Incredibly well-written twist on the normal form of modern thriller/mystery. There were some oddly dark and intense moments but that added to the complexity and ability to enjoy the story.

Though everything is detailed, you have to remember that a text covering such mature topics comes naturally in this genre and might be perceived as darker or lighter dépendant on each reader

Oh this was so dark. I knew it was going to be but wheeeew. Great twists and turns through the Scandinavian landscape. I loved the breadth of the mystery and how it all dovetails together.
