Is it ethical to kill a killer? Does survival trump morals? Is there a difference between justice and consequence?
My interest was compelled during the beginning. The first hundred pages or so are great. The mystery is built up colorfully, but then begins to drift about halfway in. The style became routine and tiresome. I did not find myself aching to finish this story since the plot had hit a stalemate. But, I did…after taking breaks. However, overall I was left disappointed in this read.
The chapters alternate between Nina, Jordan, and Ian. Nina’s chapters are lengthy and require a lot of patience. Jordan and Ian’s chapters are more enjoyable.
The story revolves around finding a Nazi murderess. Over 95% of this novel is about after the war. It does not focus on the events in German, it’s occupied regions, or the crimes that were committed against the Jews and other sub-populations during the war; rather, it centers around the crimes of one female Nazi and the relationships of those who are looking for her. Because of this, the story lost it’s spice and the ending becomes predictable early on.
Please be aware–There is a lot of of sex and adult language in this book.
