Charlotte Link Das Andere Kind - Deine Meinung zu »Das andere Kind«
Steht die Ermordung Fionas damit im Zusammenhang? Hinweis: Wir behalten uns vor, Kommentare ohne Angabe von Gründen zu löschen. Es Attack On Titans leider viel zu wenig inhaltsreiche Filme. Seite Statt zu protestieren, bleibt Stan Gibson freundlich und souverän; offenbar amüsiert ihn das Katz-und-Maus-Spiel mit der Polizei. Kälte, Hass und letztlich reiner Sadismus haben für diesen kleinen Jungen das Leben zur Hölle gemacht - bis er ein alter Mann war. Das der Mord an Amy Mills nicht weiter vertieft wurde, war für mich total in Ordnung, ich brauchte keine weiteren Beweise, ich bin genau der gleichen Meinung wie Dritter Advent Bilder Inspektor Almond. Bin sehr enttäuscht. Das passt der vielbeschäftigten Ärztin aus London gut, da sie momentan in argen Differenzen mit ihrer Noch-Ehemann steckt. Der Mord an Amy in der Gegenwart der durch die Geschehnisse in der Vergangenheit beeinflusst wurde wurde meiner Meinung Mogens Von Gadow gut und ausgiebig behandelt. Über den Ausgang der Filme denke Margit Geissler jetzt noch nach.Der Roman hat ganz fraglos Schwächen: Erstens tut der fehlende Fokus auf einen echten Protagonisten dem Buch nicht gut. So wirklich hineinversetzen kann und mag man sich in keine der Personen, alle Charaktere bleiben blass und wirken wenig sympathisch — insbesondere die ermittelnde Polizistin, von der Autorin offenbar als Identifikationsfigur gedacht, ist denkbar blutleer.
Zweitens ist die Auflösung relativ unbefriedigend und unglaubwürdig. Und drittens weist die Konstruktion erhebliche Mängel auf: Die vielen Stellen etwa, an denen sich eine der Personen aus hanebüchenen Gründen entscheidet, nun doch nicht zur Polizei zu gehen, sind grotesk.
Dass bei so viel Kritik das Fazit dennoch positiv ausfällt, ist dem Können Charlotte Links zu verdanken. Die Autorin versteht es blendend, in einfacher Sprache subtile Spannung aufzubauen, falsche Fährten zu legen und dem Leser einen Einblick in die Abgründe der menschlichen Seele zu verschaffen.

Start your review of Das andere Kind. But I was much more annoyed by the subplot, and source of the title--it is presented as emails from one character to another about some horrible things they did in the s.
But since both the sender and receiver of the emails already know the story, there is no reason 1 for the emails to exist in the firs sorta spoilery OK, so - the main mystery is completely ridiculous, and the murderer is ridiculously easy to spot, since she is the only character whose thoughts Link doesn't give the reader.
But since both the sender and receiver of the emails already know the story, there is no reason 1 for the emails to exist in the first place, or 2 for them to provide sooo much exposition.
Link offers some half-hearted explanation about the sender needing to "get things off her chest" but it is pretty implausible.
Finally, a tiny detail that bugged the crap out of me: one of the main suspects' backstory involves her having given prescription tranquilizers to a student.
We're told that she has depression, but doesn't take meds frequently, just once a week or so. Two problems: 1 tranquilizers are literally the last thing you would want to take if you are depressed, since they are in fact depressants.
This is important because giving real anti-depressants to a student wouldn't do anything harmful or helpful for the student, unless they took them everyday.
Link could have made the character have anxiety, instead of depression, which would make the tranquilizers work, but that would have completely changed the nature of the character.
Quite readable up until a completely potted twist ending in which one character acts entirely unbelievably and another character has magically known everything all along with their "marked ability to empathise" except we aren't told anything about that until the last minute.

If you want it, get it from the library. I'd be interested to read Link's other books to see if the endings are any better, since she was quite good at characterization and setting, but this is apparently the first of her half-dozen?
Even if her other books were available in English, though, I don't think I'd buy one new after reading this. View 2 comments. Aww'd sadly when this Mystery Novel by Charlotte Link was over.
Learning about the lives of quirky, dysfunctional, misfits, made for an enjoyable listen. Spirited on by the talented narration of Davina Porter.
Had such a good time trying to guess Almost clean, except for some small bad words. Trade Paperback.
No progress is made in solving the crime before a second death which is a similar killing. But despite the similar MO the police struggle to find a connection between the two victims.
Ambitious detective Valerie Almond is convinced that the truth lies within the family of the second victim, but is in essence stabling in the dark, unaware of the dark secret that has been hidden for more than half a century.
