WILD ANIMAL
JOEL DICKER
Joel Dicker is one of my favorite mystery and thriller writers. To make this statement even more remarkable, Mr. Dicker is Swiss and has to rely on a translator to convey his stories.
Wild Animal is a mystery that grabs you and never lets you go. The book is outstanding and takes place in Geneva and other cities in France. The characters are multidimensional, with family, emotional, and financial problems and motivations that propel the book from page to page until it ends. Wild Animal is perfectly named as it is unpredictable and dangerous yet compelling, as if the reader is facing a lion on the Savannah. You will remember this book for weeks after you read it. It is a great mystery that contains procedural elements, and as a bonus, takes place in Europe, which gives the characters glamour similar to Formula One. Wild Animal is simply a great book. I recommend that the reader make every effort to purchase Mr. Dicker's backlist and be prepared for outstanding entertainment.
