In Alex by
Pierre Lemaitre, a woman is kidnapped but that just touches the surface
in this captivating novel. It is filled with twists and turns that I
never saw coming which caused me to really enjoy this book a lot! I can
certainly see why it won a CWA International Dagger Award for the Best
Crime Novel of 2013! I highly recommend this one if you want a good thriller. It's my favorite read for September! Read and enjoy!

Alex by Pierre Lemaitre is a
dark crime novel that is also a psychological thriller which takes place
in Paris is all about revenge. Although the serial killer is revealed
early on, the police take a long time drawing a connection
between the victims. They appear to be random killings, but all
gruesome in the same way. Alex, the main character is a complicated
person to say the least. My favorite part was when the rats were
crawling all over the crate Alex was trapped in! The author
did an excellent job in evoking a wide range of feelings toward Alex.
This novel is certainly a page turner and one that is so creepy that I
couldn’t help thinking about even when I wasn’t reading it. I highly
recommend this to anyone who likes murder mysteries
and police investigation novels.
