Was für ein seltsames Buch. Es ist mein zweiter Versuch mit einem Buch dieses Autoren, und es hat mich so gar nicht überzeugen wollen. Eine sehr unglaubwürdige Geschichte mit unrealistischen Handlungen und Charakteren die praktisch alle drei Kapitel ihre Persönlichkeit wechseln. Ab einem bestimmten Punkt springt die Handlung von Plottwist zu Plottwist, und es wird mit jedem Male lächerlicher. Man sollte es nicht übertreiben mit den Plottwists, nimmt der Geschichte irgendwie jegliche Spannung. Das Ende fühlte sich für mich an wie an den Haaren herbeigezogen, als ob Fitzek am Anfang der Geschichte nicht einmal selbst wusste, wie es enden sollte. Die Idee hinter dem Buch fand ich sehr interessant, Teile der Handlung haben mich aber und zu fesseln können. Vor daher 2 von 5 Sternen.

Not Fitzek's best but still very vwry good. Would recommend but I still would encourage you to buy a different book of his just because they're so so good. Still, I couldn't in good conscience rate it any less. It is very captivating.

Could've used more character development and action. For a thriller there was surprisingly little action in the plane, most of the more intense scenes happened on the ground to different characters besides the Protagonist. There was so much potential for tense scenes in the plane but most of the tension in the plane came from the protags interactions with another character. 

One of the bad guys, Franz, was really interesting and his motive was unique. I almost wished this whole book had centered around him and Nele instead. The plane plot almost felt like a side plot to Nele's story.
