Everything Ends Here reviewed

A jury of Germany’s top crime fiction book critics has selected Everything Ends Here as one of Germany’s top 10 crime novels for March and April. And now Germany’s second largest newspaper has reviewed it. Here’s a translation of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) summary (using the translation tool in Word):

If “everything ends here” reverberates longer than most, it’s due to Zeltserman’s cleverness to stay precise and do without an action spectacle. Until the end, Dan tries to analyze his situation “as if I were solving a problem with software: systematically and with a cool head.” He hardly lends himself as a figure of identification, nor as a victim. Rather, one follows his goings-on with bewilderment: a Faust that is no match for his Mephisto.
