Meine Meinung:
Ein Buch, welches sich mal wieder sehr schön und flüssig liesst, mit durchweg tollen Charakteren. Nur mir persönlich hat was gefehlt, ich hatte mehr erwartet. Es macht Spaß das Buch zu lesen, aber ehrlich gesagt kam an keiner stelle wirklich spannung auf, keine unerwarteten Wendungen, gar nix.

So great to read a well written book that travels through parts of New Zealand that I know well. A must read for any Wanaka local, or NZ fiction fan.
A fast paced read. The first scene of the child going missing at a picnic made me feel sick.
Loved that it was based in NZ.
A very enjoyable read
