    Wow - „Remember, it‘s not about the money, it‘s about the Chain“⛓️‍

    Der wohl beste Thriller überhaupt Es fängt sofort bei 100 an, es gab keine Sekunde Langeweile beim Lesen. Der Autor hat einen super bildlichen Schreibstil, auch der clevere Perspektivwechsel hat mir sehr gefallen☺️ Man merkt dass hier Recherche drinnen steckt, gerade wenn es um das Thema Trauma geht. Man fühlt richtig mit, ab und zu wird es traurig und dann ganz plötzlich nimmt es wieder diese düstere Atmosphäre an.⛓️‍ Suspense pur, gerade wenn es um Kinder geht hat es mich immer „on the edge of the seat“ Keine riesigen Plottwists (nur einer) aber eine grandiose Storyline. Dieses Buch hat mich aus einer riesigen Leseflaute geholt Fazit: wenn ich Kinder kriege werde ich Airtags in die Schuhe stecken‍↕️

    krasse storyline.

    Der erste Teil des Buches habe ich in 2 Tagen durchgelesen. Ich konnte das Buch einfach nicht aus der Hand legen. Es war SO spannend und ich hatte noch nie etwas in dieser Richtung gelesen. Beim zweiten Teil muss man zu Beginn ein wenig durchbeissen mit aktiv weiterlesen aber es lohnt sich. Die letzten Kaptitel sind eine grosse Wundertüte. Kann das Buch jedem empfehlen!!

    This thriller was my salvation…

    This thriller was my salvation: my flight back from Barcelona was delayed by two and a half hours, the travel reading I had brought with me had long since been read and "The Chain" was the only English-language book in the bookshop at the airport that interested me. And it fulfilled the purpose for which I had bought it perfectly, namely to bridge the waiting time. No more, but also no less. The plot implements an original idea and, after a few initial lulls, is quite exciting. The language is characterised by short, simple sentences, which suited me as a non-native speaker. I had entertaining hours with this novel. However, one should not be too demanding, because the characters are quite stereotypical and the plot is not very credible. In any case, I have my doubts about a cancer-stricken philosophy lecturer turning into an unerring sniper to save her teenage daughter. There are rows of child abductions, a policeman is shot dead in the street, but none of this puts the kidnappers - who had no previous criminal experience - in any difficulty. Nor is any development of the characters apparent. But well, my appetite for reading doesn't always have to be satisfied with starred literary cuisine, in this case it was just rather average fast food.

    "It's not about the money, it's all about the chain"

    The first half of this book terrified me. I was so scared for the children. Reading about to what lenghts a mother will go for her child is on the one hand extremely empowering, yet on the iother hand my heart was beating so fast because of all the things Rachel was doing and comitting to while fighting cancer. To be honest, the first part was good but not extraordinary. I had no idea how they could drag a book so long and was a bit worried that the end would turn out predicatble and unsatisfying. However, the second part of the book really got me. Once it clicked in my head who ran the chain, everything started falling into place. This was a really great thriller and the ending was really good!
