Meanwhile, an anonymous diary is unearthed depicting the incidents of a two-week holiday in France five years earlier, and it doesn’t take Barbarotti long to realize the people populating the diary are the ones whose lives are now in the balance....

Another good detective from Nesser, I can't wait for the next one! Martin Wenner excels as the narrator!

a meandering story
I almost gave up on this book several times. it is well read but the story is so complicated and not in a good way. By the end I was none the wiser about who killed whom and why

Drawn out
Good story but drawn out. If it hadn't been on audible I would have given up before the end.
