Review: May I be the first to congratulate you. You are considering "tuning into" my current favourite, Skandi author. And trust me I've read a few. I disagree with a fellow reviewer - read the Ice Princess first - agreed it is not necessary, and not as good as this one - but the back-stories around Erika's sister and Patrik and their getting together - is helpful in understanding his self-doubt when it creeps in as well as their financial circumstances. The story - which I loved - and only worked out 70 pages from the end (of 419)- is teriffic but detailed elsewhere by others. And in summarising it I fear i will give away the final couple of twists. Instead here's why I prefer Mrs Lackberg to the others from her grouping. Like most I started with Stig Larsson and devoured his trilogy in a weekend by the shore. Picked up on Jo from the Snowman's excessive marketing - before retracing his bibliography back to the start and enjoying the cynacism and the healthy disregard of rules by Harry Hole all the more. Thanks to Amazon's "people who bought that, also bought..." logic I then tripped around maybe 20 other crime writers from the colder climes of Europe before alighting in April upon the Ice Princess. Its been said everywhere but (a) she doesnt waste words unnecessarily (b) gives far more depth and flesh and detail into her characters (which is refreshing after nesbo)(c) in my view structures her books better (in particular the frequent use of parallel stories from different times as in The Preacher) (d) does not hide behind the now cliched "cop with issues" tag that I now so pointedly despise and (e) lays her stories on top of perfectly normal physical landscapes and families. I will always be a sucker for the deliberately slow-pacing of the Van Veetern novels of Hakan Nesser but have now relegated him to second on my all time Skandi-chart on account of the shere humanity on show from this lady. I scoffed a little on the strap-line to the Ice Princess - but it is even truer here. "Heart-stopping AND heart-warming". A real neat trick to pull off within a novel belonging to a fairly stoic genre. Definitely life-affirming - which given the subject matter and motivations of the completely mad killers written about here - is great writing. Am sure others will scoff - but I truly felt emotional depth in this book. The Icelandic chap Indridason probably goes closest in this regard. The dilemma of sister Anna is truly upsetting but written with stunning clarity and warped logic. The psychological aspects of characters' motivations in these books is beautifully put down on the page. Well done to all involved. The editor and translator to name but two of the team responsible. And the dedication at the start is very sweet given what has happened since. Highly recommended. My book of the year so far.

Review: I enjoyed this book. The plot was somewhat convoluted but I could believe along with the characters. The problem was the translation: I kept on being thrown out by the poor choice of words used. It definitely reduced my enjoyment in reading.
