A Victor Lessard Thriller book #3
(La Chorale du Diable), book#2, the French version
An orgy of bloody violence and ghosts from the past haunts Victor Lessard on his latest investigation. What a nightmarish chamber with horrific murders he faces while he struggles to solve the puzzle and put an end to this insanity. Where does Lessard fit in this equation? What is his connection between missing girls and the savage murder of a family and who are the lethal operatives behind a highly secretive organization the detective needs to evade?.....
What an exciting read this well-run thriller is. The author writes with a rather particular rhythm; not hectic, but rather jazzy. The background is bloody, the heroic character just right and the intrigue very complex. The plot is super well put together with the perfect ending: original and well flared. I particularly liked the fact that behind this family drama hides a twisted secret and reality about today's world. At the forefront: pedophilia, rape, murder, Satanism, belief and Catholicism. Surely not a pleasant topic meant for everyone. What a complicated investigation with so many characters that cross the pages no wonder at times I couldn’t picture what was going on...but as in any good mystery it all comes together slowly and by the end leaves you very satisfied....The predominant character is Montreal City with its good and bad. In vivid cinematic scenes the beauty of the vibrant city shines in the author’s words. The atmospheric and chilling details give goose bumps.....
If you like a dark and thrilling mystery played by well-rounded although complex characters you will enjoy "The Devil's Choir"
