4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody, grimm, german 'grimes' !, 11 Mar 2007
By Josephine Huys (England) - See all my reviews
  
I aggree with the other reviewers, this is good, strong stuff. The characters are interesting, their psychology credible, and the crimes twisted like a fairy tale ! Indeed, the idea to mix the fairy tales of the brother Grimm with real life murders is excellent and does not disappoint! Fascinating from beginning to end.
Fabel's relationship with his team could somehow compare with Mankell's Wallander, but then, there is no harm in that, as both are very convincing.
A fantastic read and a new angle on Fairy Tales !

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Read, 27 Aug 2006
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Brother Grimm (Hardcover)
Not the usual sort of book reviewed by the website but after reading its predecessor on a whim (well it was entitled Blood Eagle) this book became a must. The series is set in Hamburg and is a series of detective stories that weave around the central police unit of KriPo. The tale moves along at its own pace and is highly entertaining keeping the reader gripped right to the last page wondering who the murderer is. A series that I would recommend to readers of any genre who enjoy a tale that keeps them guessing to the end with realistic characters that continue to grow. Wonderfully done and something I can't recommend enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Page turner!, 30 Mar 2007
By SJSmith (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Brother Grimm (Hardcover)
I loved this book from the beginning to the end. I've got to be grabbed in the first few pages in order for me to continue reading it. This certainly did this! Once I'd negotiated the long German job titles in my head it became a lot clearer. The first chapter is a little confusing until it starts to speed up - which this book did.

The characters were easy to associate with and you were given a good insight into their personal lives and how they became linked with their working lives.

As for the plot, I wasn't sure when this book was recommended to me whether it was going to be simply weird and typical of its genre. However as one reviewer here comments, think again. I was left guessing right to the end. I knew who I thought was involved but couldn't work out why they were involved.

Chapter lengths were the right length - a good mixture of short and more detailed. I never felt confused, I was clear about exactly what was happening and I went along for the ride.

I really couldn't put this down and was disappointed everytime I had to stop reading. Devote some time to it rather than a few pages at bedtime.

I haven't read any others of his yet but I will now. I do wish I'd known a little but more about the original fairy tales however it doesn't really make that much difference. Worth the read!!
