The Beast by Anders Roslund

3.0

A few years ago I read out of sequence three seconds and always planned to try more of this series. this is the first in the series and whilst particularly horrible in terms of crime the plot and characterisation was good. It did feel a little like the first in a series in that the writers threw everything into it including public rioting, prison drama, and a side plot of vigilantes attacks on potential paedophiles, but overall it was a page turner although again I'd emphasise that as the crimes relate to children it is not at times an easy read, I will read more in the series as I liked the typically grumpy detective Grens.
