Storyn var okej, men lite irriterande att karaktärerna är så ensidiga. Alla män i den här boken är som barn, som inte förstår något som inte sägs rakt ut i detalj. Och det stör mig också att så många är så sneaky.
Egentligen en tvåa, men det ger jag bara till böcker jag inte läser klart.

I cannot stand the way Lackberg writes female characters.

Good story, a little too much explanation of irrelevant facts (which only annoys me because the book was almost 600 pages!)

Another good book in this series. She does a great job blending Patrik's home life with Erica (and her postpartum depression) with the current mystery and info from the past. Can't wait to see what her next book will be about!

"The remote resort of Fjallbacka has seen its share of tragedy, though perhaps none worse than that of the little girl found in a fisherman's net. But the post-mortem reveals that this is no case of accidental drowning!
Local detective Patrik Hedstrom has just become a father. It is his grim task to discover who could be behind the methodical murder of a child both he and his partner, Erica, knew well. He knows the real question - and answer - lies with why. What he does not know is how this case will reach into the dark heart of Fjallbacka and the town's past, and tear aside its idyllic facade, perhaps forever."

Je n'ai pas été complètement tourneboulée. Je trouve l'idée de l'autrice des blaguounettes sur les rapports hommes-femmes franchement datée. Mais j'ai trouvé ça sympa, j'avais besoin de ce genre de lecture un peu noire en ce moment...

My favourite one yet!

I read this in English, just to be clear.

I think I would have liked this more if I read it when it was first published. At this point in my mystery reading career, I'm over one-dimensional villains and have seen the key plot point/culprit's logic played out in plenty of other crime novels.
