The two women make for a remote house in the woods, the perfect place to bury a body. But their plan quickly falls apart and Nadja finds herself outplayed, a pawn in a bizarre game in which she is both the perfect victim and the perfect murderer . . .

First of all, thank you Joe Christie, Quercus and Romy Hausmann for giving me a privilege to be a part of the blog tour.

Nadja Kulka was convicted of a crime and has been in prison for a long time. So after being released from the prison, all Nadja wants is to live a normal life with a nice flat, steady job and friends. But when one of her friends Laura asks Nadja’s help to bury a body, who happened to be the lover of Laura by going to a remote place for burial, soon, get embroiled into a tangle when the plan falls and Nadja was being used as a pawn in a game where she is both a perfect victim and a murderer.

I have not read her books before but I have read reviews from her previous books which actually prompted me to try out the book. And the plot line of the story sounds interesting as well. The book despite the fact that it had twists and turns, was a bit slow paced and a bit confusing and complicated so you have to read this book with full attention to it. Nonetheless, it is packed with suspense, chill and scary at times that would make a perfect psychological thriller! Characters in the book are a bit complex particularly the main character Nadja and there are different storylines and timeless but then I was so hooked into the story. The book covers many different dark topics that actually left you questions about yourself.

Overall, the book is packed with suspense and chill that will keep you at the edge of the seat which is the perfect combination of a good psychological thriller–worth five stars!
