About this audiobook
Freshly trained detective Johannes “Hannes” Niehaus is brand-new to the Criminal Investigation Department. And his partner, unconventional veteran detective Fritz Janssen, isn’t the least bit thrilled to train a rookie.
When a woman’s body washes up on the nearby shores of the Baltic Sea, Hannes gets his first taste of real crime—and a chance to prove himself. Quickly the investigation pulls him and Fritz into a whirlpool of dangerous, decades-old cover-ups. As the death count rises, the clues begin to lead them back to the Third Reich—and to harrowing crimes some people will do anything to keep hidden.
With the dead woman’s beautiful assistant to protect and a missing girl to find, Hannes navigates an ever-twisting maze of concealed horrors and enduring vendettas. Will he be able to catch the murderer before another innocent life gets caught in the killer’s dark plan?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have started this book wanting a nice juicy murder crime... and while it delivered on that aspect, the story focused more on the history behind the crimes along with a side plot that at the beginning didn't seem to fit in but later proves to be important.
the flow and writing style are good and even though i lost my thought while listening to it, i was still able to follow with the events.
The ending had me a little bit shocked since i did not expect the criminal to be that person.
if you're a fan of a soft and slow crime novels then i do recommend this series ^^ - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this suspenseful thriller about a vengeful killer hiding in plain sight. When Johannes Niehaus, a professional canoeist turned policeman, starts his new job under the watchful eye of Old Fritz—a veteran of the force—he never dreams his first case would be so demanding or dangerous. The fast-moving plot contains kidnappers, murderers, activists, and war criminals. The writing is witty and down-to-earth, and though sometimes hard to follow, it ties up all loose ends at the finish. I found Johannes a likeable protagonist and will have to read the next book to see what happens to him.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great introduction to a new series for me. Hannes Niehaus is a top athlete and trains for the Olympic Games. He earns his money as a detective and can also do his intensive training. In his first case he has to do with an old WWII story. There are several deaths, all of which are linked to a drug company that tested drugs on concentration camp inmates during the war. Who is looking for vengeance against this company? Niehaus has an older colleague who supports him in the research. That this relationship to the end will be clouded, one learns only at the end.It's very exciting and let me guess who the bad guy is until the end.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I see some people liked this. Not me. This is a bad book. Over-written. All telling, no showing. The backstory of every character squeezed pointlessly and distractingly into the narrative. Why not let the reader discover some things? The plot itself is derivative and cliched. Bin it. P.S. Don't blame the translator. Not Patrick's fault.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The problem here is not the book, probably, but the translation. Read it in the original if you can.Good title.I received a review copy of "Time Heals No Wounds (A Baltic Sea Crime Novel)" by Hendrik Falkenberg translated by Patrick F. Brown (AmazonCrossing) through NetGalley.com.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a winner in my 2016 quest to seek out new authors. Perhaps the locale (the Baltic coastline) being dreary and gray affected my overall impression of the book as being weary and traversing well-plowed themes.The partnership between a time-worn old hand and a tyro police detective had no refreshing new angle. The link between a contemporary murder with the echoes of past Nazism is a well that too many murder mysteries and thrillers written in the last 20 years have plumbed and replumbed. As for the old saw that revenge is a dish best served cold, well here's another proof that memory is long and forgiveness is best reserved for the saints among us.Can't recommend this re-tread of an old tread piece of fiction. But there are thousands more new-to-me authors I haven't met yet. So, I am not discouraged by this one's disappointing output.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think that the book was probably excellent in the original German, but the translation feels awkward. Perhaps if Whispersynced with a narrator at least semifluent in German it would come across better. The procedural aspects ring fairly true, and the interpersonals do as well. Impressive character development. All that being said, I found it riveting despite the pesky annoyances. See publisher's blurb for clues, no spoilers here.Won from NetGalley.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting to read a book by a contemporary German author using as background Nazi concentration camps and the collaboration of German industry, especially the pharma-chemical, with the atrocities commited there. The story is a conventional hardened experienced cop reluctantly taking on a green recruit as a new sidekick, but with the twist that the sidekick is an aspiring Olympic canoeist. For me it didn't quite hit the mark and I don't like stories where the locations are never identified, especially after just reading Robert Goddard who always uses real locations!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Translated from the German, and set on their Baltic coast, I was looking forward to a new crime read. However, for me this was like a sub par version of The Girl with the Dragon tattoo - murders among a warped rich business family. But no charismatic young hacker, in fact no female characters at all with anything to do beyond fall at the feet of the younger of the two detectives. I am really sick of reading about women kidnapped and kept in small spaces. Not sure if the original German was clunky but the English translation certainly was. Avoid.
