Brother Grimm (Jan Fabel #2)
What an amazingly strong sequel!! I think I enjoyed this follow-up more even than the first book in the series, Blood Eagle. This may, in part, be due to my own love of fairy tales. Russell impeccably weaves the Grimm Brothers fairy tales into this murder mystery without adding a hokey or downright silly tone to the novel at all. Its a riveting story and the plot certainly takes some unpredictable twists. Though there are plenty of clues thrown in to help reveal the killers true identity,
A fast paced thriller with twists and turns at every corner. Absolutely fascinating.
I found this to be an unusual approach to a serial killer story. For one thing, it is set in Germany, and all the aspects of the story - names, places, culture, investigative style - are unrepentently German. I don't say that as a criticism. In fact the logic-based, methodical way of investigating that the team hunting this killer employ is actually quite refreshing in comparison to the car-chase, fist-fight, over-the-top approach that American murder stories tend to employ. This was a very
This is part of a police series set in Hamburg by a Scottish author. There is an insane serial killer at loose whose murders are related to Grimm's Fairytales and finally Jan Fabel and his team catch him. This isn't a bad story if you can stomach the grotesque murders but for me none of the police characters came to life. On the plus side there were some clues to the identity of the murderer which I should have spotted but did not. On the minus side the author uses German terminology throughout
there's fairy tales, and then there's serial killer. Oh my, what a perfect kind of book for me xDand there's also the history about the fairy tales, and variations of them.the criminal part's also engaging, not over done, but good. you can feel the creep on your neck while reading this book...i like it.

Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Brother Grimm (Jan Fabel #2)
A girl's body lies, posed, on the pale sand of a Hamburg beach, a message concealed in her hand. 'I have been underground, and now it is time for me to return home...' Jan Fabel, of the Hamburg Murder Squad, struggles to interpret the twisted imagery of a dark and brutal mind. Four days later, a man and a woman are found deep in woodland, their throats slashed deep and wide, the names 'Hansel' and 'Gretel', in the same tiny, obsessively neat writing, rolled tight and pressed into their hands. As it becomes clear that each new cime is a grisly reference to folk stories collected almost two hundred years ago by the Brothers Grimm, the hunt is on for a serial killer who is exploring our darkest, most fundamental fears. A predator who kills and then disappears into the shadows. A monster we all learned to fear in childhood.List Of Books Brother Grimm (Jan Fabel #2)

After finishing the first book and the end I was intrigued and needed to read this book, following the adventures of Jan Fabel is very exciting because you enter a very interesting world. After the events of the first book, the murderer with an obsession with the tales of the Grimm brothers, recently read their stories and read how important it is for German culture was very impressive.What an amazingly strong sequel!!
