An author who blends perfectly with that JD Barker capable of the most maddening suspense at times, diluted in a search for the most youthful hook at others… Because thrillers and police dramas already flood everything. There is no genre or plot reserved for adult readings. And those of us who once read the adventures of the five as gore as possible, are now amazed by the diversity of plots labeled for kids.
Focusing on the work of Dot Hutchison, her "The Collector" series arouses sensations as contradictory as they are surely premeditated by the author. There can be no doubt that animosity and chaos can be hidden in beauty and detail. The question is daring to cross the threshold to find the reasons for the appearances, as confronted with the essences of so many characters as taken from the sample of horrors.
Because behind the apparent reality of the most exemplary neighbor, the most luxuriant hatred can always hide, clinging to the existence of the character on duty like a zigzagging vine around the soul. Dot plays a lot with that and her victims are the sinister drift of beauty approaching the opposite pole of her, or of the light just before being devoured by the shadows...

That's why sometimes everything breaks down and the gardener stops being the patient type in search of the explosion of beauty.

Maya is a survivor of the garden and now she has to narrate to the FBI agents the horrors she lived through when she was kidnapped, along with other very young girls, by a serial killer.
