“What makes me shiver at night is the fear I might get too complacent of laziness, hence imprinted in the present.” This book follows Special Detective Kenneth Johansen through poignant moments in his life. The book is told through the lens of a narrator, telling us what happens as the story unfolds and Kenneth attempts to unravel a case that also has him looking into his own psyche at the same time.
This was a bit harder to read, the narration writing style isn’t my favorite. Kenneth’s journey is not strictly linear as it only covers highlights in his life that influenced him the greatest on the journey. As such, it can feel a little disjointed. The story is not bad, it was simply a bit hard to get through for me.

Iris: A fleeting tale of love, murder, and betrayal by Chand Ghei is told differently than most novels. This crime novel discloses flashes of Special Detective Kenneth Johansens life. Some are not so glamorous, and some people don't like what he has become when he isn't closing cases. The weight of the world, his job, and his wife's death weigh heavily on him.
I found Iris: A fleeting tale of love, murder, and betrayal hard to follow as the author jumps from Kenneth's life at work, to rabbit trails of philosophies. He has to wonder if the death of his wife is tied to a high-profile case he is investigating. Things come to full circle when questions are answered.
