APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Austrian writer Bernhard Aichner’s crime novel—the first part of a trilogy—captivated us from page one with a thrillingly original storyline and prose that makes every scene burst to life. Blum, a female mortician, finds her world turned upside down when her wonderful husband is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Determined to track down the perpetrators, Blum launches an investigation that quickly turns dangerous. Aichner’s sympathetic and profoundly relatable protagonist has won our allegiance—we can’t wait to see what tense, clever mystery she’s involved in next.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Austrian author Aichner makes his English-language debut with a tense thriller, the first in a trilogy. Br nhilde Blum, a 24-year-old undertaker in Innsbruck, couldn't be happier. She has a thriving business, a husband she loves, and two little girls she adores. Then a large black car fatally strikes her police officer husband, Mark, who's just left for work on his motorcycle, and speeds away. Paralyzed with grief, Blum knows she must be strong for her girls, but that grief is refocused when she discovers evidence that indicates Mark's death was no accident and that the people responsible are among the vilest of men. Blum is all too familiar with the evil that men do, and she's not afraid to use every tool at her disposal to take down Mark's killers. Not for the faint of heart, this thoroughly satisfying novel explores how far a person will go for love.
