A short story about a serial killer, taking one young woman a year. Once her two sisters have been taken, Verena complains that people are just accepting the disappearance of the girls, and nobody is doing anything about it.
Soon she is drawn into the story herself...
So much more and it is spoilers, but as others have put this in spoilers too, I guess I had better: This is a retelling of the Bluebeard fairytale.
It is a pretty good, quick read. Three stars.
