Bitter Flowers by Gunnar Staalesen
4.0
A dark and chilling Norwegian tale set in a stunning and intriguing backdrop. I loved the mystery and added level of interest of the unfamiliar places, names and culture which were all immersive.
The story centres on a building and concerning number of suspicious deaths and the historic unsolved mystery of a missing little girl. The complexities and interconnections slowly start to unfurl and family and company secrets start to be hinted at and are uncovered by a private investigator whose questions soon start to put him under sharp focus and in danger himself.
I loved the style of writing and the beautifully interwoven connections between the various characters kept me on my toes but, happy to say, I was able to keep up and the end results were satisfying and loose ends thoroughly tied up. Refreshing and original, a definite recommend from me.
