Hi, my name is Barbara (62). I am married to Thomas (62) and we have two lovely daughters Isabelle (31) and Marina (24) and their partners. What warms our hearts the most are our two wonderful grandsons Juri (will be 2 on 4.1.24) and Timo (born on 19.8.23). We are always happy when they are with us.
I will be working as a primary school teacher until the end of July 24 and will then retire early after 40 years in the teaching profession. Thomas has been on early retirement since the end of June 23. We are both looking forward to being independent in the summer.
We have a few long-term adventures up our sleeves. One is cycling from the source of the Rhine to the mouth of the Rhine, and the other is cycling from the source of the Rhone to the mouth of the Rhone. However, we will do this in different stages, as we will mainly be travelling in good weather and don't want to be stressed under any circumstances. These projects may therefore take us years to complete.
And of course we are also looking forward to spoiling our grandchildren even more.
In the second half of the year, we will be in Maastricht from time to time, as Marina will be doing her international master's degree in law there.

Hi Jackie, Beth, Birgit and Joanne, thank you so much for your welcome. I'm starting a bit late with the ROOTING as I've read a lot of books from the library so far. But now the first book from my TBR pile is read. More to come soon.
As I said, I've already read some very good books this year. You can check them out on my main thread.

Dunkelkinder
What fascinates me about Nora Luttmer's books is that she is very knowledgeable about the life and culture of Vietnam. In addition to being an author, she is also a journalist, studied Southeast Asian Studies with a focus on Vietnam and regularly spent long periods of time in Hanoi in the 1990s.
This story is set in Hamburg, but the protagonists are Vietnamese. Inspector Mia Paulsen comes across a dead 'ghost child' in a cold case where nobody knows where it came from or who it was. Shortly after she takes on the case, two fresh corpses are found at the same location. The coroner's office establishes that these bodies are from Vietnam. Mia sees a connection to her cold case and wonders whether the dead child might also have come from Vietnam. The deeper she digs, the more complicated the whole thing becomes.
This story is also about the Vietnamese drug cartel in Germany. The story is told from different points of view: Mia, Luka (son of a murdered policeman), Sam (a 'ghost child', very much alive) and Aunt Lien (interpreter for the police, but deeply involved with the Vietnamese drug cartel).
It is written in a very exciting and varied way.

I Am Your Judge
Detective Inspector Pia Kirchhoff is actually on her way to her honeymoon, but a mysterious murder case makes her stay at home. An elderly lady is shot in the head at long range while walking her dog. What at first seems like a big mystery soon turns out to be a serial killer who has an agenda as an 'avenger'. Kirchhoff and her colleague von Bodenstein are always one step behind the murderer during their investigations. The underlying theme is organ donation and how some doctors deal with it.
Another very exciting crime thriller by Nele Neuhaus, which I can highly recommend.

Small Mercies
This was another Lehane that made me think a lot. Please don't get me wrong, I am against any form of racism, but the way the solutions were implemented in Boston to bring about mixing was doomed to failure in my eyes. How is this supposed to work when children are bussed across the city to attend a school where there are mixed races? The question that should have been asked is how to mix neighbourhoods so that different ethnicities can live together and the school would also be mixed. This is hardly possible in America because rich parents send their children to private schools and the public schools (as it seems here in Switzerland) do not have the best reputation.
The second focus is drug dealing and consumption. How easy it is as an Irish population that is against the mixing of the races, but big in the drugs business, to blame all misdeeds on the weak population. They are often supported/covered up by the 'white' police.
Sometimes I felt really sick while reading, with so much injustice. And I ask myself, when I look at today's American politics from a distance, why after so many years the USA has somehow still not come up with a solution to racism.

Deadline in Athenes
This is the first volume in the Inspector Kostas Charitos series. He is the head of the homicide squad in Athens and is supervised by Nikolaos Gikas. They are not always on the same page, as Charitos is a gut man and his boss only works with facts. Despite many misunderstandings, Gikas has Charitos' back. Charitos is married, and even though he loves his wife, they often have arguments.
Charitos investigates together with Sotiris and Thanassis. They are called to a house where two Albanians have been found dead. Despite questioning the neighbours, they make no progress. If it wasn't for the ambitious journalist Jana Karajorgi, who spreads the word that there must be another child. The TV journalist stops at nothing and keeps spreading new stories until she is found murdered shortly before the midnight programme. Now Charitos and his team get a new lead and wonder why the journalist had to die. Her successor is also found dead shortly afterwards. Charitos also realises that there is a mole inside the police department. Who is it?
The case escalates into child trafficking and power games. It is written in such an exciting and varied way that the reader only realises who the culprit is on the last page.

