I think what makes this a great read is that it explores psychological issues and in the end questions whether justice has been done. Commandant Camille Verhoeven and his detectives have. While following this theme we explore the relationships between the members of his investigative team. Alex Prevost - beautiful, resourceful, tough - may be no ordinary victim, but her time is running out. So in a sense Verhoeven is facing his demons, and not even he is sure he should be taking on this case. The resolution of the first part of the story, the kidnapping of Alex Prevost, leads seamlessly into the second which is why she was kidnapped, and then comes the story behind that.īut that is not all there is to this novel: Commandant Camille Verhoeven is returning to this kind of investigation a considerable time after his pregnant wife was kidnapped and died as a result. That is certainly indicative of the complexity of the novel's structure which is a brachial one.
Many reviewers have commented on the difficulty of writing a review that does not reveal too much about the novel. SHES RUNNING OUT OF TIME Alex Prevost - kidnapped, beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse in a wooden cage - is in no position to.
Grippingly original. in Pierre Lemaitre he has unearthed another master of crime fiction destined to become a household name. ALEX came on to my reading list as a result of winning the CWA International Dagger award, but also because of some excellent reviews that I have read. Alex Prvost - kidnapped, savagely beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse in a wooden cage - is running. Alex Prevost - kidnapped, beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse in a wooden cage - is in no position to bargain. Alex had me gripped more than almost any book I can remember, with one shout-out-aloud knockout twist after another Peter James MacLehose has done it again.
