A review by carrington
Last Will by Liza Marklund

dark mysterious slow-paced

• Strong character development? No

2.0

I’ve read another book of Marklund’s before in this same series and I remember it fondly, which is why I was surprised that this one felt so lackluster. I felt neither engaged by plot nor character. In fact, the character pieces/plot felt so background, added in just to say it was there rather than to inform decisions the characters made in regards to the mystery at hand. To its credit, it does pick up in the last 200 pages, which makes me question what the first 300 pages were even for. A cool premise for sure, but felt it didn’t do anything particularly original in the Nordic Noir or general mystery space.
