Once when Benet was about fourteen she and her mother had been alone in a train carriage – and Mopsa had tried to stab her with a carving knife. It was some time since Benet had seen her mad mother. So when Mopsa arrived at the airport looking drab and colourless in a dowdy grey suit, Benet tried not to hate her. But then the tragic death of a child begins a chain of deception, kidnap and murder.

I'm registering this one for the "BookCrossing Convention Race to a Million" Challenge, book #138.

8 out of 10

And I´ve read this a long time ago, but forgot to journal due to the chaos of moving. The tree of hands -asking and giving- is one of those crime stories that stay with you - a very good read!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

The tree is made of metal and its lowest branch is a hand. So I shook the hand of the tree, hung the book in a transparent bag from the hand, took out my camera and found out that the batteries were dead.
