Dead Woods. Maria C. Poets translated by: Maria Poglitsch
Bauer. 2015. [May] AmazonCrossing . 336 Pages. [Netgalley: Kindle edition]First sentence: The stupid cow. The slut. She does it with everyone.
Premise/Plot: From
Goodreads: The body of thirty-four-year-old
software developer Philip Birkner is found in the forest. Tracks at the scene
of the crime point to several possible killers. Lina Svenson and Max Berg of
the Hamburg
Homicide Division investigate and soon discover more than one dark secret in
the dead man’s past…
My thoughts: This was
my first go round with a German author and I was not disappointed! From the first page I was hooked. The
characters were very well developed and the story was well told. I love mysteries always have and always
will. This particular one had just
enough twists and turns to keep me going until the end. The hardest part for me was the names of
places and people; this is due of course to the fact that I don’t speak German
so it is no fault of the author. If foreign
names of places and people mess up the story for you then I would say you
probably won’t enjoy this book, but, however if like me you can just go with
the flow and enjoy a different world view then give this one a whirl I would be
surprised if you were disappointed!
Rating 8.5/10
Recommendation:
Mystery lovers should read this.
Fans of reading books set in foreign countries should definitely check
it out!
