Giveaway: The Tulip Eaters by Antoinette van Heugten
Book Description:
In a riveting exploration of the power the past wields over the present, critically acclaimed author Antoinette van Heugten writes the story of a woman whose child's life hangs in the balance, forcing her to confront the roots of her family's troubled history in the dark days of World War II…
It's the stuff of nightmares: Nora de Jong returns home from work one ordinary day to find her mother has been murdered. Her infant daughter is missing. And the only clue is the body of an unknown man on the living-room floor, clutching a Luger in his cold, dead hand. Saving her daughter means delving deeper into her family's darkest history, and as Nora feverishly pieces together the truth from an old family diary, she's drawn back to a city under Nazi occupation, where her mother's alliances may have long ago sealed her own–and Rose's—fate.

It sounds interesting because to me it's like a mystery with the murder. The daughter sounds determined to find out why and from current day must go into her family history to find out secrets for the reason why.
