Book Review: The Bride Collector

As with most of Dekkers other crime works it leans toward the dark and mentally insane.  Having read many of those works I have to say this work is stronger than most of his earlier.  The characters are better fleshed out and the storyline is linear.  Also I found myself identifying with both the hero and the antagonist.  The fact that both of them were deeply screwed up people does not show me in a good light.  Final verdict: Get this book, good read, good story.
