Exit by Belinda Bauer
4.0
Belinda Bauer’s latest novel is absolutely marvelous in every possible way.
Our main character Felix is seventy five years old, he lives in Devon with his dog Mabel. Apart from his dog he is pretty lonely, because first his beloved son and soon after his wife died due to unbearable terminal illnesses, that’s why he became an exiteer. Felix‘s duty as an exiteer is to support terminally ill clients passively, throughout their suicide by their own hands. No laws are being broken, until Amanda - a newbie exiteer assists him on one occasion. Eventually Felix has to face problems that he never anticipated.
I adored this cozy mystery so much, it is such a remarkable story, quite outstanding actually. I never read anything like this before, even though the plot seems utterly dark with the suffering people and the deaths, it is however heart-warming and uplifting the whole time.
You won’t be able to resist the fabolous writing and the lovely characters. The pull of this story is immense, you will be finished with this book in no time.
Furthermore you won’t be able to stop yourself from a giggle here and a chuckle there..
“There was a paperback book, open and face down, which almost made Felix have palpitations. He always used a bookmark and it pained him to see a book treated so shabbily - even a Clive Cussler.”
Thank you NetGalley / Grove Atlantic for providing me with this free e-arc, I‘m looking forward to read more of Belinda Bauer‘s books.
