Once again, Asaf is suspected of murder, but he’s soon released when the victim’s wife, Lihi, is arrested. Nathalie, now engaged to Asaf, is certain of Lihi’s innocence, and is determined to find the real murderer.
As Nathalie, Asaf and friends stumble along the path to achieving their goal, with a little inspiration from Moli̬re, Hillel and Adenauer, they discover new places in Jerusalem and also venture west and north. Despite experiencing fear, sadness and other painful emotions, they never lose their sense of humour Рand find that sharing their worries helps them pull through.
While some questions are answered on the way, new ones take their place. But what about the original question: Who killed Ofir? And how much is Nathalie willing to put at risk in order to solve this mystery? Her relationship? Her life?
Review
This is a gentle, character driven mystery rather than an on the edge of your seat thriller. However, that does not mean there is any less tension or the book is any less enjoyable. I loved every carefully crafted word and felt the main characters, Nathalie and Asaf were realistic and relatable. I warmed to them more and more as the story progressed and wanted to know what happened to them. Asaf's anxiety and fear is particularly well written, ensuring he is a well rounded 3D character. The mystery itself, although gentle, kept me reading and the surprises kept coming. This is a book I would highly recommend if you like well written literary mysteries.

I was given an ARC of this book from Reading Between the Lines Book Tours. At no pint was I asked to provide a positive review and my review is based on my reading and enjoyment of the book.
That's it for another day my bookaholic friends. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
