The Sinner by Petra Hammesfahr
1.0
This book felt like it took an eternity to finish. The heroine(if you want to call her that) is insufferable and lies so much with every breath that you can't tell what's true or not and you just want to smack her and get her to tell the truth-doing that would've saved at least 1/3 of the book.
Cora is given the crappy childhood trope with a mom who is basically the German version of Margaret White and the dad is constantly fixated on having sex with his wife.
Overall, a real waste of time read.
PS:
If you don't want to have to slog through this, I'll spoil the beans on the crappy twist of the book:
Cora kills Frankie Frankenberg while on a public beach with her husband and son. Frankie turns out to be the person who killed her sister Magdalena (who had heart and organ defects) while having sex with her during a basement party while Cora was being raped by his two friends. When Cora fights back, one of the men hits her with an ashtray and fractured her skull. She was then held captive by Frankie and his parents for 6 months while Magdalena's body is dumped in the woods and her death covered up by Cora and Magdalena's family.
