Bath Haus A Thriller

"Bath Haus" starts with a kickstart. The reader follows Oliver into a gay bathhouse where he meets a handsome Scandinavian stranger. And this changes his life. He can't tell his life partner Nathan about what happened in the bathhouse and so Oliver has to tell more and more lies. Further, Oliver is a clean drug addict and is struggling to stay clean. It was a real exciting thriller and a page turner. Until the end I wanted to know who exactly would like to harm Oliver. A lot of (domestic) violence is told in this story, in a very detailed way. From time to time it triggered me a bit. Some content notes or trigger warnings would have been helpful. It is a fascinating cat and mouse games, with some unexpected twists in between. Als, the story dives deep into the characteristics of Nathan and Oliver's relationship. Nathan and Oliver told and experienced situations in total different ways and with different ambitions and goals. But if you look for likable characters, this might not be the right fit for you. Both Oliver and Nathan are not nice characters, they are morally grey. I did not sympathize with either of them. The longing of Oliver for tablets and meds for his addiction was described very intense. Even though I have no addiction, I could understand why Oliver was craving for strong meds. Especially in this difficult situation. I highly recommend this thriller.
