99.9% loved this book

The only issue I had with this book was  

the fact that the whole substory with Julia and Lisa was literally pointless   

 - other than that this book was brilliant. It was SO dark, every discovery was tear-worthy and anger provoking and I actually cannot really say I would ever recommend it to anyone because it broke my heart. 

That being said, if you’re looking for something that keeps your attention chapter from chapter and is brilliantly written, researched and executed, give it a try. I love discovering new authors and I’m surely going to be looking to pick up another novel from Fitzek, Germans most twisted author!
