The Vanishing | Tim Krabbé

Pickpick

I saw the Dutch film of this book a few years ago, which was an impetus to get the novel when I saw it. Well, novel is pushing it a bit: at 115 pages of large-font, double-spaced text, this chilling psychological thriller is really a short story or novella. Anyway, there are no gory details of what happened to the "vanished" woman, but the effects of her disappearance on her boyfriend and views into the mind of the perpetrator are gripping. 4/5?

arubabookwoman I remember liking the movie too. Will need to look for the book. I‘ve read one other book by Krebbe that I‘ve liked. 7y
Bookwomble @arubabookwoman I've not read any of his other stuff. I got this one as it was the only interesting book in English I could find in a bookshop when we were holidaying in the Netherlands a few years ago 7y
arubabookwoman The one I read was #TheCave, and it was quite clever plot-wise. 7y
Bookwomble @arubabookwoman I'll look it up. BTW if you want to link to a book, there's a little grey bookmark icon under the comment section - tap that and you can search for the book link you want 🙂 7y

I am sure it's these words that inspired this cover image for #booksix from Jonny Duddle. So much action and movement. A terrible scene, with Harry learning much about power and how to wield it. So much to overcome.
