The Night Raven by Johan Rundberg

4.0

I seriously enjoyed this MG mystery set in Stockholm, and finished it in a day. It’s the perfect length at 197 pages and therefore doesn’t suffer from a mushy middle like so many mysteries do. While our protagonist is 12, the content of this book is hardly middle grade; there is murder, death, hardship, starvation and lots more. That being said, I’d say this book is a great introduction to Nordic Noir for someone who is unsure if they can handle an adult version.
