Summary

 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."

Four days later, a man and a woman are found deep in woodland, their throats slashed, the names "Hansel" and "Gretel" written on slips of paper pressed into their hands. As Jan Fabel, of the Hamburg murder squad, interprets this twisted imagery, it becomes clear that each new crime is a grisly reference to folk stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. The hunt is on for a serial killer who is exploring the darkest, most fundamental fears hidden in ancient fairy tales.

Thought it would be a struggle to find someone to compete with Steig Larsonn but Craig Russell is very close. Well constructed and believable key characters.

After thoroughly enjoying Blood Eagle I continued on with the second title. Craig Russell continues to build on the characters from the 1st book with a very well done thriller! It had me guessing until the end. Recommended if you enjoyed his first book.

Almost Better than Blood Eagle

I revisited this book and enjoyed it just as much. The combination of the story and narration evoked the smells of baking and hot sugar.

Can smell the baking

Great narrator, compelling gruesome story. Fabel as a character is straightforward with no apparent baggage. The hook and explanation s of the meanings behind Brothers Grimm points me in that direction for more …..

Brilliant
