Description
International bestselling author Mandy Robotham returns with a brand new tale set in war-torn Germany.
The war is over. But there are still secrets to be found amidst the ashes . . .
Hamburg, 1946
The war is over, and Germany is in ruins. Posted to an Allied-run Hamburg, reporter Georgie Young returns to the country she fled seven years prior – at the onset of the conflict – to find it unrecognisable.
Amongst the stark horrors of a bombed-out city crumbling under the weight of millions of displaced souls, she discovers pockets of warmth: a violinist playing amidst the wreckage, couples dancing in the streets, and a nation trying to make amends.
Joining forces with local detective Harri Schroder to catch a killer targeting women on the city’s streets, curiosity draws Georgie deep into the dark underbelly, and she soon discovers that some secrets of war did not die with Hitler…
The next gripping and heart-wrenching historical fiction novel from international bestseller, Mandy Robotham.

As an ARC reader diving into "The Hidden Storyteller" by Mandy Robotham, I found myself immersed in a hauntingly vivid portrayal of post-war Germany. As the authors narrative skillfully weaves together the devastation of a bombed-out Hamburg with the resilience of its inhabitants. Georgie Young's return to a country she fled during the war sets the stage for a captivating exploration of loss, redemption, and the lingering shadows of secrets.
What struck me most was the authors ability to evoke the atmosphere of the time period, painting a picture of a city struggling to rebuild amidst the rubble. The characters, particularly Georgie and Detective Harri Schroder, are intricately drawn, each grappling with their own demons as they navigate the murky aftermath of war.
The mystery at the heart of the novel adds an extra layer of intrigue, drawing me deeper into the narrative as Georgie and Harri race to uncover the truth behind a series of gruesome murders. But it's not just the whodunit aspect that kept me turning pages; it's the way Robotham uses the investigation as a lens through which to explore the complexities of guilt, betrayal, and the human capacity for both good and evil.
Overall, "The Hidden Storyteller" is a gripping and thought-provoking read that left me eagerly anticipating Mandy Robotham's next offering. Fantastic read. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.
