A book that is hard to put down. Remarkably powerful language, precise description of characters and the suspense is almost palpable. A vicious and confusing plot in a wonderful island setting. Once again a mystery novel with a surprising end. This novel is also available in German "Das Geheimnis des Salzfelsens"- auch hier ein Buch das man ungern weglegt. Ausserordentliche Sprache, präzise Beschreibung der Personen und fast spürbare Spannung. Eine bösartige und verwirrende Handlung eingepackt in eine wunderbare Inselwelt. Wieder einmal ein Krimi mit einem überraschenden Ende.

Salt Rock Mysteries by M. Zschokke is a lovely read. Set in a tropical paradise marred by islandism and politics. Self discovery is the most potent theme and the protaganist is enlightened through her own involvement in relationship. A story on several levels, that peels back layer upon secret layer. recommended!
