I've read the book in a very short time. It captivates you just as it did also Retribution and Last Witness previously. However, in a different way. It is much less brutal and a bit less exciting. It tells the story of a young woman whose life is marked by dire experience in their youth and catch up with them. Insofar as it sounds like a new version of Retribution, but you are mistaken. Completely different and in no way comparable. In both books is public prosecutors, both have had bad experiences and both are haunted by their past. However, the events are fundamentally different in their past and build the stories differently to. The book gives an insight and is perhaps also the understanding of mental illness and is, as it did, to understand and very well written, the other two books. One would like to cry again with the protagonist with and laugh with (these situations rarely happen). And also the other persons to be included in the usual notation that one knows their thoughts. Quotations between chapters decorate the book and for thought. All in all a very good book and worth reading and definitely a must for lovers of other Hoffman books. The end for me as a reader is not 100% satisfactory. It had about 100 pages can have more and can me with a better sense can read the last page. It was more the effect that it was shocked that it's the last page already and not everything is clear and not really satisfying for me as a justice-loving people. It gives hope for a sequel. Nevertheless, it makes the book in no way bad and I'm still very excited. Not every book needs a tragic end or a beaming happy ending. Here is the proof that there is an alternative. Conclusion: captivating, thought-provoking and you can not put it down simply, until you've read the last page and is sad that it's been read.
