Solid continuation of the series, with some particularly unlikeable characters in this one.

2.5. Denna boken kändes alldeles för lång med alldeles för många perspektiv, speciellt när det på slutet visar sig att ett av perspektiven bara finns med för att bygga upp handlingen i nästa bok( som inte gäller samma fall…). Dessutom tyckte jag inte att det stora avslöjandet på slutet var så värst förvånande, så inte en bok för mig helt enkelt.

Jeg giver fire stjerner for en god, velkomponeret og spændende historie. Jeg synes, flere af personerne er noget karikerede, men det fungerer efter hensigten, og jeg kan godt lide den måde, hvorpå der skiftes mellem tid og sted.

I read this book at the height of my Scandinavian thriller period, several years ago, and while I liked all book in the series, this one was always my favourite.
When a young girl is found murdered, the investigation only leads to more suspects and motives as time goes by...
But I tried to re-imagine just what made this one better than the others, and honestly, I can't be sure. The story is decent, as are most of the others, and there's the mixture between suspense and domestic story that is just right. It is a delightfully quick read, and especially to this novel I look back with very warm feelings.
Note: I read a Dutch translation of this book

Despite being nearly 500 pages long, I read this book in just over a day. The reason was that I had a difficult time putting it down. This is the third in the Patrik Hedstrom series. He is a detective in a small, seaside town that is now heavily dependent on tourism. He has been in a serious relationship with Ericka after meeting her in the first book by the author. Now they have a baby together although they haven't yet married. Ericka is having a hard time since having the baby, a beautiful little girl named Maja. She has gained over 20lbs which hasn't come off and is suffering from postpartem depression although neither she nor Patrik realize this. (You would think that in this modern world that would have been discussed with them, but perhaps they didn't pay attention!) Also Maja wants to nurse every couple of hours - a phenomenon I remember all too well. (Luckily that doesn't last, but it seems interminable while it does.)
The author introduces the murder in the first chapter - a little girl's body is caught in his nets by a retired lobsterman. Then we go back to the past to meet Agnes, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy Swedish industrialist. After that every chapter starts with a bit about Agnes, then switches to the modern era. I actually had a suspicion halfway through, and it turned out I was right. I won't spoil it for you though. This is a real page turner. I literally couldn't put the book down!

I keep picking up Camilla Läckberg's books because she produces work that are reliably entertaining, have a solid mystery and like-able main characters. This one didn't disappoint. I especially enjoy how she lets her secondary characters grow and change over the course of the series. This is an earlier book than the ones I've read so far and it was intriguing to see starting points/early stages for this development.

Le roman est palpitant. La vie à travers les époques est racontée dans un rythme parfait. On a des questions et des hypothèses jusqu'à la fin.
