The story revolves around lakes and the women connected to these lakes - whether they might be called monsters or heroes.
The are three storylines. The first one follows investigators going after war criminals who disappeared after the end of the war. The investigators are especially focused on Die Jägerin, the Huntress.
The second one is telling the story of female bombing pilots in Russia, called the night witches. The third is about a girl whose father remarries an Austrian woman, who is eager to start a new life in Boston. I'm sure you make the connection between who this Austrian woman might be and how the storylines will intertwine.
During the middle of the book, it started to get a little slow, I had to remind myself to keep reading. But the last 150 pages flew by in a second.
I also really appreciate the fact that the author provides insight into her research and differentiates facts from fiction.
