I loved Marc Raabe's previous 2 thrillers and Home Sick lived up to all my expectations.
The plot is intriguing (the reader doesn't really understand what is going on until quite a way into the book when it starts to make sense) and the suspense is kept up right until the very end.
The main setting is a children's home/boarding school in Southern Germany and the story is about a group of students in the 1980s (print in italics) and the same group of people in 2013. The main character Jesse is a paediatrician. When his wife is found murdered and his daughter is kidnapped, a message 'You Don't Deserve Her' is left which leads him back into a past which he cannot remember due to an accident he had at the age of 13.
I would have awarded this book 5 stars if it weren't for the numerous typos which distracted me and spoilt my enjoyment of the book slightly.
