Really enjoyed reading this for my German class, but the end was lowkey dissapointing!! The history and the story that was told was great though.

The only criticism from me is that it felt just a bit too short. The story was fast paced with enough characterisation to get you through. Nicely done.

Gutes Buch, mag vor allem die historische Verbindung zur fehlenden Aufarbeitung der Nazi Verbrechen. Großartig geschrieben, man will nicht aufhören wenn man einmal anfängt zu lesen.

Nach zwei Kurzgeschichtensammlungen nun ein Roman, und siehe da, Ferdinand von Schirach kann auch das. Wie vom Autor gewohnt: ein Kriminalfall, der durch die geschickte Erzählstruktur dafür sorgt, dass sich der Leser sowohl mit dem Anwalt-Ich-Erzähler und seinem Ringen um die Ethik seines Berufes als auch mit der titelgebenden Nebenfigur, dem Täter in einem brutalen, scheinbar aus heiterem Himmel kommenden Mord, identifiziert. Das alles erreicht durch klare Sprache ohne ein Wort zuviel. Bitte mehr davon!
