You'd die for your family. But would you kill for them?

You become afraid to leave your family at home alone. But there's nothing more you can do to protect them.

Is there?

Thought the book was boring and plot silly. Don't waste your money.

The fierce bond of family

"I had always believed my father capable of a massacre. Whenever I heard on the news that there had been a killing spree, I would hold my breath, unable to relax until it was clear that it couldn't have been him." (Wording may not appear the same in final published edition).

Randolph Tiefenthaler grew up with a father who had an extensive gun collection. Not only were the guns loaded but Randolphâs father had a bit of a temper. Randolph always had a fear that one night his father would come upstairs and kill him and/or his brother. Randolph is an adult now with a wife and children when his father is arrested for murder. It all started when Randolph moved his family to a new building where Dieter Tiberius is living in the basement apartment. Dieter is an odd character who turns into a menacing one when he starts to stalk Randolph and his family and accuses the parents of sexually abusing their children.

This is an excellent psychological thriller with deep insight into family bonds and the fears implanted in us as children that we continue to live with throughout our adult life. Iâve seen other reviews saying the author lectures about issues but I thought the whole book was fascinating. I hung on every word and loved the buildup of suspense. No one seemed to be able to help this family â not their lawyer, not the police and not childrenâs services. At times I thought, just move away, but they hadnât done anything wrong to lose their home, but since it involved children, I would have been out of there. Regardless, I was quite impressed by this author. Apparently, the book is loosely based on the authorâs own experience with a stalker so he had firsthand knowledge of what this type of situation can do to a person.

The author is from Germany and he has written 8 novels, many of which, including this book, have been adapted for film, television and radio in Germany. âFearâ is the first to be translated into English. Iâll be keeping an eye out for any others that will be translated in the future for sure.

I donât usually give thrillers 5 star reviews as I reserve 5 stars for books that really have a profound impact on me. But in a way I think the book did have a profound impact on me as Iâm still thinking about it though Iâm writing this review weeks after reading the book. This story showing how quickly our immediate world can become one thatâs horribly distressful fills my thoughts throughout the days. If youâre looking for a thriller with psychological insight, I highly recommend this one.

This book was given to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.

a gripping and thought-provoking read.

4.5 stars

âWe grew up untouched by weapons as everyone else â but for the fact that the guns were there, which changed everything.
