Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe very welcome return of Prosecutor Chastity Riley in another crime thriller set in Hamburg.
Chasity has a bad cough – sounds more like consumption to me (possibly as irritating to her as it is to us…)
The apartment block is essentially half low rent, low quality apartments and half a squat.
