4.0
A thrilling Nordic noir, the Hammer siblings have written a compelling novel. This was a pacy read with its short chapters leaving you constantly craving more. There was a couple of quirks to the writing but the plot itself was meticulous and crafted expertly, I won't hesitate in picking up another book from this series. However, the subject matter at times was very dark - this is not a jolly detective story!
