Publisher's summary

A gripping thriller with a dark secret at its heart.

Pools of blood, scenes of carnage, signs of agonising death - who deals with the aftermath of violence once the bodies have been taken away? Judith Kepler has seen it all. She is a crime-scene specialist. She turns crime scenes back into habitable spaces. She is a cleaner. It is at the home of a woman who has been brutally murdered that she is suddenly confronted with her own past. The murder victim knew Judith's secret: as a child Judith was sent to an orphanage under mysterious circumstances - parentage unknown. And the East German secret police were always there, in the background...When Judith begins to ask questions, she becomes the target of some powerful enemies. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Great Thriller

I fell in love with the main character’s gritty toughness. Judith is fascinating and the premise of the story is enthralling. Following Judith through her search for the truth is emotional and riveting. Because it is set in Germany it can be a little confusing to follow. It has a complex narrative so I had to re-listen to parts. I also had to research some of the history to understand some basics. Don’t let that scare you away though. It’s absolutely worth it. I’ve ordered it in paperback and plan to reread it. It’s that good. As alway, Imogen Church soothes and lulls you away from reality. Listening to her voice is escapism for me.
