Ein tolles Buch und eine sagenhafte Sprecherin. Die Figuren sind gnz entzückend und werden durch die grandiose Leistung der Vorleserin zu ganz eigenem Leben erweckt. Herrlich.

I am completely neutral about this book. I don't hate it, but I'm not absolutely sure that I like it, My problem is that I just couldn't care about the characters in the book, and as this is a murder mystery that is important. The setting did feel authentic though.
