Sapphir's Reviews > Ich bin unschuldig

What if you only want to go for a run, but unexpectedly come across a dead body – and are arrested for murder shortly after?
This is what happens to Gaby Mortimer, the main character in this well-written psychological thriller.
As a passably successful television presenter with a prosperous husband, their beloved little daughter and a big, luxurious house, she leads a life free from financial worries. But everything she had, everything she believes in is suddenly shaken when she’s suspected of having killed a young woman.
The storyline is told from the point of view of the first-person narrator, which means that the story is very personal. Everything we find out about Gaby’s life we learn from her own descriptions. And bit by bit, we realize that not everything is what it seems …
I don’t want to give away too much here. Suffice it to say every reader is in for several turns and big surprises.
Vivid language, thoughtful contemplations and psychological suspense, which makes you sympathize with the main character, make the book an exciting reading pleasure.
5 Stars.
