READ IN DUTCH

I really enjoy reading Petra Hammesfahr's books. They have interesting stories. This book centres on Merkel, who after being released from prison decides to meet with his daughter (she wanted them to get in contact). Unfortunately she's just been murdered.



A very enjoyable read. I liked the story and the writing too. It's not very thrilling, but is nice anyway. I think it's a shame they stopped translating her books.

Matig aanloop. erg beschrijving. gedeelte in fabriekshal was wel spanning. Daarna weer een anticlimax. Jammer.
