Echoes from the Dead by Johan Theorin
3.0
3.5 stars
This story revolves around a little boy who went missing 20 years prior and a notorious killer who died years before the boy was born. Somehow they are connected.
This was an extremely slow burn. Especially through the first half. It was hard to pick up after putting it down. One of the main characters, Gerlof, is always beating around the bush which makes it go even slower for me.
I will say that I enjoyed the author’s writing style. He’s very descriptive and I loved the atmosphere of Oland. The plot itself was interesting and there was even a twist I didn’t see coming which is always welcome.
If it wasn’t such a slow burn I would have rated higher so the low score is purely just based on my own preference.
