    Hat sich gezogen, trotz knapp etwas über 300 Seiten🫤

    In "THE PERFECT SON" wird Erikas Teenager-Sohn Liam beschuldigt die 16 jährige Olivia entführt und getötet zu haben. In seiner Kindheit verhielt er sich sehr auffällig, weshalb Erika von seiner Schuld überzeugt ist. Die Geschichte verlief schleppend, die Auflösung war ok, konnte mich aber nicht packen. 🫤 Das Buch war leicht zu lesen und gut verständlich (es war die englische Version).

    Klasse Buch

    Ein weiterer guter Thriller von Freida McFadden. Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und die Story einfach großartig. Ich hoffe, dass das Buch auch auf deutsch raus kommt, damit diejenigen, die kein Englisch sprechen, auch in den Genuss dieses Buches kommen.

Der Einstieg ist spannend, finde ich. Erika lässt uns mehrfach wissen, dass hinter der perfekten Fassade ihres Sohnes etwas lauert. Vielversprechend!
