This is a chilling thriller set in Germany which held my attention well throughout.
The story follows Jesse who having found his estranged wife murdered, and his daughter Isa kidnapped, goes on desperate search to find her which takes him back to the children's home where he was raised, which brings back lots of uncomfortable issues. The narrative switches between the past and present, which at some points is a little jarring. I also found that the translation into English at times felt a little unnatural, but generally this was an enjoyable book which held the attention throughout and had a few shocking twists. The main characters were all well developed, and believable, and I would happily read more works by this author.
