Many thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron Books for gifting me an ARC of the sophomore book by Romy Hausmann. This author's debut novel, Dear Child, was an absolute 5 star read for me; I'm giving this book 3.5 stars rounded up for the beautiful writing. Thanks for including me on the blog tour for this book!
Nadja was convicted of a crime when she was just a child. Out of jail now, she leads a quiet life with a job she likes and a new friend, Laura. When Laura asks Nadja's help in covering up a crime, things go very wrong.
That's enough information to hook you into this book and I loved that plot synopsis. The writing is again wonderful and very atmospheric. It's creepy because you see that things just aren't going to end well. My biggest issue was just that it was confusing - the timeline switched often, there were letters being written in between chapters that didn't seem to fit in while reading, and I had issues keeping up with the characters. Don't let that discourage you though - Romy Hausmann is such a gifted writer that I kept reading and loved the twists and turns, cat and mouse games within this book.
