Yes, the profile is accurate, even though the short summary could include some additional aspects of the plot.

As in most detective stories, the brutal case at the center of the narrative, which proves to be more and more complex over time.

Nothing made me want to put the book down, but some of the main aspects of the case could have been developed in a less banal way to make the story even more unique and engaging.

THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

The leading hook is the story of a traumatized police officer who has to deal with a violent and brutal case that could endanger his sanity and also the people around him. All this is told by someone who seems to know a lot about the police and investigative universe.

The story can prove to be quite thought-provoking for fans of the police genre and good suspense. The inclusion of some more creative and different elements could even draw the attention of this audience even more.

Not yet. Although well written and developed, the narrative still needs some revisions and the inclusion of more unique elements to attract the attention of cinematographic Awards.

The most original aspect of the plot is how the author treats interactions and routine within a police unit in a natural and daily manner. Still, to be even more unique, the story could have a less common central mystery and more full of surprising elements.

The protagonist is full of traumas from the past and has a complex and troubled personal life. Still, he acts very professionally, remains very focused, and is almost obsessed with his work and with doing justice.

Despite being above average in its development, the narrative is not a rare gem because its central mystery does not have enough elements to make it memorable.

CONSIDER

Initially, it is essential to say that the author does a great job in terms of writing, with a narrative that engages the reader right from the first lines. The central characters are well developed, with their personalities taking on new contours with each twist presented by the story. These two elements make it enjoyable to follow the book, even considering that the mystery and the central investigation are neither bold nor original. This lack of tremendous raptures still has the positive side effect of making the narrative as a whole much more down-to-earth than it is common to find in this type of story. What helps a lot is that the author has actually worked within this environment for most of his life, making him write with some knowledge of the facts. However, it would be crucial to consider that the audience is also looking for something beyond the daily routine of police investigations. One of the few elements that bring this aspect to the story is the involvement of a police officer in the crime, revealed in the book's last pages. This storyline, however, lacks a better explanation and even more plausibility within the universe of the narrative. In addition, the brutal crimes from the beginning do not necessarily lead to a thought-provoking or even fascinating investigation to follow as there are not so many options for suspects. With the power of this narrative and its characters, a better-developed mystery could otherwise lead to a successful screen adaptation. And, as the open end seems to indicate, to a gripping first chapter of a franchise.
