“Listy zza grobu” By Remigiusz Mróz Review

Dwadzieścia lat po śmierci ojca Kaja Burzyńska wciąż otrzymuje od niego wiadomości. Zadbał o to, przygotowując je zawczasu i zlecając coroczną wysyłkę tego samego, pozornie przypadkowego dnia. Po czasie Kaja traktuje to już jedynie jako zwyczajną tradycję – aż do momentu, gdy w listach zaczyna dostrzegać drugie dno. Tymczasem do miasteczka po dwudziestu dwóch latach wraca Seweryn Zaorski. Patomorfolog i samotny ojciec dwójki dzieci kupuje zrujnowany dom rodzinny Kai i rozpoczyna remont. W zniszczonym garażu odnajduje zamurowaną skrytkę z materiałami, które rzucają nowe światło na sprawę sprzed dwóch dekad.

At the time of writing this review this book is only available in polish.

At this point I was read multiple books written by Remigiusz Mróz, and I gotta say that I’ve read worse books written by the author and I have read better books by this author. So this book is firmly in the middle.

In my opinion this book is all over the place, because there is a lot of things happening in this book and we follow two perspectives in this book.

The plot here is that the wife of the major is a policewoman and her father went missing with no trace 2 decades before and ever since her father went missing she gets weird letters from her father. So we follow her investigation to what happened with her father those 2 decades ago but then we get mob investigation and secret society investigation which really made it very very confusing for me.

The characters in this book were very far from being good. Don’t get me wrong they were okay. But in the end I just didn’t care about them nor did I bother to remember them for a long time after finishing this book.

The main character in this book was very meh, because I didn’t care at all about what will happen with him. In my opinion he makes stupid decisions and was not the smartest character I came across.

Its important to say that this book is the first book in the series of named “Seweryn Zaorski” which at the time of writing this book is a 5 books series. 

I need to be honest here and say that the first part of this book was actually very good, intriguing, interesting and enjoyable. But the second part of it is when the book started going down hill at least in my opinion. Which of course might explain why I gave this book a 3 star rating. 

The writing style in this book is okay. I have no strong feels about the writing style in this book. Because the author uses very simple and easy language which really doubt make you think about what is happening in the book but rather tells you straight away “this happens, then this happens and then this happens”. Which I personally am not a fan of. I prefer when the authors leave space to reader imagination rather than setting the plot in stone.

The ending of this book as Ive said above is all over the place and left me very confused about what had just happened. Which in my opinion isn’t a good thing if the author wants me give his book a good rating.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
