Kriminalroman. Efter et anonymt tip undersøger en kvindelig kriminalbetjent to tilsyneladende selvmord i en idyllisk nordtysk landsby. Det viser sig dog snart, at den hyggelige facade skjuler både had og misundelse. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

As "mysteries" go I'm not sure how satisfying this one may be to the fans of the genre. The crime that is being avenged is described in the beginning, we know before Block does what is going on, and we even know what is going to happen, since the perpetrator's POV is included in a few short chapters. But we don't find out who this is until the last and most characters aren't even named.
What I enjoyed the most is Block's character herself, her unapologetic independence, her "sick-to-deathness" with men and their shit (note, she still likes to get them in bed--on her terms), her solidarity with women, her uncommon-for-heroines age, physique and appreciation of it (how often does one read of a woman who calls herself "fat"--with pleasure? Looks in a mirror at her pudgy belly, liking it?) The notion that she's the (illegitimate) granddaughter of the Russian poet Aleksandr Blok is also charmingly out-there and provides occasion for much quoting of poetry.
Go Gercke! (
