Rezension von FelixSehr gutes Buch, das Ende wäre recht unerwartet gewesen, wenn ich davor nicht schon so viele Krimis gelesen. Was mir sehr gut gefallen hat war die Art des Schreibens. Genau so viele Details, dass man sich es gut vorstellen kann, aber nicht zu viele. Auch der Plottwist ( auch wenn ich ihn davor vorhersehbar gennant habe) war gut ausgearbeitet Kleinen Abzug nur für die Angst von Charakteren loszulassen. Es stört mich, dass Charaktere oft (nicht nur in diesem Buch) für Tod erklärt werden dann am Ende aber nicht Tod sind.
