My Take
Nele Neuhaus is a writer I find quietly impressive for how she anchors her crime thrillers in a real place, the Taunus region near Frankfurt. There is something grounding about that, the sense that the landscape itself is a character. What strikes me most is her range: she also writes romantic novels under her maiden name Lowenberg and pony books for teenagers, which tells me she never wanted to be just one kind of author. Winning Japan's Booksellers' Award in 2014 is a remarkable signal that her German crime fiction translates beautifully across cultures. I think that international reach is the truest mark of her storytelling.
