Just finished listening to this on audible.com. Loved it as it explores/continues Rebecka's healing and gives us that detailed aura of the landscape/region.

Too many subplots attempted, making the novel as a whole fragmented and at times difficult to get through.

Violent but I am addicted to this series. The characters are growing and changing.

I did not care about the characters, the whole business-thing plot was boring and there wasn't enough information for the actual police procedural or about Rebecka, Anna-Maria and Sven-Erik. Also the whole side plot with Rebecka and Måns liking each other felt ridiculous.

This book really irritated me.
It sounded good when it was recommended to me by my local library as I like Scandinavian authors but I could not get into it.

It says on the book that it is "another Rebecca Martinsson mystery" but to me it seemed like it is about loads of people but not mainly about Rebecca Martinsson.

I could not get the grip on the changing points of view as well as the constant flashbacks of all of the characters.

What I liked is the fact that it gave an insight in how certain business people lead their lives but all in all I did not enjoy it. Shame.

Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich irritiert.
Es hat gut geklungen als mir von meiner oertlichen Bibliothek empfohlen wurde, da ich skandinavische Autoren sehr gerne mag. Der deutsche Titel lautet "Der schwarze Steg".

Auf der Vorderseite des Buches wird geschrieben, dass es "ein weiteres Rebecca Martinsson Geheimnis" sei aber fuer mich ging es mehr um viele Leute aber nicht hauptsaechlich ueber sie.

Ich konnte weder mit der staendig wechselnden Erzaehlperspektive noch mit den staendigen Rueckschauen der Charaktere klar kommen.

Was mir gefiel, war die Beschreibung wie bestimmte Geschaeftsleute Ihr Leben leben aber alles in allem habe ich diese Buch nicht genossen. Schade.
