I Am Your Judge: A Novel (Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein)

Product Description

Police Detective Pia Kirchhoff is about to leave on her long-delayed honeymoon when she receives a phone call. An elderly woman has been shot and killed while walking her dog. A short while later another murder is committed and the modus operandi is eerily similar―a woman is killed by a bullet that smashes through her kitchen window…and in both cases the same weapon fired the shot. Two more murders follow in short order. None of the victims had enemies and no one knows why they were singled out. As fear of the Taunus Sniper grows among the local residents in the German mountains, the pressure rises on Detective Kirchhoff. She and her partner, Oliver von Bodenstein, search for a suspect who appears to murder at will, but as the investigation progresses, the police officers uncover a human tragedy.
Nele Neuhaus’ I Am Your Judge is tightly plotted and delivers surprise twists at every turn with a story that is ripped from the headlines.

Review

“Neuhaus combines an intense hunt for a serial killer with characters that readers will care about in her superior fourth mystery. Sections told from the killer’s vantage point ratchet up the suspense as he narrows in on his next target. Neuhaus does a superb job of portraying the search for a link between the dead women, and her willingness to let her characters make mistakes gives the plot even more plausibility.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“An exciting police procedural with many twists and turns that will keep readers wondering who the culprit is until the very end. The plot is exciting and the characters are well-written. If readers are new to the series, they will have no trouble keeping up with this thrilling mystery.” ―Fresh Fiction
