Rezensionen für Zeugin der Toten

[ameise1 · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

By chance I came across this author and I will definitely read more of her.The story grabbed me from the first moment. It is about identities, the processing of the GDR Stasizeit, but also the links of the various current secret services. A young woman comes by chance by the 'Cleanup' of a murder behind her own history and realizes that she must uncover her past, so that she can lead a 'normal' life in the future. Whom can she trust? Who are her opponents? What hedges does she need to have a future? This story is very captivating. I can recommend it warmly.

In a narrative that moves between the present day and East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Elisabeth Herrmann has created a fascinating character. Judith Kepler has many hidden depths, and she continues to surprise readers as the story progresses. In addition, a question is raised that's tangential to the plot; nevertheless, it made me wonder why I'd never thought about it before. What happens when spies and other covert operatives get old? Despite the questions raised and the strength of Judith's character, the pace of this book is glacial-- which could have been fixed by tightening the story (to the tune of about one hundred pages). If you're in the mood for a multi-faceted main character in an extremely slow-moving story, The Cleaner could very well be the perfect book for you.
