Wonderful book with a surprising ending! I highly recommend it for mystery novel enthusiasts. I received it relatively quickly considering the circumstances, while also receiving regular updates on the delivery progress.

Although I can understand the clever idea behind the thriller that the author is trying to create, I found it a bit too easy to figure out the ending from the first few pages. Essentially, I read it just to read it, no plot twists, very stereotypical and stylized for my taste.

  A book that is average to good, which I would recommend for reading. The ending was particularly shocking and is worth discovering

  Excellent book. From the moment I started it, I couldn't focus on other things as I was eager for its continuation. I love books that make you believe one thing, then something else, and in the end, it's what you never even thought of!!!! Full of twists. I recommend it…!

  Having read all of Fitzek's books (excluding the trilogy in collaboration with Kliesch), this undoubtedly ranks in the top three. Fluent narration, twist within a twist, and I must say that the ending was not as far-fetched as in his other books. Personally, I place "Therapy" in first place, followed by "Package" in second, and "Autopsy Lessons" in third.

  I bought it to read it after reading the therapy and the experiment. I can't say I was thrilled like with the others. It was a bit boring and there were few points that kept you interested. Definitely not one of the best books. I believe therapy is the best book he has written.

  First time reading Fitzek (and thriller book in general). The plot was amazing, the style of it, as it should be, and overall a very nice book. Now I have in my sights the position 7A of the same author.

  It was the first book I read from this particular author. The plot was very nice. I didn't expect the ending at all!

  Very nice book with a very interesting plot for its category. I give it 4/5 stars because sometimes I didn't quite understand the reactions of the characters. Nevertheless, it is very readable and I definitely want to read more books by this author.

  This review is about a variation of the product

  It is difficult for me to comprehend what I just read!
  I had heard good things about Fitzek, but I didn't expect him to be this good!
  I was shocked! It was the most thrilling story I have read so far!
  "The Package" is the most chilling psychological thriller I have read! It is the first time I am reading a book by Fitzek and the truth is, I now understand why there is so much buzz around his name. It is a very powerful novel that causes incredible anxiety in the reader to such an extent that they can feel Emma's madness! "The Package" is a shocking story, with many creepy and chilling scenes that will make your blood freeze!

  Detailed review coming soon here and on my YouTube channel: The Little Bookworm

  Not as good as other books by the same author like "Memory Experiment" and "Therapy". It confused me in several parts and I had to reread some sections. I would describe it as just a decent book

  Very nice police and psychological thriller that keeps your interest until the end. Very good plot twists. It is easy and fast to read. It makes you want to read it in one go.

  I don't understand why it has become so famous, nowadays best-selling books are probably those that have a lot of advertising. It's very boring, the writing is tiresome, the heroine exaggerates in her reactions and whatever she has been through is not justified, she just repetitively exhausts her emotions, over and over again. Also, there is a twist, but by the time you get there, it has tired you so much that you just want it to end.
  You can't call it a thriller, if you want a thriller, invest in a classic Stephen King, guaranteed! Very bad book.

  Quite good. The whole plot makes you think of different assumptions while reading until it almost reaches the end and turns everything upside down. Very psychological.

  I am really disappointed with Fitzek.
  All his books are the same.
  They become a thousand mysteries that confuse you and you can't make sense of them, and at the end of the book, you simply realize that all of this was happening from the perspective of the psychologically disturbed protagonist, so everything is justified.
  The easiest way of writing.
  Read "The Ivy Murders" and no other mystery book will satisfy you anymore!
  You simply fall in love with Horowitz's mind.

  Classic Fitzek. Not at all tiresome, with many twists. I disagree with several reviews that it didn't create suspense, as there was something on every page that made you want to keep going. The ending may be approaching science fiction and is a bit unorthodox, but still an amazing book. As for the package, you may not see it many times in the book, but that's the cause of everything that will happen. Also, Emma, the protagonist, is a bit peculiar but that's how it "had to be".

  While I was reading it with great interest for the first three quarters, afterwards it disappointed me so much that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The ending has so many gaps and it is unrealistic, as if E.T. came and took the heroine to space.

  This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
  The heroine of the book is from indifferent to unlikeable. The plot unfolds slowly and painfully and fails to create suspense.
  As for the infamous package, it appears in the middle of the book and its contribution to the plot is minimal.
  And most importantly, the climax of the book and the resolution of all the mysteries are rushed and done in a hasty manner.
  In short, whether you like this book or not is subjective, but the fact that it is poorly written, uninspired, but full of pretentiousness is objectively true

  Fitzek is consistent in theme, writing, meticulous work, and the quality he wants his books to have. So, in this one, he follows the same rule, and those who expected something different will probably be disappointed. Good, as always.

  Very good psychological thriller. It has a lot of suspense and keeps you on edge. The truth is that it is better than average and beyond. I recommend it to anyone who has been disappointed by love AND to anyone who believes they can do anything for the person they love...

  Boring. It was the first author I read and I don't think I will read any other... I continued until the end even though it was boring from the beginning, just because I don't like leaving something unfinished.

  It made me read a whole book after a long time of not finding anything interesting. It keeps you constantly in suspense, playing with your mind. At first, I felt like it was going a bit slow, but from the middle onwards, I read it continuously

  Once again, the saying holds true that you hear a lot of cherries...

  Very mediocre, quite tiresome in its attempt to impress you but fails to do so.
  Even the mentioned "twist" at the end is nothing special and in fact, the climax-revelation happens abruptly.

  It did not deserve the crazy advertising and promotion that was done in all media.

  It is a book with suspense and thrill. Personally, the beginning is very good, but it was a bit challenging for me until the middle. Of course, you have to get to know the character better, so it's logical. However, after the middle, I read it all in 2 days. You can't stop reading because each chapter is more and more surprising! It could easily be made into a movie! 5/5 from me for the ending and the last sentence of the book!
