Linus Reichlin wrote remarkable crime novel. The original is in the same share as the inclusion of a seemingly disorderly incidents that at times totally do not match. Is an unusual way of building tension. An intriguing combination of exploring the mysteries of death with theories in quantum physics ... mostly on the life and existence. At the end of the same title. "Longing atoms to complete ... it was a matter for her life." Reichlin book is after all a book about life, not death, but between the two limits are quite noticeable at times. This is a story about how death can be overcome, even if you can not accept it. Reichlin atoms live forever at any price they want overcome the deadness, immobility. His heroes alive, more or less equated with the atoms by the same author, will get to know the truth about life and myself. story begins in Bruges. There also are close to retirement inspector Hannes Jensen meets an eccentric American, John Ritter and his special children, two twins. Man tries to convince police that someone threatened him with death. Jensen focuses primarily on the extraordinary figures of boys, their father as an alcoholic, and recognizing the myths. What will be his surprise, when Ritter died, his children one hour after the death of his father ordered a plane ticket across the ocean, a pathologist will not be able to determine the cause of death of a man, and when Jensen really involved in this matter and decided to go in the wake of the boys Ritter, at the threshold of his Lodging can blind Annick O'Hara, along with that then look for the children's guardians Jensen Ritter and solve unusual mysteries.
Reichlin well graded voltage and can surprise on virtually every page. Initially, it is predictable. You can in fact be convinced that, since the policeman takes up the matter for five days before his retirement, not solve it this time. But when it turns out, it is likely that the victim is not, and the whole thing hides much more than seems at the beginning, reading becomes a passion for discovery. Secrets Ritter and his alleged sons. Their babysitter Esperanza. What blind hides Annick and why so much for any price he wants to find That up Esperanza.
This novel follows in a strange direction - from ordering to make ever greater chaos. From this randomness However, the event creates a new meaning. action takes us along with a retired Belgian police and a mysterious beautiful woman who, for unknown reasons, lost sight, first to a provincial town in Arizona, then to Mexico. Both will experience many times of what it really hard to describe, and what seems to be impossible to survive. Both during this particular trip will be - as already stated - to discover the truth about themselves. And to overcome death, literally and figuratively.
What deserves more attention Reichlin in an original way of portraying his characters. Like we know about Jens and Annick lot, but it really proves that we know very little. Jensen's death and his mother's partner, a couple trying to build an oasis of peace and dreams about it, but after retiring to take up the proposed splitting of the electron experiment. Annick has experienced the death of her husband and it's hard to accept it. These two lines do not experience anything else than the departing ones. So what will make together will commence on a risky journey, and during this trip will be closest to ... yourself?
"Longing atoms" is a story of escaping criminal attempt of classification of species. Reichlin received her award "Deutscher Krimipreis. Need to distinguish this book primarily because it combines in an unusual way a few quantum theories of human destiny and its unpredictability. It is important that the story itself is unpredictable and the last page can not be sure nothing in it. And I really like the book in which anything can not be sure.
