Tremendous story, about a great "what if" scenario and how far someone will go to get something done, an ordinary person. Easy to relate to and a great nail biter of a story!

I'm not sure how to review this book, there are some good parts in it but overall its dull, the actual story is supposed to be about a family so called terrorised by their neighbour who lives in the basement flat below theirs, but this part of the book is almost hardly mentioned, its been written almost like a true story and the author Dirk Kurbjuweit does say at the beginning that its loosely based on his experience with a stalker and he has created a character, Randolph, to be the main person of the story, but the more I read the more it seemed to be about Randolph and how he is with his family and the main story was lost amongst it all, even the ending was a bit quick and glossed over, maybe if it has an edit, draw out the tension and lose the self indulgence parts and then you could be on to a winner.

I confess I was expecting a thrill packed read but instead this is an interesting read about the nature of fear. I found it pretty enjoyable and I would recommend it.

Written well, felt almost like an autobiography. Found it a little stilted in places but the characters were believable and I liked the twist towards the end and didn't see it coming.

Wel, this is definitely a thriller with a difference. From the outset we know the crime, the motive and the murderer........ so what's the catch? And how can it be so damn page turning despite all this!
A German architect is this books narrator. The fact it is a translation is clear. It is certainly a very different and unique tone of voice compared to the psych thriller genre staples that have been done to death now, if you'll excise the painful pun!
I'm not sure I loved, but I turned those pages, and am waiting for someone to discuss it with now! So for all those reasons it has to have been a good read!

Excellent book with great characters. Very well written. I would recommend this book.
