Review: Life After Death on the autobahn
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 19, 2014
The story takes place outside Munich, Germany near the Danube and along the autobahn.  A young girl is hit by a car, in the rain in the middle of the night.  What was she doing on the autobahn in a glittering dress in the middle of the night?  No one else was around!  Her death and her identity seem to affect the lives of many of the characters.The heroine is a middle age female police homicide detective. There is much ado about her personal life as well as her obsession on solving the mystery surrounding the death of the young girl. There are many colorful, not always likable, characters to keep track of.  Infidelity runs amuck.The story jumps around from place to place and character to character.  I found it to be a bit disconnected with an okay plot but a bit complicated at times.  I would describe this book as being slightly suspenseful, but definitely not a thriller.I found it a bit boring at times and I trudged through parts of it because I wanted to know what happened to the detective’s elusive son, Ben. The story starts off with lots of descriptive imagery and page turning scenes; however, I found the ending to be a bit incomplete.
