Hat mir besser gefallen als der erste Teil. ( )

I read the first volume of this trilogy last October. The second volume also gripped me from the start.
The young policewoman Eira Sjödin again has her hands full. Her mother, who suffers from dementia, is admitted to a nursing home, which she really likes. But what to keep and what to take away is a challenge for Eira. She packs together with her mother, but she unpacks everything behind her back. When everything has been moved, Eira wants to clear out the house, but as her brother Marius is in prison (innocent), she is left with everything. On top of everything else, a murder case takes up all her time.
A male corpse is found in the cellar of an abandoned house in the woods. It looks like he was locked up and died of starvation and thirst. She rejoins the investigation team. She soon realises that this murder victim is not the only one and it even looks like it is a serial murder. The worst thing for her is that someone close to her disappears and time is running out to find him alive.
It was exciting from the first to the last page and I'm already looking forward to the next volume. ( )

Eira is back. In this book, the case begins when a middle-aged man is reported missing by his ex-wife and daughter. A short while later, a man is discovered dead in the basement of a rural abandoned decrepit house. Two of his fingers have been cut off, but the cause of his death was determined to be starvation and dehydration. The team is running out of clues when they discover that there had been a similar situation in a far northern province. In that case, however, the kidnapped man was discovered in the basement of an abandoned house before he actually died of starvation. Can the team discover who is kidnapping people and locking them in the basements of abandoned buildings before they take someone else. The backstory of Eira and her family continues to interest me.

I wish there were more in the series.

You Will Never Be Found is the second book in Tove Alsterdal's 'High Coast' series. While this is a series, you don't need to have read the first book to enjoy this latest. There are enough references to let you know who's who and their relationships etc.
Detective Eira Sjodinn is the lead character. She's a dogged, determined investigator that will follow the slimmest of clues to close a case. While she excels at work, her personal life is a bit of a mess. This personal thread adds much to the character. And I'm curious as to how some of her choices are going to play out.

She's caught her work cut out for her when a man reported missing is found in a remote, unpopulated area in a cellar. And then another man goes missing...but this one is personal.

I liked Alsterdal's plotting. The tension grows as the search widens and still nothing or no one is found. It seems like a needle in a haystack. And this is where Eira's critical thinking comes into play. Does she have the answer? There's no room to be wrong as we head to the final pages. Alsterdal kept my attention from first page to last. And an unexpected door is left open for the next entry in the series - which I would happily pick up.

Tove Alsterdal has won the awards for Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year and the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel. ( )

Book description
I ett ödehus vid Offersjön, djupt inne i de ångermanländska skogarna, hittas en ihjälsvulten man. Två fingrar är avhuggna på hans vänstra hand. Sjuttio mil längre norrut, i det nästan övergivna gruvsamhället Malmberget, har en annan man spärrats in i en källare och lämnats att dö. Eira Sjödin, polisassistent i Kramfors, blir engagerad i utredningen, samtidigt som hennes mamma måste in på vårdboende. Hennes bror sitter fängslad, dömd för ett brott han har erkänt, men inte begått. När ännu en man försvinner berör det Eira personligen. För att finna honom är hon beredd att riskera allt.

Slukhål är den fristående fortsättningen på succéromanen Rotvälta, och andra delen i Tove Alsterdals serie från Ådalen. Rotvälta utsågs till Årets bästa svenska deckare 2020 och belönades med Glasnyckeln för bästa kriminalroman i Norden.

TOVE ALSTERDAL har hyllats stort för sina spänningsromaner, ända sedan debuten med Kvinnorna på stranden 2009. Hennes böcker ges ut på över tjugofem språk och är prisbelönta i flera länder.

"Toves förra bok, Rotvälta gav jag högsta betyg och hennes nya är ännu bättre. [...] Omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig innan sista sidan och där - vilken cliffhanger!"
Expressen Söndag

"Tove Alsterdal är enastående på att kombinera vardagsliv i inre Norrland med intensiva polisjakter efter en utstuderad seriemördare."
Aftonbladet

"Redan när jag har läst några få sidor, slås jag av Tove Alsterdals förmåga att använda språket. Orden skapar en rytm som känns i min kropp. Rentav fysiskt njutbart."
Norrländska Socialdemokraten

"Tove Alsterdal kan sitt Ådalen och hon kan verkligen spegla bygdens historia och nutid i sina böcker."
Ölandsbladet
