Fuck, fuck, fuuuuuck. I knew it, I got a feeling all along, but still, I'm just hoping it won't happen (even though I know it is a certain thing). I need the next book, but it isn't available until almost the end of the month.ðŸ˜
So, I have mixed feelings about this book. I barely remember the crime plot since it was pretty much the subplot and the events of the character's lives was the main one. I actually enjoyed the latter simply because I'm quite invested in those character's. Their development satisfies me so much. However, I do understand why people rated this book quite lowly compared to the first two.
Also, there were a lot of names going back and forth, and honestly, it usually isn't a issue for me, but this time started to annoy me a little bit, went back to check if they had actually appeared before or not or if their name was mentioned.

I really liked the first book in this series, the second one didn't quite live up to the expectations I had. So, when I picked up this third one, I didn't have high expectations. Which proved to be a good thing, because I enjoyed reading this one a lot. The beginning was excellent, and got me very interested in the story. Six unidentified bodies discovered in a grave on the hills, close to a popular hiking route. If that's not a good way to start, I don't know what is. I'm sure it would have helped if I remembered a bit better what happened in the previous book as this references to that a lot. There are some big twists and turns, especially when it comes to the characters' private lives and they bring a nice added flavour to the story, as does the seemingly unrelated story of two Afghan men who disappeared several years ago. The ending isn't the strongest part of this book, but they did a fairly okay job with wrapping up everything. And of course there's a big cliffhanger at the very end that makes you want to read the next book in the series right now.
