Sinossi
Sono giovani, belli, felici. Sono giovani coppie in viaggio di nozze, in giro per le più importanti capitali europee. Hanno tutta la vita davanti. Ma sono morti che camminano. Perché qualcuno li uccide e ricompone i cadaveri in pose enigmatiche, li fotografa con una Polaroid e poi invia la foto a un giornalista del quotidiano locale. Ma quel giornalista sa che cosa lo aspetta, perché pochi giorni prima ha ricevuto una cartolina dai killer, una cartolina di morte.
Jacob Kanon, detective del NYPD, è l'unico sulle tracce dei killer, ma è sempre un passo indietro. Eppure non si arrende, non può cedere, perché ha un motivo del tutto personale per fermare la strage. Ora, finalmente, è a pochi passi dalla soluzione. Dopo Roma, Francoforte, Copenhagen e Parigi, Stoccolma potrebbe essere l'ultima tappa della catena di omicidi. Tutto dipende da una giornalista svedese, la giovane e agguerrita Dessie. Lei ha ricevuto l'ultima cartolina di morte e solo lei può aiutare Kanon, prima che i killer mettano in atto una contromossa imprevista. O forse l'hanno già fatto?

Recensioni
Tried in vain to see if my interest for crime novels was still there, but I’m afraid my days for liking police novels are over. The journalist involved was a plus however!
NYPD cop Jacob Kanon has been chasing a pair of vicious killers across the capitals and holiday hotspots of Europe, killers who kick-started their murderous spree by butchering his daughter and her fiancée in Rome. Before each murder, a postcard is sent to the local newspaper, and when Stockholm-bas Leggi tutto

The best thing I can say about the book is that it's a page turner and that's about it. As far as I understand from user reviews, it's a typical James Patterson novel (I haven't read any of his other books), so if you're a fan you're going to enjoy it. That is not my case, however. The novel is action Leggi tutto
3.5* Not bad at all. I enjoyed the story and characters. I love standalones but some of these characters would have been interesting to read about in series format for sure. The international hunt of these killers is pretty engrossing and the story does move at a good pace. My only issue was the quic Leggi tutto
Honestly, I feel like I read this so long ago. I know it wasn't 2021 like Goodreads says. I probably just added it to my reads at that point.This book was so thrilling and I've been thinking about it a lot lately as I watched the movie adaptation recently. Twists on twists. Bruna This one.
I've read Patterson before but this one was addictive, a real page turner. First of all I'm a sucker for anything with a reference to Paris on the cover (the Eiffel Tower in this case - paperback version). When I picked it up and read the endorsement on the back from the BookReporter.com "A fun read Leggi tutto
