S'il nous semble parfois avoir le choix, los angeles plupart du temps, nous savons qu'il n'en est rien. Ainsi, il ne nous reste plus qu'à essayer de recomposer le puzzle qui nous a menés à un definite fast, et à un état sure. Pour l. a. plupart des explanations, il restera incomplet, peut-être tout simplement parce que l. a. vie n'a pas été créée pour l. a. comprendre, mais pour los angeles vivre. Pour un auteur, ce jeu de puzzles offre, avec le maniement de l. a. langue, un plaisir peu concurrencé. Ce plaisir, il espère le partager avec son lecteur. Dans ce quatrième roman, l'auteur excelle à mettre en position les rouages complexes inhérents à toute humaine. En ménageant suspense et surprises, elle révèle, avec finesse, vraisemblance et empathie, les tragiques soubresauts des consciences confrontées au pire.
