APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The bestselling series by Swedish crime novelist Camilla Läckberg’s stars a husband-and-wife team: crime writer Erica Falck and her police detective husband, Patrik Hedström. In this latest instalment, the capable duo assist a woman whose arrival on the rustic island where she was abandoned as a baby has stirred up buried secrets—and marked her as a target for violence. Buried Angels is another example of Läckberg’s beautifully paced, gritty and clever crime writing, where taut suspense and psychological insights eclipse splashy action.
