Publisher Description
WINNER OF SWEDEN’S BEST FIRST CRIME NOVEL AWARD • A hardheaded attorney returns to her hometown to solve a vicious murder in this “richly atmospheric” (Kirkus Reviews) thriller from the acclaimed author of The Blood Spilt
“This impressive debut heralds another striking voice from Scandinavia.”—Booklist
In the land of silence and snow, the killing has begun . . .
Rebecka Martinsson is heading home to Kiruna, the town she’d left in disgrace years before. A Stockholm attorney, Rebecka has a good reason to return: her friend Sanna, whose brother has been horrifically murdered in the revivalist church his charisma helped create. Beautiful and fragile, Sanna needs someone like Rebecka to remove the shadow of guilt that is engulfing her, to forestall an ambitious prosecutor and a dogged policewoman. But to help her friend, and to find the real killer of a man she once adored and is now not sure she ever knew, Rebecka must relive the darkness she left behind in Kiruna, delve into a sordid conspiracy of deceit, and confront a killer whose motives are dark, wrenching, and impossible to guess. . . .
Customer Reviews
Decent mystery
This was a pretty good read. The descriptions of Lapland are quite good and you get a real sense of what it must be like there in the winter. The character development is good, too. Sadly, the ending is not believable at all. A scrawny tax attorney is some sort of superhero? Naaaa, I don't think so.
Promising but has issues
Too many mistakes. Small innocent dog viciously murdered. This was a first book by the author. Maybe she improves with later attempts.
It started slowly
Wasn’t sure that I would enjoy this book. The story started slowly, but soon it became interesting. I’m looking forward to reading her next book.
