THE MURDER FARM by Andrea Maria Schenkel
Publisher: Quercus
Published: 26 Dec 2008
A whole family has been murdered with a pickaxe. They were old Danner the farmer, an overbearing patriarch, his put-upon devoutly religious wife, and their daughter Barbara Spangler, whose husband Vincenz left her after fathering her daughter, Marianne. Also murdered was the Danners’ new maidservant, Marie, who was regarded as slightly simple. Despite the brutal nature of the killings and the small village where it has taken place, the police have no leads. Officially the crime is unsolved. And then a former resident returns home…
Comment:
This book combines several of my pet loves – Crime, Debut and Translation.
And from the reviews it’s a very worthy debut. Now if it was only available as an ebook!
