I don't really know how to feel about this book tbh. I like Charlotte Link's writing and it was engaging and suspenseful otherwise I wouldn't have gotten through the 640 pages in that time but the story could've taken half the pages hadn't we had two different books in one. Yeah it was somewhat a reflection of how the case showed itself but less could still have been successful. I don't like long books for the sake of being a long book. It's supposed to fit the story and the story itself wasn't that big if you ask me. I was pretty sure that Neil/Denis didn't have anything to do with the murders quite early on (didn't make any sense to me how he handled it but that doesn't make him the killer) also had the feeling that Jane was involved about 200-150 pages before the end. First didn't want it to be true but then I was quite sure and also had a feeling about the how but it took ages from then on till the story was told. Felt that could've been a much faster read.

But nonetheless I liked reading the book and I still like Charlotte Link's stories but yeah why not speed it up..? 😅
