Did not like this book as much as the first. I figured out who the killer was and why midway through. It's because the main character is a tax attorney, so if you follow the money, it's easy to figure out the killer. The writer gave many clues and few red herrings that I wondered if it was meant to be obvious whodunit. The author has killed more people and animals than necessary and goes into vivid detail. I think I'd abandon the series now, but this book ended in such a cliffhanger, I need to read the next novel to find out what happened to the main character.
I couldn't help noticing the difference in attitude on violence between Sweden and America. Rebecka Martinsson killed three people in self-defense. In America, she would be lauded as a hero. In this book, she was shamed as a murderer.

Entretenido. Ni más ni menos. El personaje de Rebeca pierde toda la fuerza, aunque la policía Mella parece cogerle el testigo. Eso sí, lo que dice la sinopsis de que la policía acude a Rebeca en busca de ayuda... no es que Rebeca haga mucho en este libro.

El primer libro me supo a poco teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que se había hablado de él, pero quise darle otra oportunidad a la autora. Una y no más. El inicio es muy lento, tarda en entrar en la historia, y aunque Anna-María Mella es un personaje que me gusta, a la protagonista, Rebecka, la veo carente de carisma. No soy capaz de empatizar con ella y me resulta muy plana, a pesar del plano psicológico que se le intenta otorgar. Una cosa que me pone muy nerviosa de esta autora es los saltos que da en los tiempos verbales ya no sólo en el mismo capítulo, sino en los mismos párrafos. Los finales de cada capítulo de "Patas doradas" como simbolismo no estaban mal, pero en una novela de este género me sobraban y se me han terminado haciendo aburridos, tanto que terminaba saltándomelos. En definitiva, hay demasiada novela negra como para seguir dedicando el tiempo a una saga que no me termina de convencer en absoluto.

Ljudbok. Hade lite för mycket surr i huvudet för att kunna koncentrera mig och hålla isär alla bybor. Jag gillar skrivgreppet, men lösningarna känns kanske lite klyschiga. Dessutom har den väldigt tunga ämnen utöver mord, jag vet inte varför det var tvunget att inkludera den där veterinärscenen. Den här boken lunkar så att Kerstin Ekmans Löpa varg kan springa.
