Can a romance novel be written as a crime novel? Like an exciting detection game with that genre "whodunit" question? It certainly can, judging by the tools used by Drago Hedl in the construction of this brilliant novel.
If we speak in film terminology (and the new Hedl's confessional prose is an ideal template for a film or television medium), The Time of Sex in the Age of Innocence is a successful sequel of his first novel Lower Drava Coast. With his superb skill and sparkling creative enthusiasm, Hedl avoided all the pitfalls of notorious sequels, those created by mechanical producer whims, and not out of real authorial need.
Life is action and passion, which is why man is required to participate in the passion and action of his time, otherwise he runs the risk of being judged as if he had not lived.
Henrik Petterson no longer knows who or what to trust, and the line between the Game and real life has never been more fragile. Nevertheless, he is determined to uncover the truth behind the Game, no matter the consequences...
Although the title suggests horror or the supernatural, it is a crime story in which the mystery of the "revived dead" is ultimately explained by logic and human actions, not actual supernatural forces.
