The lady from Zagreb (2015)
"From New York Times-bestselling author Philip Kerr, the much-anticipated return of Bernie Gunther in a …
The first half of the book felt as if it had been written by someone who was forced to write protesting that he had nothing to write about. I have read most of Kerr's books and liked them very much but this one, at least the first half, twists so much around insignificant content that one wonders why the author is writing at all.
The second half picks up and feels more like getting down to real business but is an honest novel at best.

Jusqu’au jour du Drame, il y avait deux familles Goldman. Les Goldman-de-Baltimore et les Goldman-de-Montclair. …
En général on reconnaît toujours le style d'un écrivain dans ses tournures de phrases, sa manière d'enchaîner les paragraphes, son vocabulaire, etc
Mais ici vraiment l'auteur exagère, il s'agit ni plus ni moins d'un copie-coller de son précédent, exactement la même structure, les mêmes personnages, les mêmes endroits comme la maison isolée louée pour écrire avec le voisin qui se pointe tout le temps.
un effort tout de même !

Don't look back (2005, Harcourt)
I would qualify the book as passable at best. The plot is not uninteresting, well developed but the writing is a bit naive, as it written by a teenager. The sentences are awkward as if the author is writing an essay for the first time.

"I adored her all the more, because of the eternal human stupidity of pursuing those who hurt us the most." This novel seems to me (because I have only read 10%) the kind that could have been written by a 12 year old child. The book is full of "deep" revelations similar to the one quoted at the beginning of my review. Maybe it's done on purpose as it tells a story from the point of view of a ten year old boy but for me it's a bit overdone and makes for a tedious reading.