Although the story is set in , the roots of the murder relate back to the evacuation of children from London to Scarborough in , a time when there were no computers to keep track of the movement of these children, just people trying to do there best to keep the children safe from being killed by German bombs.
The description of the children arriving in Yorkshire which to children brought up in London must have seemed like another planet was heart-rending, particularly that awful selection process by the families who were taking the children in — selecting the strongest and best looking children, which eventually left a number of children no one wanted, must have scarred many of them for life.
There are many strands to this multilayered story, full of dysfunctional but interesting characters.
Told from multiple points of view, this is a haunting tale of love, fear, cruelty and obsession. Compelling reading, 'The Other Child' is a story that will linger with you long after you have closed the last page of the book.
The story is about two murders. Amy Mills, a young student that was murdered when she returned home after her baby sitting duties and Fiona Barnes, a 79 year old woman who was murdered after leaving an engagement party.
The story was an enjoyable read, much better than I expect it to be. The novels brings up issues such as dealing with betrayal by a man you loved and how to overcome it, guilt, hatred and the need for acceptance.
I found it an intriguing and good psychological thriller and I would definitely recommend it. Apr 17, P. Anyone liking tightly written, extremely complex murder mysteries is on to a winner here.
I didn't guess whodunnit until the very last moment. As an example of excellent writing with all those hidden motives weaving their way to the surface this novel is a shining example.
It's also a book to make you think about how the past affects the future and how the ripple effects from one action can cause so much damage to so many people.
This is a novel to reread carefully and thoughtfully. My View: When is a crime novel not a crime novel?
This book starts by creating the tension for situation that is not fully revealed until the final chapters; a horrific situation in a remote rural community Then we move to current times and a murder that we know will happen Yes t My View: When is a crime novel not a crime novel?
Yes the police are involved but it is not a police procedural story, the police play only a minor role, they are bit players in this story of sorrow.
This is not really a book about crime, the crimes are somewhat incidental, set the scene or link the past to current events; it is a book about life and how the sins of the past catch up with the present.
It is a book filled with great sorrow, sadness and regrets. Link creates a narrative that is reminiscent of the gentle, thought provoking stories of Maeve Binchy; we learn a little about war time London and the plight of families during the intense and persistent air raids and bombings that had families scurrying into air raid shelters that were the catalyst to the decision to remove children from their families and send them to the relative safety of the countryside- and this is really where the story begins; a tale of children removed from their homes and the impact this event had on all concerned.
It is a story about love, expectations, let downs and Children can be so cruel, we teach them well. Link creates characters that are interesting, complex and dysfunctional.
This is a complex story where the histories and perspectives of individuals are woven together in a patch work manner to create a history of life in a remote seaside town in England spanning many decades.
Link initially paints a beautiful country side, a romantic idyllic escape — for some. For others this place is a burden, a place of cruelty, a prison; a depression in the landscape and the mind.
There is tension and Link builds this well. There is crime. And there is horror — acts committed and those not prevented. Love the cover — it is so evocative.
An interesting read. Compelling, disquieting, but unputdownable. I am a bit bemused by this book as the 'blurb' says that it was a massive bestseller in Germany and had rave reviews.
Perhaps it lost something in translation. The bag of odd-ball characters were interesting and there was quite a bit of pace, but the plot was clunky.
There was no finesse in the way the historical thread - which I found more interesting than the present day thread - was brought in and I was not convinced by the resolution.

I had decided to read it because it is set in Scarborough. Does anyone know why a German author should set her novel in Scarborough?
I'd really like to know. There was enough detail for me to believe she has been here and spent time here, but the descriptions just didn't zing.
In my novels, The Art of the Imperfect and The Art of Survival, also crime, also set in Scarborough, I have made every attempt to bring the setting into the story in a sensual, living, breathing way.
The sea is almost another character and the landscape certainly has metaphorical layers to it. I am left a little baffled by the apparent popularity of 'The Other Child'.
I really enjoyed this book, but because it is set in two time zones I found myself getting drawn into each time and then all of a sudden it would switch to the other time zone and I would be all 'no wait I want to know what happened next' and so it went on throughout the book, but it was certainly intriguing and although I had my inclings I never really guessed the culprit!
I liked some of the characters and was infuriated by others.

I enjoyed the references to the yorkshire coastline as I spent many a happy childhood holiday there. I'm not sure however I would search out other books by the same author but if I came accross one I would certainly read it.
Thank you for letting me review this book, I will recommend it to my friends! A good suspenseful mystery. I liked the way it traced the emotional cost of that evacuation.
Jul 30, L. More sorely in need of the half-star option than ever here as for me this is a definite 2. The idea behind the book is an interesting and original one.
