boum finished reading Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane
interesting but it took a long time to really start
actually there is a first story about Rachel looking for her father. when this thread ends, there is a long “so what now” period a bit dull
it makes the last part feel rushed, but that’s just contrast. and it’s good, more would have been too much

boum reviewed Le cercle by Bernard Minier
bon polar
3 stars
quelques tropes marqués : ‑ protagoniste qui devient aveugle ‑ tous les flics décident d’intervenir seuls, et ça carempouille
l’intrigue se tient mais le rythme n’était peut-être pas bien dosé à mon gout

impossible de mettre le doigt sur ce qui manque à ce livre pour être franchement bon ça se lit bien, l’intrigue est assez bien cousue
