Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Reading this book is fairly easy. Short sentences. Simple language.
Dan Cooper is away from home, which he often is due to his work. After screwing the hotel's receptionist in the afternoon, he unexpectedly finds his wife Lisa in his room when he returns after supper. Lisa is dead. And on her phone is a message from Dan telling her to come up to his room. But Dan never sent this message. Panicking, Dan goes is running. Away from Britain and through the whole of Europe.
I'm certain this could be made a very interesting story. Could. But not in this book. The protagonist is constantly asking himself why this has happened and who might have done it. Yes, he does get some answers in the end, but without anything that feels like a highlight of the story or a big relevation or the like. All in all: There are lots of better books out there.
