Reviews

Fans of Ruth Ware should love this creepy psychological suspense novel from one of Germany's hottest new crime authors. It drips with atmosphere and has a meandering plot that allows for plenty of reflection on the past ... Raabe is definitely on my watch list for future books.-- "Globe and Mail"