Young Fiona is evacuated from London during the wartime bombings and is sent to a farm in Yorkshire where she falls hopelessly in love with the teenage son, Chad.
But Fiona comes with baggage. The sole survivor of a large neighbouring family, Brian, latches on to her like a small limpet, falls through the system, and becomes her shadow.
Br More sorely in need of the half-star option than ever here as for me this is a definite 2. Brian has an unspecified mental handicap which means he is only able to say 'Fiona' and 'Boby', his best efforts at Nobody, which is how he is referred to by the unlovely Chad.
Fast forward to modern times and to two murders. First a young woman, Amy, is battered to death.
Then later Fiona dies in similar circumstances. The police aren't getting very far. The daughter is being courted unconvincingly by a character, Dave, who is so overwritten he needs only to have the nickname of Spiv for the reader to be spared any mental effort.
Given that they appear somewhat inept, that's not too hard. Mithilfe der Fangschaltung kann ermittelt werden, dass die mysteriösen Anrufe bei Fiona Barnes aus einem Altenpflegeheim kamen.
Der schwer von seinem Martyrium gezeichnete Brian, der von der pakistanischen Familie zufällig im Stall gefunden wurde, hat stets kurz vor dem Abendessen aus dem Heim heraus das Telefon von Fiona angewählt, ohne sich zu erkennen zu geben.
Charlotte Link gab die Handlung ihres Romans erst zur TV-Adaption frei, als sie sich sicher war, dass der historische Hintergrund ihres Werkes gewahrt werde.
April und dauerten bis zum Juni Erst anderthalb Jahre nach Beendigung der Dreharbeiten wurde der Film am 2. Januar von ORF 2 und dem Ersten ausgestrahlt.
Am Um die Handlung des Romans auf die Laufzeit des Films von Minuten zu komprimieren und zugleich die Komplexität der Handlungsstränge zu reduzieren, wurde auf die Visualisierung diverser Nebenhandlungen verzichtet.
Zugleich wurden die Gewaltszenen im Film weniger drastisch dargestellt, als dies in der Romanvorlage der Fall ist.
Die einleitende Begegnung einer pakistanischen Sozialarbeiterin mit dem in Gefangenschaft lebenden Brian wurde im Film aus den er Jahren in die Gegenwart verlegt und durch eine Autopanne einer pakistanischen Familie ersetzt.
Neben den deutschsprachigen Schauspielern wurden auch britische Schauspieler engagiert, um die Authentizität des Films zu erhöhen.
Mit einer deutsch-britischen Starbesetzung ist ein Film entstanden, der ein bisschen Rosamunde Pilcher und wenig Inspector Barnaby atmet, aber aus beidem nur das beste: Sperrige Figuren agieren in einzigartiger Kulisse.
Um Marie Bäumer alias Leslie Cramer vermischen sich aktuelle Kriminalfälle und ein uraltes Familiendrama zu einer sehr dichten, anrührenden, spannenden Geschichte.

The daughter is being courted unconvincingly by a character, Dave, who is so overwritten he needs only to have the nickname of Spiv for the reader to be spared any mental effort.
Given that they appear somewhat inept, that's not too hard. To be fair, I did read this book right through and it did hold my attention, hence the 2.
The whodunnit was obvious, but I don't mind that as sometimes the why is more interesting than the who.
My problem with the big reveal was that it was done in such a contrived and improbable way and in fact the why was almost incidental.
Much of it hinges on the improbable scenario of two older people who have known one another for years, who speak almost daily, yet one of them feels the needs to unburden their conscience to the other in the form of interminable emails.
And therein lies my biggest problem with this book. It goes on. And on. Had it been a good or more pages shorter, I would willingly have awarded another star.
It's still worth of a read but you may find yourself wanting to skip chunks of it just to get to the end. Such a sad story of Brian- The Other Child.
But then this is only one of the stories. Gwen, a rather unattractive both physically and emotionally woman in her 40's has finally met the man of her dreams and is getting married.
She calls her long-time friend Leslie and invites her to the wedding. Leslie, a recently divorced Doctor has to go, if only to see who would marry Gwen.
David, the fiance is by all accounts, a very handsome man who it seems is only marrying Gwen for her father's farm. He confesses to Leslie that he does not love Gwen and can barely touch her, as for making-love- never gonna happen.
Good basis for a marriage. Gwen's grandmother who raised her Leslie is very suspicious of the marriage and at the engagement party has a bit of a rant, stating all the things that David would eventually confess to Leslie.
That night she is murdered. Running in the background there is another story of how the grandmother came to be friends with the family on the farm Gwen and her father Chad.
