Purgatory: A Thriller af Guido Eekhaut
I did not read book one in the series, but I don't feel like I'm missing any important information that would make this one easier to read. (Although I'm sure I'd have a better understanding of the main characters off the bat). This was a dark thriller with religious fanatics and horrifying murders that kept me turning pages for hours. The characters were fairly fleshed out, and I'll definitely be putting book one on my TBR list.

Guido Eekhaut is a well-known figure in the Belgian sf scene, who has also written a couple of dozen books, most of them speculative fiction but also some thrillers. This particular book was commissioned a few years back by Belgian railways as part of a set of six novels for commuters. (What a good idea!!!) It's set inand around Leuven, the city where we both live (well, I'm a bit outside it), and concerns an occult police detective (named Solomon) with a newly acquired sidekick (Lisa Noman, who is a woman) investigating the demonic deaths of a couple of senior university officials on top of the university library. There's lots of fun exploration of the city, both parts I know and parts I don't, and some interesting speculation on how magic actually works. I did feel the ending was a little rushed, and wondered if it might have been more satisfactory without the rather severe length restriction imposed by the sponsor.… (mere)

Leuke thriller. Hij leest erg vlot en zeker naar het einde toe wordt het erg spannend.
Goed verhaal, goed geschreven. Personnages worden zeer goed onderboud. Soms zelfs iets te veel waardoor het verhaal in sommige hoofdstukken de nodige gedrevenheid mist. Onderwerp is evenwel zeer actueel en beschrijft de toenemende invloed van de Russische mafia in onze samenleving. Met geld kan je alles kopen, vooral de op macht beluste politiekers.
