Summary

On 11th February you will kill a man called Arthur Grimm. Of your own free will. And for a good reason.

Norah has just moved from Berlin to Vienna in order to leave her old life behind her for good when a homeless woman spits these words at her. Norah is unnerved: many years earlier, something terrible happened to her on 11th February. She shrugs this off as a mere coincidence, however, until shortly afterwards she meets a man called Arthur Grimm.

Soon Norah begins to have a dreadful suspicion: does she have a good reason to take revenge on Grimm? What really happened in the worst night of her life all those years ago? And can Norah make sure that justice is done without herself committing murder?

Melanie Raabe grew up in Thuringia, Germany, and attended the Ruhr University Bochum, where she specialised in media studies and literature. After graduating, she moved to Cologne to work as a journalist by day and secretly write books by night. Her two previous novels, The Trap and The Stranger, are international best sellers.

Hackneyed and clichéd

Very disappointing story line and truly abysmal dialogue. On a positive note, the Vienna setting was lovely.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
