Skumtimmen by Johan Theorin

I can't remember the last time I read a book in Swedish, it was weird. But I would never read a translation when I can read the real thing so off I went.

Was it awesome? No, but it had me so curious that I had to read more.

It is a about a missing child, and decades later there is a shoe in the mail. Whaaat? Who sent it? The grandfather, in his old age, tries to investigate. The mother comes and what I liked here is that her story was more about letting go and not holding her grief as a way to shut away the world.

A body that was never found. A story about someone sinister who used to live nearby. What happened?

Oh it had me guessing until the end. I do like that. So for that I quite enjoyed it