This story starts when London is being bombed and the kids are being evacuated from the city to the countryside. The Grandmother is evacuated and in a series of mishaps and confusion a mentally disabled boy, Brian, is bundled off with her and is taken in by the same family.
There is one final, main story, which begins the book, the brutal murder of Amy, a babysitter who is on her way home from her latest job though she had been kept very late.
When she gets to the part of her walk which would see her nearly home she finds the way has been blocked with gates from the nearby building site and she has to detour along another track where there are no streetlights.
At first the two murders look like they have been committed by the same person, so in effect the cops are looking for one killer.
The story is really about Brian and how he lives at the farm where no-one wants him except the farmer's wife Emma. What happens to him in his teens and later as he becomes a man with the mind of a 5 y.
So terribly sad. I did find there seemed to be a bit of repetition in the telling of the stories and thought it could have been a bit shorter if streamlined a bit.
A young woman is found brutally murdered, and police have hit a dead end trying to solve it. Until several months later, an 80 year old woman is found after being in a very similar way.
While there seems to be no connection between the two women, the crimes are too similar to assume different killers. The Other Child is such a multi faceted story, with so many points of view and time jumps in between.
It made for such a rich, compelling mystery. We have Leslie, a recently divorced doctor, who is A young woman is found brutally murdered, and police have hit a dead end trying to solve it.
We have Leslie, a recently divorced doctor, who is visiting her friend for her engagement party. She's staying with her grandmother, Fiona, who is eventually the victim that is found murdered after the engagement party.
The similarities to a prior crime forces the police to come down hard, and everyone at the dinner party is suspect.
Especially, the fiancee, because Fiona felt he was not a good man, and was only agreeing to marriage to obtain a profitable chunk of land; she was aggressive at the party, stating everything she felt until he left in a huff.
But, how was he connected to the previous murder, or even this if he had left? There were so many twists and turns. Leslie starts to discover the guilt that her grandmother felt when she was young, a story of the other child that she had been saddled with during evacuations from London.
Leslie continues to struggle with how this could possibly connect to her murder now, after so many years, without fully understanding the guilt that Fiona felt.
The depth of the stories within this were so impressive. Everything built on top of other stories, creating so many layers, that at first glance did not seem connected, but as the story progressed everything tied together so beautifully.
The mystery was not clear right until it was clear to the characters, every turn truly a surprise. This was one of the best mysteries I've ever read, and would strongly recommend it to everyone.
Mar 31, J rated it really liked it Shelves: ww-ii-angle , crime , mystery. I rarely hide my reviews because it's slippery to define "spoiler.
This title is available in English - apparently the first mystery by German writer Link to be translated - so I'm surprised it didn't come up when I searched for the English title, "The Other Child.
The same happened to me this time. But once the reader I rarely hide my reviews because it's slippery to define "spoiler. But once the reader understands the unrequited love, there's another whole phase of the story.
Turns out this book is a combination of unrequited love plus a wrong never righted. The generations who follow the initial pair have been adversely affected by the ongoing wrong, which had many consequences.
Is that a good enough abstraction of the plot to avoid the spoiler requirement? The injustice begins during the Second World War, when a London girl is evacuated, against her will, to a country family.
Usually I rate a book a 5 because not only is the story gripping with fully fleshed characters, the writing is also amazing. It could be that due to the translation factor, I couldn't entirely glean Link's style.
Certainly the writing was so fluid that I didn't even notice it - which is a big compliment. But I was still greatly affected by the story - particularly the prior sequence of events that led to the murders at hand.
I hope more Link novels are translated - or, dictionary in hand, I theoretically could attempt to read one in the original language.
Aber das is gar nicht wahrscheinlich. Ich kann nur schlecht und langsam lesen. The backdrop was fascinating, describing the evacuation of children from London during WW II , describing the emotional cost of that evacuation and the life-long effects it had on the main characters.

Leslie, a divorced successful doctor whose grandmother, Fiona, was murdered. Enjoyed the book but thought it could have been more condensed.
I think it would make a good book club selection as there would be many things to discuss. Mar 28, Nigel Toye rated it it was ok.
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I had high hopes of this for about half of it but the dragging out of the investigation of the two murders and the stringing out of the emails about the past was irritating.
The original murder of the young woman is left hanging at the end. The detective knows who it is but has no proof and we never know why the suspect did it.
A British detective is carrying a gun? Took me forever to force myself to finish this book. I was literally in the middle of the climax scene and had no qualms about putting it down to do something else and come back later.
I found the book to be very scattered and circular. The main murder muster was predictable, the deep dark secret serves no purpose but to highlight the worst parts of humanity, and nothing really gets resolved by the end of the book.
Everyone is still unhappy and no justice is served really. Wish I would have left Took me forever to force myself to finish this book.
