It took me a bit to get used to the writing style. It differs from chapter to chapter between first person and third person narration. Once I got the hang of it, I found it very fitting for the story itself. What was most strikingly was the blurred line between “good” and “evil”. This wasn’t a story about the good police officers taking the bad guys from the gangs to the station. Both sides get their view points, characters on both sides get their voice and their depth. The middle part was a bit very easygoing on comparison to the beginning of the book, that took us right into the middle of what was going on in the life of DI Kennedy. The final was equally thrilling but took the arc of suspense even further and I was glued to the pages and felt like I couldn’t read fast enough to get to know what will happen next. The writing is – even apart from the change of first and third person narration – very unique. I had some trouble to grasp everything that was told but that doesn’t derogate how much I enjoyed reading this book, that I found purely by chance and bought out of a feeling in the guts that it will be one of those works that don’t get much attention although they should. A great, unique and very interesting read.
