More from the same
Too many to count and don't want to give anything away. The different tones she use. The quiet way she speaks to get your attention. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The closeness of the sisters. The doggedness of the detective. Tough tough subject matter. But if you are in the mood for a head trip, listen to this book.

I loved the book! The narrator did a fantastic job. Her ability to convey so much emotion while reading the story was really spectacularly done. You can't help but be drawn in. I couldn't wait to be able to listen to more. I can't say I enjoyed this book because the subject matter is so sad and tragic and disturbing, but it was very well-written and plotted.
There are many themes here religion, nature vs nurture, guilt, etc and I am still trying to understand exactly what the author was trying to say. I think the main point is that people can let guilt consume them and steal all the joy from their lives and turn them into maniacal people who hurt and abuse those they love the most. Guilt can also cause your mind to obfuscate the truth of an event and twist it so that you lie to even yourself about what really happened, forcing you to live out a penance for you know not what.
Cora -- the ultimate unreliable narrator -- lived in that self-inflicted purgatory for 5 years until one seemingly innocuous trigger caused an event that brought everything crashing down and forced her to see the reality of what she had been hiding from herself. An event with which she can never come to terms.
Beautifully written and majestic in its tragedy. I absolutely loved this. It was well paced and really interesting. I was fascinated and needed to know how it ended. And the woman that read it did an excellent job.
Weißer Schnee, rotes Blut: Mörderisch gute Weihnachtsgeschichten by Andrea Maria Schenkel
Incredible well written, different and strange. Suspenssfull, twisred, and on top all ,entertaining Would love to read more from this author. I listened to this story in one day plus some of the night and cried for what a tortured soul the main character was burdened with. I loved listening to the twists and turns of the plot.
It's very well written and I couldn't shut off the audio book. Only reason I don't mind my two hour commute. Great story, lots of detail and twists and turns. I liked the fact that it was quite dark and narrator played the parts well, very much looking forward to the TV series! Petra Hammesfahr , John Brownjohn. Get it free with day trial.

No Reviews are Available. Anne Chaplet - Schneefieber: Hat mir gefallen, dieses Warten auf Clou, gut geschrieben.
Und so sehr auf was Neues gehofft habe! Die Story ist Teil aus "Du". Fitzek kann's auch kurz. Elisabeth Herrmann - Eisbrecher: Auch hier wartet man auf das ab einem gewissen Punkt absehbare Ende. Trotzdem okay, nur an anderer Stelle wohl besser platziert. Interessante Backgroundstory des Opfers - soweit, so sehr gut! Keine Ahnung, was das soll. Andrea Maria Schenkel - Lostag: Heinrich Steinfest - Mona: Hat mir von allen Storys hier am besten gefallen.
