to happen at once. It’s a thrill ride.
I very much look forward to the next Frederique Molay book!

I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley/AmazonCrossing!
This series has grown on me. At first, Nico Sirsky seemed too perfect to be likable but, with time and more cases, I've come to appreciate his doggedness. He is now confronted with the most diverse and horrific collection of crimes a person can solve. It starts with a little girl (which has become harder to read now that my sister has kids). But the rest of the victims are so different that it's hard to see the connection. Nico soon figures it out though, and he has to work against the clock to try to stop the murders before another one bites the dust. Now that I know more about Nico's personal life, I was more invested with his interactions with his girlfriend and family, and I can see how Nico would be worried about their welfare. The rest of the team is sharp as usual. The one thing I didn't like was the resolution to the murders. It's very similar to one of my favorite books ever (no spoilers) and I figured out what was going on before Nico did. Maybe if, instead of working for the police he read mysteries, he'd be better at figuring out whodunit. Still, solid, entertaining and addictive.

[I freely volunteered to review this book]
"Childhood traumas had a way of never healing."
The story of a series if horrendous murders that keep everyone on edge and have you wondering just how perverse the lives of the participants are.
This book is gruesome in places, which is one reason it took so long for me to read it. A crime thriller that comes close to what we often read in the headlines, Molay has written a taut, well researched look at the underside of abuse and the perverse response to it. And, she also has a thread of hope, that through all the merde of life, light can shine on the good that sits there, just waiting.

December 14, 2016The 4th novel in the Nico Sirsky Paris Homicide series is a very good read. This book focuses more on police work and investigative processes and less on the chief's personal life, although it does come into play as well (and sets up for the next book in the series).
The killer is a copycat, and I *enjoyed* learning more about European serial killers I had not heard or read about. The conclusion is unexpected and rewarding for this reader. Highly recommended.

As a fan of Molay's three previous police procedurals, I preordered this novel months ago. As with her previous work, this edition is heavy with graphic details of multiple crime scenes. The continuing cast of characters gets filled out, and the ancillary - criminals - have adequate details. Not wanting to spoil the mystery, I will strongly recommend this as well as the full series. I hope another is in process!

How I do enjoy novels when there is a serial killer on the loose! A very fast paced book that kept you turning the pages. I haven't read the previous books in this series, but that didn't matter. I felt that this was one of those books that could be read as a stand alone. I am now eager to read more novels by this author.
My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers. This was my honest review.

good but complicated to follow novel
As usual, the author is well versed in the French criminal and judicial system. This novel is more complicated than her previous novels in the series. Hard to follow at times. Worth a read anyway. I wish at times to see the author to dispense of some side repartees that don’t add much to the narrative, although they add some humor.

Brutal murders scarring the French landscape.
Chief of Police; Nico Sirsky is called to the site where the mutilated body of a young girl is found.
This is the first in a series of brutal murders, all replicating well-known serial killers. Nico and his team are faced with one of the most violent cases and it’s going to take all the resources of this crack Paris Homicide Team to find the perpetrator. The question that the team needs to answer: How many people are involved in committing these barbaric acts?
This is my second Frédérique Molay book featuring Nico Sirsky and his formidable team of detectives and their painstaking work to catch their suspects. I was struck in the first book by the detailed attention Frédérique Molay gives to her characters and to the intricate details making the cases more realistic. This book is possibly even more detailed and the information given on past serial murderers is meticulous, making reading the book even more exciting.
Nico Sirsky is not the run of the mill homicide detectives who have no life outside of their work. He is a family man with a beautiful partner and son and he spends every moment possible with them. His team are made up of equally vibrant and “real” characters and reading this second book cemented my connection to them as “friends”.
Obviously, the protagonists of the storyline are important, but Frédérique Molay manages to weave a web of the Paris landscape into the novel, making me more determined than ever to visit the city and attempt to see the place through French eyes.
My review would be sadly lacking if I didn’t acknowledge one of the most important aspects of the book: The exceptional translating skills of Anne Trager. We often overlook the talents that translators need to bring translate a story into English. It’s not a case of sitting down and simply translating (like we did at school) but the total commitment to ensure that the translation is so perfect that the reader doesn’t feel like they’ve been short-changed by not reading the book in its original format.
Frédérique Molay I’m looking forward to your next book and to Anne Trager’s skills in the translation.

Looking to the Woods is an excellent book. Following Police Chief Nico Sirsky and his teams on their hunt throughout Paris for a serial killer often left me on the edge of my seat, while the ending certainly took me by surprise. Although this book is the fourth in Frederique Molay's Paris Homicide series, it can definitely stand alone, and I did not feel like I was missing out on anything. However, it has whet my appetite to read the first three books in the series and spend more time with Molay's wonderful descriptions of Paris, Chief Sirsky, his family and his police team, and, of course, a mystery.
I would definitely recommend this book ~

I would like to thank Goodreads, the publisher, author and translator for allowing me to read this book. I enjoyed the book and it was an easy read , kudos to the translator. The only and minor critcism I have is that was slower at the beginning and then the end of the book it almost went too fast and brought in new major characters
February 15, 2017
I intensely dislike this style of writing. It reminds me of really bad romance novels. It uses descriptive words like throbbing, pulsing, etc. and I could not stomach reading past the first few pages. If you read the first few sample pages and like this style of writing, then you may like this book. I couldn't read it.
March 30, 2017
WOW.! Wasn't able to guess the ending. It was a complete surprise. I like how she weaves in history of places, buildings and just general facts into the story. And as usual, the book was chilling, but I couldn't put it down.

On se croirait presque dans une série télé, à suivre la Crim de près dans une enquête complexe et bien rythmée avec des surprises jusqu au bout. Bien fichu !
