No current Talk conversations about this book. 3rd book in the series. i've really become comfortable with the far north setting and look forward to seeing what's happening now, and these are really engaging continuing characters. for my taste the ending goes a little glossy action movie, where the whole setup is designed to be small and claustrophobic, but we'll chalk that up to an experiment that didn't quite suit her style. This began as an OK example of Scandi noir, but soon resolved into a bit of a mess, with an assortment of characters heading off in different directions, and no single protagonist that the plot coheres around. I was still prepared to give this three stars, but the ending just descended into silliness that you'd have to believe in magic to find credible. no reviews | add a review

A grisly torture-murder, a haunting northern Sweden backdrop, and a dark drama of twisted sexuality collide in a masterpiece of suspense. No library descriptions found.

I enjoyed this book very much; the storylines were well developed, there was mystery not only as to who was doing what ... and why, but there were some background and underlying issues with which some of the characters lived. I will read more of her work. ( )
