review:

A serial killer is intent on killing 7 women in 7 days in Paris, and police chief Nico Sirsky is on the case. Eventually, he becomes the target of the mysterious killer, and those closest to him are in danger.



It's a fairly standard police procedural, from award winning French author, Frederique Molay. The killer leaves no clues, but commits really grisly crimes. There are some decent red herrings scattered about for the reader as well as Nico. I found it hard to really believe a veteran cop could fall so quickly for a new woman like Nico did, and that pulled me out of the story a bit, but perhaps that's a cultural thing.



I was able to figure out who was committing the crimes, but not all the motives, but it's a fast enough read, and enough of a nailbiter to keep thriller fans flipping pages.
