Misfit Girl: Death of the Blue Flower
The bestselling mystery thriller of German Kindle#1-author Roxann Hill - translated by Paul Wagle.
The truth comes with a price - your life
“Nothing would ever be the same again. Death was now my constant companion.”
Working in an exclusive rehab clinic in Germany, ex-con Alicia Petersen does her job well enough to get through the day. Battered by life, she’s generally not one for conversation, escaping her dreary existence through daydreams of her childhood. These dreams and the friendship of Miriam Morgenroth, an elderly patient, are all that keep her going.
One day, Miriam disappears without a trace. But patients do walk away from rehab time and again, so no one suspects foul play—no one except Alicia. Determined to conduct her own search, she asks for help from a chemo-ravaged police detective, Chris Winkler.
From the Bavarian Alps to the northern German Coast, the two follow a bloody trail into a world of betrayal, revenge, and murder, with motives that reach far back into an appalling past. As Alicia and Chris grow closer, they soon discover that Miriam had many secrets—the sort that threaten the lives of those who attempt to bring them to light…
Can’t get enough?

Misfit girl by Roxann Hill and Paul Wagle, is a missing persons thriller, with some psycho hired killers , ruthless bankers, ww2 missing diamonds, girl with family issues and a grouchy detective all thrown in the mix.
The book starts with a shock factor which then moves on to the chapter 1 where our heroine is a half-heartedly working as an aide in a nursing home.
First the positives:
1. The translation from German to English is definitely seamless, i wouldn't have realized it if I didn't know!
2. This was a fun and fast read, I enjoyed moving from Munich, Hamburg, the Hallig and all over!
3. The author talks about The Hallig- North sea islands and Sea lavender with obvious love. I had no idea about this part of the world and it was very interesting to read about it.
4. There is definitely a thrill factor where you kinda know what has happened but you don't want to accept it.
The cons:
1. I unfortunately did not like any of the characters, I couldn't identify with any of them and how is it that there wasn't a single person in the book whom you call a good guy!
2. The hired killers were shown to be ruthless for no apparent reason.
3. The story had too much external factors and not enough for the main motive of the crime.
My biggest gripe was how can a guy who had recently undergone chemo and was in the nursing home be running around all over Germany, punching and killing people!! Folks who have undergone chemo can barely have the energy to walk; even months after the therapy they definitely don't have the energy to have physical altercations with 2 people and come out on top!
Overall it is definitely a fun and fast read, and I would read from the authors again.

Not my typical read so I was a bit nervous going into it, but ended up being a great story. I anticipated more blood, but thankfully those scenes read quickly! Was interesting to see how the story lines fit together. And a great twist at the end. I’ll be reading more!
