In 1920, an entire family was murdered in a remote hamlet in Bavaria. The case remained unsolved, serving as the backdrop for this gripping novel by Andrea Maria Schenkel. Using a polyphonic structure reminiscent of Truman Capote's style, the author explores the tensions, grudges, and secrets of a rural community marked by religious devotion and hardship. This crime novel, steeped in a heavy and unsettling atmosphere, plunges the reader into the heart of rural Germany, where greed for the Tannöd farm leads to tragedy. Through the voices of witnesses and a lingering sense of unease, the work offers a striking psychological dive into the depths of human hatred.
