About this listen

International bestselling author Mandy Robotham returns with a brand new tale set in war-torn Germany.

The war is over. But there are still secrets to be found amidst the ashes . . .

Hamburg, 1946

The war is over, and Germany is in ruins. Posted to an Allied-run Hamburg, reporter Georgie Young returns to the country she fled seven years prior – at the onset of the conflict – to find it unrecognisable.

Amongst the stark horrors of a bombed-out city crumbling under the weight of millions of displaced souls, she discovers pockets of warmth: a violinist playing amidst the wreckage, couples dancing in the streets, and a nation trying to make amends.

Joining forces with local detective Harri Schroder to catch a killer targeting women on the city’s streets, curiosity draws Georgie deep into the dark underbelly, and she soon discovers that some secrets of war did not die with Hitler…

The next gripping and heart-wrenching historical fiction novel from international bestseller, Mandy Robotham.

Just couldn’t put it down. So interesting to see Germany after the war. Love the story.

Exciting

Thought this was generally a very good novel, with lots of things to further research. Certainly food for thought. The trials and tribulations of people in post war Hamburg were sensitively handled, so much so that I forgot I’d started to read this as a crime novel. The final outcome for the killer was a little disappointing and not particularly well explored or explained however I did still find the book both interesting and enjoyable.

However, why did the narrator persist in saying Navvy when NAAFI is pronounced with a soft F? Similarly her pronunciation of Harry as HAAREE was irritating. It was almost as if she forgot she was narrating this from an English journalist’s point of view and kept reading in her German characters voices.

Interesting to see how postwar Germany was rebuilt
