An excellent melodrama that investigates the psyche of a compulsive killer who tries to restrain his urges. Well crafted with believable characters. Descriptions of the railway and its environs are stunning and atmospheric. Zola personally visited similar places and this shows in the realistic detail- both sights and sounds. A great,clear reading.
