I've read a few books now featuring a protagonist with face blindness & it's such a hard device to pull off. I'm not sure this one does, or if the device is even necessary. This is a family drama that takes place over 60 years in the same creepy Scandinavian house. Very atmospheric but the main mystery isn't compelling enough for the action or long dialogue. And the ending is sort of out of nowhere. This is the second book I've read by Sten with a cool premise that doesn't deliver. I'll keep trying, though! She has great ideas.
