Salzburg police come across a murdered woman with GPS coordinates crudely tattooed on her feet, and quickly find themselves in a cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer in Ursula Archer's Five.
Archer's thriller is interesting in multiple ways. First, it takes place in Austria, whose literature and geography I am not too familiar with; secondly it involves Geocaching, where hobbyists search for caches based on GPS clues; and thirdly the main detective--going through a painful divorce, and hiding a previous trauma--is an interesting main character.
Five is a speedy read, with lots of interesting elements. Its downsides--unusually grisly murders, and the whiff of an unlikely romance--do not detract much from the whole.
I borrowed this from the Morrisson-Reeves Library in Richmond Indiana and read it quickly.
