Seule la haine
by David Ruiz Martin, published on June 10, 2021 by Éditions Taurnada.
Her favorite quote:
“But hatred is an assassin that kills human feelings. "
Why this book?
Because isn't a closed-door setting the best framework for an
effective and suffocating psychological
thriller
?
What is certain is that he does not spare his reader with this plunge into the arcana of the human mind.
The atmosphere is anxious, loaded with threats.
The freezing effect is quickly felt.
Because we are quickly trapped in a
dark and gloomy
narrative
.
The more the reading advances, the more the favorable outcome seems compromised.
Choices will have to be made.
Will Larry be able to remain the good psychoanalyst and find the right words to change the situation?
Elliott, he only wants to destroy.
One weapon can only be used to force the other to listen to you… the truth is the deadliest bullet.
Because a novel as dark as it is well constructed, a
complex
antihero
which gives you chills… this is enough to satisfy lovers of good psychological thrillers.
The author takes the opportunity to explode the veneer of the omnipotence that is granted with closed eyes to shrinks who, sometimes, destroy as many lives as they rebuild.
