Engrossing book with a suspenseful, chilling plot. Based on the actual 1922 Hinterkaifeck family murder in Germany. Spare and efficient writing -not a wasted word. You knew the characters; you are worried and dismayed for them. I felt a delicious dread turning each page as the plot slowly built to its inevitable horror. The ending shows us a believable and satisfying perpetrator. Loved it. Great read.
