 Murders have been committed on a farm in rural Bavaria a few years after the end of WWII. The book is the story of the murders and the people in the town. Each chapter is in the voice of a different person explaining how they knew the family and giving insight into the activities of the family. “The Murder Farm” (its title is “Tannöd” in German), has no detective — in fact there is no investigator at all. It consists of very brief chapters, many of them monologues of different villagers explaining to an unseen interviewer his or her connection to the slain family and to the day of the murders.

The Times Literary Supplement said of The Murder Farm, "With only a limited number of ways in which violent death can be investigated, crime writers have to use considerable ingenuity to bring anything fresh to the genre. Andrea Maria Schenkel has done it in her first novel." The first author to achieve a consecutive win of the German Crime Prize, Schenkel has won first place for both The Murder Farm and Ice Cold. The Murder Farm begins with a shock: a whole family has been murdered with a pickaxe. They were old Danner the farmer, an overbearing patriarch; his put-upon devoutly religious wife; and their daughter Barbara Spangler, whose husband Vincenz left her after fathering her daughter little Marianne. She also had a son, two-year-old Josef, the result of her affair with local farmer Georg Hauer after his wife's death from cancer. Hauer himself claimed paternity. Also murdered was the Danners' maidservant, Marie. An unconventional detective story, The Murder Farm is an exciting blend of eyewitness account, third-person narrative, pious diatribes, and incomplete case file that will keep readers guessing. When we leave the narrator, not even he knows the truth, and only the reader is able to reach the shattering conclusion. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

L'affaire n'a jamais été résolue mais pourtant l'auteur nous donne un meurtrier donc nous pouvons en déduire qu'elle s'est basée du drame pour romancer son histoire, car ce roman n'a été écrit qu'en 2006.
J'ai aimé me retrouver dans la peau de "l'enquêtrice". nous avons des chapitres où nous suivons les membres de la famille assassiné (avant le drame) et des chapitres d'interrogatoires des membres de la communauté (post drame).
L'auteur ne nous tient pas vraiment en haleine mais pour autant, elle nous immerge bien dans la campagne profonde, sa population croyante et la dure vie d'un paysan de l'époque.
L'écriture est fluide et le lecture pas désagréable. (
