What do users say? AI-generated summary

Readers generally appreciate the well-written novel, its interesting characters, and its social dimension. The story flows smoothly, with vivid descriptions, and many find it captivating and want to continue the series. However, several consider the plot predictable, while some find it somewhat boring or slow.

  • This review is about the book: Book 1

    I took a while to get attached to the plot and the characters, but by the time I finished it I can say that I loved it and I want to read the next books in the series too. I read the second half in one day. You definitely go through various possibilities in your mind about who the culprit ultimately is, but from a certain point onward it becomes quite predictable.

    This review is about the book: 5: Empty Wedding Dress

    Excellent novel. The heroes continue to surprise you with the way the authors' writing makes them mature. Very good work that has nothing to envy from similar works by foreign authors

    This review is about the book: Friendly Fire

    Very good like the first one, however the book opened at the base and came off when I pressed it a little in the middle. Otherwise, I recommend it because of the author.

    I finished it in 5 days. Fantastic, but you should also get the next one. The story ends, but the same characters continue in the second one.

    This review is about the book: Book 1

    A mediocre book but well-written. It became a bit boring for a crime novel. It's okay, nothing special. Manta has much better ones

    Easily predictable, which is a problem for this particular type of books. It would have liked a bit more effort from both women.

    This review is about the book: Book 1

    The positives: The book is a page-turner! Very easy to follow and interesting until the end, with very good descriptions of the characters and the scenes! It's like watching a movie.

    The negatives: There was no twist. Anyone with even a little familiarity with detective novels or movies can recognize the murderer before the middle of the book! (Still, it doesn't lose its interest though)
    Personally, it reminded me A LOT of the Chestnut Man (I haven't read the book but I've seen the Netflix series) and I could consider the plot as a good adaptation with adjustments to the Greek context (since we don't make chestnut men here!) Meaning, the profile of the heroine, the murderer, and even the motive are the same!

    Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next book by the author duo!

Description & Specifications

SCRIPTA MANENT. THE WRITTEN WORD ENDURES...

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS CAREFULLY PRESERVED. WHERE THE HEART OF EVERYTHING... BEATS. OR RATHER WHERE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. NOTHING THAT CAN BE FELT. NOTHING THAT CAN REMIND. NOTHING THAT CAN TESTIFY...

…HOW LITERATURE CAN PROVE TO BE VERY FRIGHTENING. EVEN DEADLY...

: the most important – literally and symbolically – human organ. A symbol of love, affection, tenderness. It expresses desire, emotion, excitement. It defines life.

: a symbol of betrayal, deceit, abandonment. It expresses loneliness, sorrow, frustration. It defines death.

But what can a heart that is no longer in its place symbolize? Without ever having stopped beating? Nora Dendrinou and Nikolas Panagiotidis are once again called to dive into dark and dangerous worlds. They plunge where the instinct for survival breeds murder. Where death means life. Where love turns into terror and affection becomes a prison. Where classical literature meets... absurd literature.

Because sometimes monsters do not leap from the pages of books. The monsters are... the pages of the books.

Read an excerpt

It was our first outing after a long time. Or at least, our first carefree outing after a long time. The evening was summery, even though it wasn’t even mid-May yet. We had never been to this restaurant before, but I had promised myself, when it opened about a year earlier, that someday I would bring her here. When everything would finally be alright, when it would all be over. We were sitting at a table right on the rock where the waves broke, and the sea breeze, combined with the scent of jasmine and night-blooming flowers, would have intoxicated me, if she hadn’t been sitting across from me. She, who had always enchanted all my senses, who monopolized everything with just one glance, who captivated both my soul and my mind just by being there, just by existing. I loved this “prison”; I wanted to remain inside it forever, after all, I knew every inch of it inside out.
