Spiritual heads from within Israel will also be present for the entire 9 days and 8 nights scheduled for the event. This comes at a very critical time for Israel, with a lot of spiritual activities going on to commemorate Biblical events, and at a time when the US has just set its Embassy in Jerusalem. Also, Israel will be celebrating 70 years of independence; what a special time for the Holy City.

Guests will enjoy full pleasure of mass engagements and nights of commemoration and self-reflection, taking full advantage of the presence of powerful Christian Ministers.

Beschreibung

In Sommerburg, einem Örtchen in Norddeutschland ist Jonathan Pastor der 800 Seelengemeinde. Die weiblichen Mitglieder der Gemeinde sind sehr darauf bedacht den jungen Pastor unter die Haube zu bringen, doch Jonathan hat sich selbst strikte Regeln auferlegt – nicht einmal ein Kuss soll vor der Hochzeit vergeben werden.

Als durch Zufall die attraktive Prostituierte Marlene in sein Leben tritt verändert sich alles auf einen Schlag. Während Jonathan sich Hals über Kopf in die hübsche Blondine verliebt, werden nach und nach die Freier von Marlene ermordet. Außerdem stellt sich heraus, dass Jonathans Weste nicht ganz so weiß ist, wie es scheint…

Meine Meinung

Der Ladythriller „Blutpsalm“ von Meredith Winter entführt den Leser in die 800 Seelengemeinde von Sommersburg und sorgt auf seinen etwas über 200 Seiten für kurzweilige, prickelnde Unterhaltung.

Durch den angenehmen Schreibstil der Autorin fällt es nicht schwer sich in der Geschichte einzufinden und die symphatischen sowie teils schrulligen Charaktere erledigen das Übrige. Jonathan und Marlene könnten auf den ersten Blick nicht unterschiedlicher sein, er der geradlinige Pastor mit Glaubenssätzen und gute Seele von Sommersburg, und sie die hemmungslose und reizende Prostituierte mit schrecklicher Vergangenheit. Doch bald wird klar, dass auch Jonathan keine blütenreine Vergangenheit hat. Aus diesem Duo ergibt sich bereits eine interessante und äußerst dymanische Mischung.

Sehr charmant sind die kleinen Einflüsse durch Jonathans Leidenschaft zu Jane Austens Romanen. Das spiegelt perfekt die moralischen Unterschiede zwischen den Hauptprotagonisten wieder, und genau wie bei Jane Austen wendet sich das scheinbare Blatt.

"Zufrieden mit sich und seinen hohen moralischen Ansprüchen schlug er Emma auf. Ja, er las Jane Austen." (Seite 11)

Als Kulisse dient die beschauliche und fiktive Gemeinde Sommersburg welche geradezu krotesk kleinbürgerlich anmutet. Doch genau durch die perfekte Zeichnung dieses Dorfes mit seinen Bewohnern hat Meredith Winter den passender Schauplatz für ihre Geschichte bereitet.

Im Vordergrund der tagebuchartigen Kapitel steht die mit knisternder Erotik versehene Liebesgeschichte zwischen Jonathan und Marlene. Durch die Mordfälle entsteht ein unterschwelliger Spannungsbogen der vor allem durch die spannenden „Cliffhanger“ an so manchem Kapitelende eine Sogwirkung entwickelt der man sich nur schlecht entziehen kann.

"Erst als der Badewannvorhang beisetegeschoben wurde, schreckte sie auf. […] Laut übertönte ihr Schrei das Prasseln der Brause, die sie in dieser Sekunde fallen ließ." (Seite 68)

Ein paar Kritikpunkte habe ich dann aber doch, denn der Hanldungsverlauf war zu temporeich für die gerade einmal zweihundert Seiten umfassende Geschichte. Dadurch wurde es an einigen Stellen holprig und unlogisch, ein gutes Lektorat hätte hierbei leicht für Abhilfe sorgen können. Für meinen Geschmack triftete die Liebesgeschichte zwischen Jonathan und Marlene zu oft ins kitschige ab und die Polizeiarbeit rückte zu sehr in den Hintergrund. Ich hätte mir hier eine ausgewogenere Mischung aus Lovestory und Thriller gewünscht. Möchte man in erster Linie eine leidenschaftliche Geschichte gewürzt mit Spannung lesen, ist man bei „Blutpsalm“ jedoch an der richtigen Adresse. Ich bin auf jeden Fall schon sehr gespannt, was wir von dieser vielversprechenden Autorin noch zu lesen bekommen werden!

Fazit

Dieser Ladythriller fesselt durch einen reizvollen Plot und ansprechende Charaktere.

I may have rated a few other books just as highly as these, but when I look through the 100 books that I read this year these are the ones that give me pause. Each of these books surprised me, challenged my way of thinking, uplifted me, or were extraordinarily memorable in their own way. It may seem easy to choose a top 10 for the year, but I am thankful that I've read so many fantastic books that this was a challenging task. To make it easier, I did not count re-reads (Pillars of the Earth) or books in the same series (Bloodline by Conn Iggulden).

I'm looking forward to another great year of reading in 2017!
