BERLIN 2019.
A young writer is brutally attacked in her home and left for dead.

My Review:
I have to admit that this book wasn’t at all what I was expecting when I started- in a good way obviously. This book was much more heart wrenching, powerful and hard hitting then I thought it would it be.
Firstly this book deals with the difficult subject of grief which I thought was very cleverly described by the author. I’m guessing that she has experienced it in real life as the scenes were so accurately described that they were incredibly powerful and emotional to read about. I felt like I was living everything through Nina which made for quite difficult reading at times. I really felt for Nina and everything that she was going through.
The plot unfolds slowly and there was always something happening to keep my interest. The murder mystery side of the story was very absorbing, especially as I felt so involved in the events. The characters and story were beautifully written and they have stayed with me long after I’ve finished reading.
Huge thanks to Kelly from Love Book Tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
