For a book written in English, "A Devil Under the Skin" has a lot of awkward sentences and strange uses of English words. I don't mean that Ms Lipska has added grammar slips to make Janusz Kiszka sound more like an immigrant, I mean Ms Lipska writes some strange sentences. Why does she use "a shoe repairers" rather than "cobbler" or even "shoe repair shop"? Or "to recognize even" instead of "even to recognize"? Occam's Razor is not a law in the philosophical or scientific meaning of law. There are others. This is the first Kiszka and Kershaw I have read and it is fine as a standalone. You get enough background to understand what's going without being burdened by it. I would have ranked it higher if I had liked the sentences more. I received a review copy of "A Devil Under the Skin: Kiszka and Kershaw Book 3" by Anya Lipska (HarperCollins UK) through NetGalley.com. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The third Kiszka and Kershaw crime thriller. Things are looking up for Janusz Kiszka, big-hearted 'fixer' to London's Poles. His girlfriend/the love of his life, Kasia, is finally leaving her no-good husband to make a new life with him, and he's on the brink of a deal to ensure their financial security for years to come. Then Kasia vanishes - and the big Pole's world is torn apart. Convinced she's been abducted, he must swallow his pride and seek the help of an old contact - maverick cop Natalie Kershaw, who's been suspended following a fatal shooting. But the search swiftly takes an even darker turn... What connects Kasia's disappearance and a string of brutal East End murders? And who is the mysterious and murderous enforcer stalking the streets of London? Meanwhile, time is running out for Kasia. To reach her, Kiszka must confront a gut-wrenching dilemma that will shape the rest of his life. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

My only disappointment was to discover that the simmering romance between Natalie and Janusz had gone off the boil as his long term affair with Kasia has finally come to a head as she agrees to leave her no-good husband and move in with him (we like Kasia but Booo). Before she gets the chance however she disappears and Janusz must rope in Natalie to help him find her (Hurrah).
Their characters continue to develop and grow and the minor characters really come into their own in this book especially Oskar (who I love) who proves that there are deep feelings below that jokey exterior. Keep up the great work I for one will be waiting impatiently for the next book. ( )
