In
The Last Fix, Dahl creates a psychological thriller full of
secrets and half-told stories. The plot is complex, and despite the
fact that he takes too long to really get into the story, it is quite
engaging.
Although
this was definitely a good book, it didn't leave me satisfied. Why?
Well, first of all, when I started the book, I felt as if it would be
full of all sort of cliches, and although they're dismissed at the
end, it kept me wary during the rest of the reading.
We
face a lot of twists like any good crime novel should have, but a
little tiring at some points and despite the fact that we may be
surprised by who the real killer is, I felt as if the end was a
little cold, lacking emotion. Along the way it was almost impossible
to determine who the murderer was, and in the end... that person's
motive was the weakest part of the plot from my point of view.
During
one part of the story, we have information concerning another point
of view (the killers'), but it's so cloudy that it doesn't bring any
good to the narrative.
Frolich
and Gunnarstranda are an excellent duo that keeps us interested, but,
maybe due to the great expectations created by the reviews I had
previously read, it was sort of a let down.
