Publisher's summary

The thrilling next book in the internationally best-selling series that began with Snow White Must Die

On a hot June day the body of a 16-year-old girl washes up on a river bank outside of Frankfurt. She has been brutally murdered, but no one comes forward with any information as to her identity. Even weeks later, the local police have not been able to identify her. Then a new case comes in: a popular television reporter is attacked, raped, and locked in the trunk of her own car. She survives - barely - and is able to supply certain hints to the police having to do with her recent investigations into a child welfare organization and the potential uncovering of a child pornography ring with members from the highest echelon of society.

As the two cases collide, Inspectors Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein dig deep into the past and underneath the veneer of bourgeois society to come up against a terrible secret that is about to impact their personal lives as well. In Nele Neuhaus' second US publication of her enormously popular series, tensions run high, and a complex and unpredictable plot propels her characters forward at breakneck speed.

I want more of Nele Nelhaus!

Any additional comments?

This was a good second book. It definitely makes you want to trust no one with your children.

Another great addition

Nele Neuhaus had written another great addition to her Bodenstein & Kirchhoff series. Plenty of twists and turns to make the book unstoppable.

German crime thrillers coming on

This is my second Neuhaus and I enjoyed them both. In this one, the author was slow in the beginning, seemingly laying the groundwork for the eventual crime. I read in researching her that in her first book she edited out 400 pages so this must be a trend. I've also noticed that several of the northern European authors I've listened to seem to plod along setting the stage for the crime. Maybe it's a cultural thing? But when the author did get to the crime the story did get going and became a page turner. This book, like other European crime stories I've listened to, has a real dark side. I would expect that as Neuhaus gains experience she will become more succinct in her storytelling. The translation from German to English was pretty good as well and I liked the narrator.

Performance Helped Make Story

This is a creepy type crime. When children are involved it usually is more "dark". That said, I still marveled at the plotting. I could not figure out the "end" and that is important when you enjoy police procedure tells. I believe the tone the reader took helped enhance the dark aspect of the narrative.

Too Busy

This book was not as well written as Snow White. This story seemed to have too many small stories within it. It's hard enough keeping up with all the characters the author introduces, but then the characters from 3-4 smaller stories. Yes, they are all connected in the end but good grief.

Horrible reality - but great story!

Sad but great story - interesting characters!
Spell bounding - keeps you wanting to hear the ending - lots of twists and turns!

At the very top

This was definitely a very challenging book to listen to, no light listening. Excellently written, complex characters I even had to draw a mind map of who is who. Some surprises. An excellent audio very well narrated.

I like the story, I don't enjoy the fat phobia.

Just a reminder, someone's weight is not indicative of thier personality. And being fat should not be synonymous with ugly, lazy, gross, or mean. It totally takes me out of the story when I come across this.
