Decision of the dice

Fabian Risk is investigating once again. Or rather - still, because part 5 starts right after the ending of part 4. The team around Risk were able to arrest two perpetrators in "Motive X", but the killing doesn't stop. So they finally begin to consider there being someone else who conducts his own special game. And it really is a game, considering that a couple of dices set the rules.
It is very advisable to read at least part 4 before starting this book (and in all honesty - to understand part 4 you should have read book #3). And better read them in quick succession, otherwise you won't be able to remember much and might have lots of question marks in your head. As always in Stefan Ahnheim's book there is more than only one story line, but the most prominent one this time is really the 'dice man'. Closely followed by Fabian Risk's personal investigation into the misdoings of a colleague.
Just like the other parts of this series, "X ways to die" is very thrilling and captivating. You're constantly on the edge of your seat while reading. But that's how a good thriller is supposed to be, isn't it.
