Summary

The landline rings as Agneta is waving off her grandchildren. Just one word comes out of the receiver: 'Geiger'. For decades, Agneta has always known that this moment would come, but she is shaken. She knows what it means.

Retrieving her weapon from its hiding place, she attaches the silencer and creeps up behind her husband before pressing the barrel to his temple.

Then she squeezes the trigger and disappears - leaving behind her wallet and keys.

The extraordinary murder is not Sara Nowak's case. But she was once close to those affected and, defying regulations, she joins the investigation. What Sara doesn't know is that the mysterious codeword is just the first piece in the puzzle of an intricate and devastating plot 50 years in the making.

Great read

Gripping, well written and well narrated. A mixture of suspense and history. A great read.

Boring, patronising, overbearing, and full of social commentary

The title says it all; I literally couldn’t stay awake listening to this. The story starts well with great pace and descends into a slow moving, navel gazing, social commentary. It’s excessive virtue signalling and unnecessary filler in what could be a good story.

Complicated thriller

Too many characters and a complicated plot with many threads make this hard to follow. I didn’t feel engaged with any of the characters.
