Il bagno rituale (Italian Edition) (original 1986; udgave 2012)

Der Polizist Peter Decker untersucht die brutale Vergewaltigung einer Frau, die aus einem Badehaus zurückkehrt, in dem Frauen ihr Reinigungsritual vollziehen. Dort trifft er die schöne Rina Lazarus, die einzige, die bereit ist, mit der Polizei zu kooperieren. Doch als die beiden sich näher kommen, gerät die Untersuchung in Konflikt mit Rinas Überzeugungen und droht, sie auseinander zu reißen.

I had read this book many years ago and enjoyed it then. I've recently read the 2 newest Faye Kellerman books and was trying to remember how Peter and Rina met. It was fun to go back in time to a day when people used house phones and had very few computers.
Faye Kellerman does an amazing job of creating characters who are so well written and strong that they can continue to delight years later. I'm really glad that I went back to the beginning to see how these two met and started a life long love. ( )

A great introduction to a mystery series that focuses as much on character development as it does on solving the case. ( )

This was an enjoyable read. I'd say it is more romance than crime novel, but not an insipid romance. In general, I do not consider most romances to be acceptable even to the point of calling them novels.

I'm not sure if I will read another in the series. If I am just looking for entertainment I might. ( )

Non so....forse le mie aspettative erano troppo alte, ma ho trovato la storia troppo troppo tirata per i capelli, e poi lenta da morire......
i dialoghi senza mai una fine...... e dire che di infinite possibilità ve ne erano a bizzeffe...
L'idea di ricavare un mistery nell'ambiente dell'ortodossia ebraica è già un inizio strepitoso...peccato vedere una trama così scialba e farraginosa....
il finale veramente triste senza un minimo di plot twist finale...Peccato!! ( )
