I don’t think I fully knew what to expect going into this novel, but by the time I finished, I was pretty blown away.Syndrome E begins with a man at an estate sale. He’s an avid film collector (the old kind, 35 mm and so on) and purchases a film that has no label or any sort of identifying information. He watches it and proceeds to go blind. In his blindness, he gets to his phone and calls anybody. That anybody just so happens to be his ex-girlfriend, Lucie, who is already at the hospital accompanying her daughter who has an intestinal bug. Lucie is a cop and takes special interest in that film. The second storyline follows a serial killer profiler named Sharko. Several bodies have been dug up at a construction site, all missing the tops of their skulls and their eyes. Somehow, these two stories are connected and somehow, these two cops will need to share their information in order to figure out what’s going on in the bigger picture.The plot ends up taking the characters to various parts of the world to investigate. The writing is well done and each chapter will make the reader want to continue reading until they look out their window and see the sun coming up. I love to speculate about what’s going to happen while I’m reading, and in every instance, I was dead wrong. The plot twists and turns and constantly leaves you guessing as to what will happen next. The scale at which the book left off, was incredible. At no point did I imagine anything as grand.The characters are well done, and although sometimes the dialog felt a little disjointed or repetitive, I suspect that had more to do with the translation than the writing. The original version is in French. Many of the names and places are retained in their original French and though it can be a little confusing, it’s not confusing enough to say anything negative about. The characters are very well-written. They’re bigger than the words on the paper. They have a fullness about them and are very unlike typical clichéd cop characters that you sometimes come across in thrillers like this.As soon as I finished, I went out and bought the sequel because I wanted to see more from this author and see more from these characters. This is an excellent book with tons of twists, turns and thrills throughout. I highly recommend it!
