Children's & Educational; General fiction (Children's&YA)

A cat-and-mouse psychological thriller that gets inside the minds of the victims, the police and the murderer himself . . .

Eighteen-year-old Jenna is sharing a flat in Br hl, Germany, with her friends Caro and Merle when a girl is killed nearby. The murder seems to have parallels with two other frightening crimes.

Then one day Caro is found murdered - stabbed seven times and with her necklace missing, just like the other girls. At the funeral Jenna swears revenge in front of everybody, and in turn attracts the attention of Nat, a handsome and mysterious strawberry picker. With Jenna sidetracked by love, Merle sets about solving Caro's murder herself. But as the answer dawns on her, another horrifying reality emerges.

Reviews for The Strawberry Picker

"""Young mystery readers . . . will find in this novel everything that is fascinating in mysteries for adults: extraordinary characters and a tension that remains taut long after the readers have realized who the murderer is."" --Suddeutsche Zeitung (Germany)"
