The initial read of this book had me hooked and I was so looking forward to reading this book when it arrived.
The cover gripped my attention and the synopsis had me wondering what was going in. I wanted to expand my reading genre and read from another country.
Although the writing was very descriptive and drew me in I was prepared for the emotional torture of Liv. Even now I am finished I am not sure how I feel about her? Do I feel sorry for her? Should she have left? But the strength she has is immense,. especially with her final decision.
Other reviewers said the end was a shock, but I had worked it out. Maybe I read too many murder-mysteries

The book has an interesting concept and a very interesting storyline. I was very grateful to receive an advance copy of this book.
For me personally it started a little slow and it took me a while to get into it but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s written very well and has a great usage of descriptive language which helps you imagine it in your mind.
It did take me a little longer than normal to read it and I think that’s maybe because I didn’t fully connect with it at the beginning.
The story tackles many complexities, issues and relationship issues. The main character Liv has stayed beside a domineering father for many years but why? Many secrets get unearthed throughout the book and there’s more than one twist and turn. I found the last two thirds of the book a great read and very enjoyable, it just took me a while to get into the book.

Na autorčinu novou knihu jsem se těšila, přestože mě Stříbrná cesta zklamala. Bohužel na mě opět čekalo zklamání. Po větší část knihy jsem měla pocit, jako by se nic nedělo. Pořád jsem čekala na překvapení či zvrat, který by dal více do pohybu události, ale toho jsem se nedočkala. On to není špatný příběh, jen dost předvídatelný. Měla jsem v průběhu čtení pocit, že jsem něco podobného už četla, ale nemohla jsem si vzpomenout kde. Pokud už máte s podobnými knihami zkušenost, konec vás nepřekvapí. Ovšem věřím, že pokud se severskou krimi začínáte, mohla by vás kniha zaujmout.
