De hele tijd heb ik met het gevoel gezeten dat ik het wel een goed boek vond, maar dat ik er niet bijzonder enthousiast van werd. Toch heeft het einde mij weten te verrassen en vandaar die halve ster extra!

Meh. Maybe even double meh.

This is less a mystery/thriller and more a book about the detectives, villains, and victims involved in a pair of cases – one old and one present. The book also includes thoughtful themes about justice and how the sins of the past can affect the future in unpredictable ways.
