The Stonecutter by Camilla Läckberg

4.0

Scandanavian mysteries are usually fun to read, and this one doesn't disappoint. It's a good psychological crime story, set in a fishing village in Sweden where a fisherman has "caught" the body of a young girl in his net. In some ways it reminds me of the British TV series, Midsomer Murders, where so many people have motive and opportunity. The story takes place as winter is ending but spring is not coming quickly. The cold and rain lend an ominous tone. The unfolding of the contemporary investigation is interspersed with flashbacks to people who lived in the region many years previously. You feel these vignettes must have some meaning - but what? Read to find out!