Teufelsfrucht
This is the first volume in the culinary crime series about Xavier Kieffer, a chef from Luxembourg who trained with a French Michelin-starred chef and then went on to have a stellar career in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. But now he is back in Luxembourg, wants nothing more to do with stars and cooks excellent Luxembourg cuisine.
A test eater from the Guide Gabin drops dead in Xavier's restaurant.
Xavier is immediately suspected of having something to do with the death. Of course, he can't let that sit on his head, so he starts to investigate on his own initiative. In the process, we get to know his comrades-in-arms. Firstly, there is his friend Pekka, who works for the EU, Valérie, the boss of Guide Gabin, and Esteban, with whom Xavier did his cookery apprenticeship.
Xavier soon realises that investigating on his own initiative not only puts him in danger, but also others, and there are more deaths.
The main theme in this cosy crime thriller is glutomatous. It is a competition between companies that use Glutomat to turn poor quality products into fine food and bring these products to the masses. They don't care that they are risking people's health in the process.
As I make everything myself from fresh produce, I am fortunately not dependent on Glutomat. Even more so after reading this book.
What I particularly liked is that you can immerse yourself in the delicious Luxembourg cuisine with Xavier.

Rotes Gold
I also really enjoyed the second volume about Xavier Kieffer. This time the main theme was overfishing of the oceans, in particular the ‘extermination’ of tuna and dangerous experiments with fish farming.
Together with his girlfriend Valérie, Xavier is invited by the mayor of Paris to an exquisite fish dinner organised by a Japanese celebrity chef. The chef prepares the food at the table and suddenly drops dead. If the mayor had not been a good friend of Valérie's, Xavier would probably not have had to start investigating again, but . . .
Xavier soon realises that dubious fishmongers based in Luxenbourg are involved in the murder. The greed for quick money is enormous among these dealers and so they literally walk over dead bodies. The trail leads Xavier from tranquil Luxenbourg to Sicily, where he can even call on the Mafia for support and help.
Another exciting adventure that makes you think about what fishing and the fish trade can do.

Das letzte Sakrament
I bought this book at a reading a long time ago. A video that throws the world into turmoil and triggers a race against time ... The fast-paced Vatican thriller for fans of gripping suspense The body of an employee is found in a laboratory in Basel. He was recently involved in secret investigations into the Shroud of Turin on behalf of the Vatican. One thing is clear to Inspector Alex Pandera: the results of the investigations must have been highly explosive. His suspicions are reinforced by the fact that the Church is doing everything it can to keep these findings under wraps. Shortly afterwards, a reporter in St Peter's Square in Rome claims that a molecular biologist has cloned Jesus from the traces of blood on the Shroud of Turin. As proof, he shows the video of a two-year-old boy: the clone of Jesus Christ. A race against time begins, as some would rather see the boy dead than alive.

The Way of All Flesh
This book had been on my Tolino for a long time and as I wanted to read another historical thriller, it came at just the right time.
1847: Edinburgh is shaken by a brutal series of murders of young women. All the victims have died in the same gruesome way. At the same time, medical student Will Raven takes up a position with the brilliant and renowned obstetrician Dr Simpson, in whose house ground-breaking experiments with newly discovered anaesthetics are regularly carried out. Here Will meets the inquisitive housemaid Sarah, who, however, gives him a wide berth and quickly realises that he is carrying a dark secret around with him. Both have very personal motives for wanting to solve the murders. Their investigation leads them into the darkest corners of Edinburgh's underworld and only if they manage to overcome their mutual dislike will they have a chance of making it out alive.

In this book we get to know Harry and his unorthodox methods. As always, he trusts no-one and makes life difficult for all his comrades-in-arms. We also learn a lot about Harry's past. He is a Vietnam veteran and this case has to do with his past.

Heidelberger Requiem
This is the first volume in a new series for me.
It begins with the induction ceremony for the new detective Alexander Gerlach in Heidelberg, at which his former colleagues from Karlsruhe have also turned up. He is a single father of pubescent twin girls. He is still looking for a new flat, so Gerlach travels to Heidelberg every day while his daughters go wild in Karlsruhe.
His new job actually consists more of desk work and coordination, but the new detective can't change his mind so quickly and heads to the crime scene himself with detectives Klara Vangelis and Sven Balke when the first murder is reported. The victim is chemistry student Patrick Grotheer. He was tied to the bed, then his wrists were slit and he bled to death. The officers soon discover that Grotheer was producing synthetic drugs and leading a luxurious life. He had long since fallen out with his father, the world-famous doctor and head of the surgical department at Heidelberg University Hospital. His mother had often feared that things would come to such an end with her son.
There are more deaths during the investigation. In addition to the fact that his private life is very turbulent, he also has to find his place in the new team.
I was only partially convinced by this crime thriller. However, as I still have a few volumes of this series on my Tolino, I will certainly read the other volumes too.
