3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
The first instalment in the best-selling original Dutch thriller The Heartland Trilogy - think Stieg Larsson's Millennium series *** A hit-and-run on a woodland road near Amsterdam involving an Afghan boy is connected to a powerful international crime syndicate. Journalist Farah Hafez, together with her colleague Paul Chapelle, gets caught up in an investigation that takes them all the way to Moscow and has greater political and personal ramifications than they bargained for. After this perilous journey, their lives will never be the same again. Butterfly on the Storm, the first instalment of The Heartland Trilogy, is not only a fast-paced thriller, but also an intriguing tale of lost loves and ideals.

Farah Hafez, a journalist in Amsterdam, becomes involved in a disturbing case when a young Afghan boy is found by the side of the road. Apparently the victim of a hit-and-run, the boy is barely alive, & dressed as a girl.

The story itself was intriguing, it deals with some strong issues - paedophilia, immigration, etc - but the MC is unconvincing. Female characters can be sexy without being objectified. 2⭐️

Mehso-so

I wish I could rate this book in two halves. The first half I thoroughly enjoyed it was a totally unique read. The second half I lost the story there were more characters coming in and it got a bit more confusing. This would probably all come together more over the course of the three books
