The whole time I was reading this I thought I'd probably give it 3 stars, maybe less if the ending was bad but now that it's over I have to give it 4 and recommend it.

I will start with that I actually thought the story was wrapping up 3 times, but then checked the percentage and realised I was way off. I saw the first episode and they're already taking some of the overly harsh German personalities out of it which is great. I probably would have liked this even more if I didn't watch the show when it first came out because I already knew how it was going to end. The Sinner is of a society very different from ours, their rules extremely barbarous: it's eat, kill, fuck, sleep, of course people growing in that society has no problem adapting to it. Likewise, in true thriller fashion, there’s also a fairly good mixture of small-scale and large-scale drama too.Yeah, the translation may have been rough sometimes but if you're going to read a German author you're gonna have to accept that before going in. This is a top-notch study of psychological trauma and faith, revealing that just as blind faith can destroy, faith in the fundamental goodness in people can save. At first, I thought it was poor writing that Cora sounded like a child in her flashbacks and in her adult conversations but as I got a better grasp of the timeline I realized it was intentional.

Birmingham traces the evolution of Crime and Punishment through Dostoevsky’s notebooks, offering a thrilling glimpse of the creative faculties at work as he tweaks dialogue, defers the resolution of Raskolnikov’s motivations, and adds in unexpected twists. Police Man "breaking through her wall" to get her to talk but they way I read, it seemed like she just blurted stuff out and he didn't prob her much at all. I feel a bit hesitant about watching the TV series now as this novel overall just didn’t work for me. Beneath its layers of startling insight into the souls of its characters, and the richly wrought depiction of the everyday war between good and evil, beats the unstoppable heart of an irresistible thriller. As long-buried secrets come to light, Maura Isles finds herself drawn inexorably toward the heart of an investigation that strikes closer and closer to home—and toward a dawning revelation about the killer’s identity too shattering to consider.There are no witnesses, the press is starting to become interested in the case and, worst of all, Isles’ ex-husband has recently arrived in town and wants to meet up with her. for a change, but past that I don't think it needed nearly half of the book to show that she had a rough childhood and a traumatic experience to cause her to kill a man in cold blood. Equally, because the narrative concludes with Dostoevsky’s marriage to his second wife, Anna, we miss the final 13 years.

After that I started to lose interest in the book as it flips between Cora as a child and Cora lying through her teeth to the detective often without clear breaks. Abuse, greed, deceit, betrayal mixed to create a foreboding, sinister feeling throughout alongside the rules and consequences of the Elite society.The beginning of this story finds us meeting Cora bender a young woman in a claustrophobic marriage who is starting to exhibit strange behaviours particularly around her husband. The novel set Russian society ablaze on publication, with reviewers recognising it as a work of “unrivalled importance” written “with a truthfulness that shakes the soul”. Cora is constantly changing her story, so things are not making a lot of sense throughout the read, although you are able to grasp the consistent theme in her ramblings that link to the truth. anyways, elli's mom (aka bitch) is a sex therapist (unrelated, just like the university they are supposed to be attending), and as a result elli thinks she's fucked up in the head because she was groomed and has fucked up kinks. In addition to lots of small plot twists, tantalising clues and a fairly fast-paced writing style, this novel also includes a few moments of suspense and horror to keep the reader on their toes too.
