Finished my next book by Fitzek and honestly I‘m not disappointed. Considering that this one was his debut novel is completely insane. Even his very first book was genius. This is such a good debut thriller with amazing plot twists that keep you on the edge all the way through. I really thought I had it all figured out but damn was I wrong. 

This book is about Victor who‘s a psychiatrist whos daughter goes missing. That‘s all you should know before starting this one, because the less you know the better. Again I read the german version but there‘s also an english version of this book. So please if you like thrillers with plot twists than give this one a try. Now I need to decide which Fitzek book I‘m going to read next. 

Trigger warnings: mental illness, animal death, animal cruelty, violence, child abuse and child death.

4.0

meiner meinung nach einer der besten fitzek bücher. das buch hat mich von der ersten seite an gefesselt und war wirklich spannend. 

gegen ende hin wurde jedoch ein bisschen zu lange darauf angespielt wie offensichtlich die lösung doch sei, sodass es sich irgendwann sehr gezogen hat. 

das ende war schlüssig und ein guter abschluss zur geschichte. 

guter thriller, hat mir echt spaß gemacht.
