Review: Well-Written Good Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

The book has a lot of suspense, mystery, and twists and turns to keep you reading into the wee hours of the night. There was an admirable amount of character development, which allows the reader to get to know, not just the main character - Rebekka Franck - really well but also her co-workers and as well as the unfortunate victims in the story. It almost seemed, at times, like you're reading a series of stories within a story. Using lobotomy as an modus operandi certainly makes things interesting as well.Unfortunately, there were other elements to the story which made the book seemed a bit annoying- too much sex and s&m; were involved. Also, the idea of romance between some of the main characters (love triangle?) didn't seem to mesh well with the story. It also seemed like everything was rushed to a close at the end, as if to say, 'we're done with this story, especially since you know who the killer is, so on to the next one.'Overall, Three, Four ... Better lock your door was mostly enjoyable and hard to put down, for the most part. Highly recommended, especially for slow days.
