Bravo 5 fois Maxime Chattam

Ceci est mon premier Roman de Maxime Chattam, car habituellement je ne lit que des roman americains et Anglais. J'ai décidé de lui donné une chance et WOW il m'a éblouit. Très profond commes roman, ses personnage sont vraies, simples et n'a le presentiment de les connaitre. Il nous tient hors halleine tout le long de sont merveilleusement ecrit Roman. Vous ne regretterai pas de lui donné sa chance! Car moi je continu ses series sa c'est certain! Bonne Lecture.

Well Crafted Thriller

Maxime Chattam's novel is a French thriller set in Portland, Oregon. A killer is killing young women and stealing their body parts. When the killer is finally caught and killed, police detective Joshua Brolin thought that the nightmare was over.Flashforward a year later, where a new killer is on the loose. Only, this new killer is murdering young women just like the other one did, and all the evidence seems to point to the fact that the killer would infact be the dceased Leeland Beauman, whom Joshua killed a year ago. Even worst, this new killer seems to be going after the young Juliette, the young woman who would have been Leeland's last victim had Joshua not intervened. Chattam has studied criminology, and he knows profiling and the way of a killer's mind like the back of his own hand. This book is very complex, at times feeling like a criminology lecture more than a fiction novel. Then agian, it is this very attention to details and facts that makes this read so incredible.The only thing I have to reproach the story is that the killer's presence is not manifested as much as it should be. I would have liked a more potent killer, a killer who's presence was felt on every page. But as it stands, L'Ame du Mal is a very complex and well crafted thriller that is filled with twists and turns. You'll never guess the ending, and you can't help but like the very vivid characters. A great read!
