It sounded like an old-fashioned radio program. Interesting and suspenseful.

Ich mochte dieses Buch sehr gerne. Wie so ziemlich jeder Fitzek beinhaltet er absolute Spannung und ich bin einfach nicht auf die Lösung gekommen.

Started out good, I enjoyed the first half. After that the story went all over the place, and the whole thing tied up a little too nicely in the end in my opinion.
Wonderful audio production though - excellent narration.

Really good dramatisation, though towards the end I lost track of a couple of threads.

In einer Berliner Radiostation werden Geiseln genommen. Der Täter fordert seine Verlobte zu sehen, aber die ist vor Monaten bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommen. Die Kriminalpsychologin Ira führt die Verhandlungen und ganz Berlin hört über das Radio mit.
Ich fand die ersten 100 Seiten eher langweilig, dann aber nahm das Buch nicht nur an Tempo auf sondern auch die eine oder andere Wendung, was im Großen und Ganzen für die Langeweile zu Beginn entschädigte.

Another book by Sebastian that I've really enjoyed - as per usual there were twists and turns galore. I was constantly trying to stay ahead by guessing who could be lying and what might happen next.
The premise was great and I really enjoyed learning more about Jan and Ira alongside seeing their relationship develop through the calls. There were quite a lot of characters but it was easy to keep track of them as the writing was clear. Learning who to trust was a challenge as I suspected them all at some point or another, but that's all part of the fun.
I am so angry with Kitty, like furious - and am baffled by a certain reaction in the latter part of the book. That was the main thing I struggled to believe. I also found sections near the end seemed rushed - most likely because there was a lot happening. I could have read another 100 pages to slow that down and delve deeper into it.
I'm definitely a Sebastian Fitzek fan now, and hope all his works get translated into English. His stories have so much going on, it's just one giant puzzle to solve before the ending is revealed.
