We find the story of Will, a sarcastic man whose brilliance is and should be recognized, even tho he doesn't seem to feel like doing so himself. He goes back to his childhood village urged by his father and gets involved in a murder investigation of a serial killer who is apparently a big fan of the Grimm Brother's fairytales, where besides experiencing some traumatic events, gets to know himself better and makes so friends along the way.
This first novel of the author is a work worth 5 stars and if I could give it a higher rating, I would.
