Amsterdam. Black woman, naked, her
lifeless eyes staring in the unknown. Her corpse is ripped off, her
internal organs missing. Paul van den Bergen has one more murder to
solve.
London. Georgina (George) McKenzie is
in psychiatric hospital observing a patient, a serial killer. She
works on her doctorate in criminology, has a special sense for
details, what makes her more than a good detective. She is civil, but
she is connected with van den Bergen, and he calls her to help him to
solve the murder of the African girl in Amsterdam.
When second body appears, ripped off
like an unzipped bag, it is more than obvious that it is a work of a
serial killer. Both victims are murdered in similar way, both are
from the streets and nobody misses them.
Van den Bergen and George are starting
one hell of a journey to find the serial killer who kills people from
Amsterdam to London. The lead will take them to the underground world
of children's pornography, slave trading and prostitution. It will
take them to the finest and most respective surgeons in the world.
From one end of the line to the another, when it comes to the twisted
human mind, there are no limits, there are no boundaries. Still
unhealed from the previous case, van den Bergen and George have to
smooth their differences and join the forces in order not just to
find the murderer and stop the killings, but to heal their own
wounds, physical and emotional.
The relationship between van den Bergen
and George is constantly on-off. She has a boyfriend, Ad, but she has
a crush on van den Bergen and he has a crush on her. But his
consciousness tells him that she is his daughter's age. There is
chemistry, definitely, but also many unanswered questions between
them. Each one of them lives in his/hers own bubble, not letting the
other one in. As the story goes, the differences between them are
getting smaller and this relationship is definitely going somewhere.
This is book two from the series and I
feel sorry not starting from the first book. The second one can
definitely stand alone, but I would like to know how it all started.
„The Girl Who Broke the Rules“ is
one hell of a book. There are scenes in the story so tensed that are
very hard for reading. Brutal, sadistic, violent, fulfilled with
creepy details. Some of them were very hard for me to read. Ms.
Riches has written a psychological thriller that won't let you sleep
at night. Creepy, scary, violent and emotional, will take you on a
journey that you'll never forget. A new turn-over on every page, a
lead that goes to a dead end, a creepy scene where new murder is
going to happen. This story has it all! Totally recommended!
Attention, it will leave you sleepless for couple of nights because
you won't be able to put it down till finish reading it!
My opinion: 5 / 5.
