The Sinner by Petra Hammesfahr
Cora killed a man on a summer afternoon by the lake and in full view of her family and friends. Why? What could have caused this quiet, lovable young mother to stab a stranger in the throat, again and again, until she was pulled off his body? For the local police it was an open-and-shut case. But Police Commissioner refused to close the file.
