Rating: 2/5

I was really excited by the premise of this book: an author who witnessed her sister’s murder writes a book to trap the murderer. Once I started reading, I discovered the actual book’s writing to be clunky, and the interjections of the book the main character were distracting and even worse. I’m not sure if it was a translation problem, as the book was originally written in German, or if the book was just poorly written, but I couldn’t enjoy it.

Stars only have one means of telling us that they no longer exist: they stop shining.
