Maria is doing badly – Diepresse.com


Gudrun Lerchbaum's new thriller « Nobody saw it » continues the story of Maria, the protagonist of the previous novel.

Mary is gossiped. It is not the brightest, it is said. Others say her mother, said others. She lies, the police suspect. After her mother's death, Maria disappears without a trace. When she returns to her Waldviertel village after over a year, she says that she couldn't remember anything. A murder happened during this time. A landlady in a Salzburg ski resort was stabbed. Her son is in prison, but claims that he was not. Is Maria involved in the bloody deed?

If the beginning is familiar to you: the book is a continuation of « disappear between you ». It would not be Gudrun Lerchbaum, would not dominate socio -political questions. This time it is about exploitation in tourism, nature destruction and women who are abused and abused. And something else becomes clear: that expectations and wishful thinking influence both perception and judgments. In times when social media are flooded by emotionally charged posts about God and the world, this is a topic that is worth thinking about. The fact that Lerchbaum simple lives simple makes the inner film colorful and plastic. Only sometimes the text is slowed down a little.
