Fatal Crossing by Lone Theils
3.0
I received a copy of Fatal Crossing from Bonnier Publishing Australia to review.
Fatal Crossing has been translated from Danish. I don’t think I’ve read a lot of books that have been translated into English. I can only think of one off the top of my head. I found it hard to get into this at the start because there were some things that I didn’t think needed to be part of the story and I did end up skipping all the parts with what people were eating.
I thought the flashbacks into Nora’s past were unnecessary, especially the parts about what happened with a guy, but after seeing on Goodreads that this is the first book in a series (well, there’s a sequel out but it’s in Danish so I can’t read it) it makes sense why it was part of the story. Even though I was more interested in the photo and the missing girls.
When I was drawn into the story and the mystery around the photo, I really enjoyed the book. It may have had a slow start for me but the second half of the book had more action, especially at the end!
Speaking of the photo and what happened to the two girls in it. Wow. I was not expecting that at all. I don’t want to say anything here about what happened because I hate spoiling books for other people. But I love books where I don’t see the ending coming.
Even though Fatal Crossing took me a while to get into I did end up enjoying it and I’ll be keeping an eye out for the next book. I’m hoping it will be translated into English one day.
If you like mystery books with very surprising endings then I recommend finding a copy of Fatal Crossing.
