There was a sort of “you’ll never guess it” twist but it felt earned, I really enjoyed this one :) No stone unturned and a lot of tension and suspicion going around the entire time.

Loved this, easy 5 stars, my ideal type of mystery-thriller.
I was skeptical during the first half because it was kind of slow, and I was convinced I knew where it was going. There is no action in the book btw, it's just police investigations, interviewing suspects, checking alibis. Which I love, but it might not appeal to everyone. I also didn't care for the characters that much at first and was rather removed from the story. But I loved the premise and I had a theory early on so I was intrigued enough to keep reading. And although the plot was slow/quiet, the reading went by very quickly. This is a very readable book.
What made it a 5 star was the last 50 pages or so. I went through all kinds of emotions then. I suddenly was attached to the characters and felt a lot of feelings. And then the author got me in the end. Ah, I was on the right path, but I didn't think about it enough. (This is not a whodunit, by the way, it's more like a howdunit.)
Now I want to read more in this series (especially since I'm now emotionally attached to the detectives) but... why aren't the first books translated yet?!?!? I mean, I guess you can read them out of order, which I will probably do... but my completionist brain is suffering.
