juniperusxx's review against another edition
3.0
Oli ilo palata Läckbergin aiemmista sarjan osista tuttujen henkilöiden seuraan. Tässä osassa oli paljon hyvää, mutta koin häiritsevänä nykyhetken tarinan väleihin ujutetut noitavaino-osiot, jotka jäivät irtonaisiksi, eivätkä tuoneet lisäarvoa varsinaiseen rikosselvittelyyn. Muutenkin kirjaan oli ahdettu vähän liikaa henkilöitä ja teemoja, vähempi olisi ollut parempi. Läckbergin kirjoihin en kaikesta huolimatta ole väsynyt, täytyypäs mennäkin lisäämään uusin suomennos toivelistalle :)

I enjoyed the current story but the flashback one just did not capture my interest at all.

Una stella e mezzo. (E non posso arrotondare per eccesso, sarebbe troppo.)
Se è vero che la storia poteva in qualche modo essere "carina" nel suo complesso, bisogna considerare che il libro è eccessivamente lungo, ripetitivo, ridondante e BANALE e SNERVANTE nei dialoghi. Mi è sembrato di leggere il copione di una Soap serale, più che un thriller - per pagine e pagine e pagine NON ACCADE NULLA. Poi ci sono i finti colpi di scena. Poi di nuovo oceani di nulla.
Mi sono inoltre imbattuta in varie imprecisioni storiche nella parte ambientata nel 1600, e di traduzione - alla lunga diventa antipatico dover correggere nella propria testa mentre si legge.
Quasi 700 pagine sono DAVVERO TROPPE per raccontare qualcosa, quando, anche esagerando, lo si poteva fare riducendo la mole a meno della metà - giovandone in scorrevolezza e in leggerezza, evitando i mille giri di parole per raccontare sempre le stesse identiche cose.
Insomma, non mi è piaciuto affatto.
L'autrice è entrata nella mia blacklist a tempo indeterminato; un buon libro, o un buon thriller che dir si voglia, si fa in altro modo.

Listened to this on audio and wow!! Over 21 hours!
This is split into 3 timelines. The first is about a 4 year old girl who is found dead and two teenage girls confess to her murder. The second storyline is 30 years ahead when another 4 year old girl goes missing from the same farm the previous little girl lived. The 2 teenagers are now grown up but one still lives in the area and the other is a famous actress and is working on a new film close nearby. The third timeline goes back 300 years. But is connected with the other timelines.
I enjoyed the third timeline and it does the in with the rest of the story towards the end of the book but even if it was left out, still would have been a good storyline.
There is lot going on at one time but still easy to follow. I did think I knew how things would turn out, and I was right in the cases of 'who-done-it' but there was other parts that I didn't see coming.
I really enjoyed this book. Although the book is based in Sweden and has been translated into english, and some of the Swedish names are hard for me to pronounce, I would read more from this author.
I would give this a 3.5/5 stars.
