4.0

a nice thriller by my favourite austrian author which i enjoyed pretty much. i liked carolin as main character and the story was interesting and thrilling and it took me ages to put two and two together to find out who was involved in all the murders. i would have like to get to know more of caro's past and find out more about who she was before she became carolin. i hated robert, what a f***ing prick! the ending was a bit anticlimactic but i really want to read another story involving caro. and another thing: the title of the book still doesn't make sense to me, which kind of annoys me more than it probably should.

 (mein schwaches Deutsch voraus)
Wahrscheinlich das schwächste Buch, das ich von Ursula Poznanski gelesen habe. Auch wenn die Angst und Paranoia der Hauptfigur Carolin toll geschrieben ist, ist sie keine Figur, über die ich lesen möchte. Die Geschichte war für mich auch nicht interessant und ist definitiv nicht mit der Serie um Beatrice Kaspary zu vergleichen. Wahrscheinlich werde ich das zweite Buch lesen, aber ich bin nicht darauf versessen, es in die Hand zu nehmen.

Ich habe mich auch über den Trugschluss geärgert, dass blinde Menschen Gesichter berühren, um andere zu erkennen, denn das ist einfach falsch.
