A daugter's devotion

The translation of the book is very confusing and hard to understand. The first half of the book jumps between past and present, making it difficult to follow.

However, the story itself is good. It's about Ann, whose father is accused of killing young girls and leaving red ribbons to show where he hid their bodies. Ann believes her father is innocent and is determined to prove it.

The idea behind the story is great, but the execution falls short. The confusing writing style makes it hard to get to know the characters. The ending is not very satisfying and left me disappointed.

Despite its flaws, I was still interested enough in the story to keep reading. There are plenty of suspenseful moments and things to look forward to.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Quercus Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this advance copy.
