I love this series, and thought The Drowning was one of Camilla Lackberg's best! The characters, the plot, the intrigue... and the cliff hanger. SO. GOOD. The ending was a surprise, but one that I saw coming JUST a little bit ahead of the reveal. I definitely recommend this book.
Gosto tanto dos livros da Camilla. É como voltar a encontrar velhos amigos, adoro o Patrick e a Erica.
Andei a ler lentamente porque tinha outro em mãos, mas hoje peguei-lhe e li 200 pág de seguida.
Adorei mais este enredo e fui apanhada de surpresa com aquele final.
Muito bom

Helt grei undeholdning mens man rydder eller tegner.
My library has all of these and they are all pretty easy to read, flashbacks in this one and a twist ending that I had to pick up the next book for.
nuevamente Camilla me volvió a sorprender!! no me esperaba ese final!!! definitivamente la nueva Agatha!!! si no lo han leído háganlo YA!!!
Reading this book was like being in an old fashioned funhouse: what's in the mirror may not reflect reality. Camilla Lackberg's books are non cozy domestic horrors - reaching back into the past to discover the reason for a murder. Her families are as far from the idyllic as possible: drug users, obese, abusive, cold, horrific and more. The book opens with Erica expecting twins, and her sister, away from her abusive ex and in a relationship with Dan, also expecting a baby. Erica has made a name for herself writing true crime books. Now she will not be the only published author in her little town. She is pleased that Christian Thydell, who works at the local library, has had his book, "The Mermaid," published using the same publisher as Erica. It has received rave reviews. Erica learns that Christian has been receiving anonymous threatening letters. She shows them to Patrik, her husband. Then others receive anonymous letters. In addition, a beloved family member had disappeared months ago without a trace. He was friends with the men receiving the letters, but apparently did not receive any himself. Lackberg also slowly unveils the story of a child whose entire life was marked by emotional abuse. It's a horrific story that ends in a surprising twist. It seems to take a long time for her books to make it to the American market. I hope the next one doesn't take quite as long.
This series is incredibly readable and enjoyable. The characters are endearing without being annoying, the plot moves at a good clip and keeps you guessing. The two small complaints I have are that she teases a little too long on some reveals, repeating them two or three times too many. It's fine once or twice, but...
And she doesn't write fast enough to leave such dramatic cliffhangers at the end.
Otherwise, great summer read.

One of the best from the series so far! What a story, and what a cliffhanger!
Can't wait to dive into the next one!

עוד מותחן מוצלח של קמילה לקברג. למעט החלקים בעלילה שעסקו במערכת היחסים והבגידות בין לואיז, אריק, קנט וססיליה (אשר היו משעממים למדי), מדובר בספר מעניין, קצבי ומותח באמת, שגרם לי להפוך דפים עד לסיום המיוחל בו התברר סוף סוף מי הרוצח/ת.
מבחינתי זו היתה הפתעה ולא פתרון צפוי בכלל, כך שיצאתי מרוצה.
גם הסיום שאחרי הסיום היה מפתיע, שכן בניגוד לספרים הקודמים בסדרה, הספר הזה הסתיים בקליף האנגר.
כעת רק נותר לקוות שיתרגמו מהר את ספר מס' 7 בסדרה ...
