Two and a half stars.
This book was quite alright but not as good as "Die Therapie" by the same author. I'm glad it wasn't my first Fitzek book, I might not have picked up another one by him if I had listened to this one first.

The good thing about Fitzek is that his novels always seem to have those scary vibes that make me like awake in bed at night when I listen to his stories. I just like being scared by books. Furthermore I enjoy Fitzek's story twists that I sometimes expect but often don't.

I don't quite know why this book just wasn't as thrilling. Maybe the subject children porn is just off-putting and disgusting enough or maybe the story twists just weren't as interesting.

One last open question I have: How did Simon know about the last address? Did I miss something or was this knowledge supposed to be one last mysterious twist? After all everything else is completely solved in the end.

Another great Audible Original Drama. Sebastian Fitzek novels are very dark and this cast really brought it to life. It was a little weird at first to hear an all English cast with the book taking place in Germany but otherwise it was wonderful. You can't go wrong with anything that has Andy Serkis in it.

In der Mitte hatte mich das Buch wirklich gepackt um mich dann am Ende so loszulassen. Sehr schade

nicht das beste Buch von Fitzek, aber gewohnt spannend und mit Wendungen, die man nicht erwarten würde. klassischer Fitzek!
