If you haven’t read this yet,you’re missing a great read!
Full of mystery and intrigue along with great characterization and scenic descriptions. I fell in love with Stockholm and Sweden.

This whole series is great. Definitely lots of action.
Different from any other book I’ve read
Loved this book, but sometimes the Scandinavian names and places are challenging. So I really preferred this as an audible book. But it was very exciting. Crazy, unstable woman and a methodical, regular guy together make it an unforgettable book.

Exceptional story and writing. Kept me going through the whole book and then led me to the rest of the series!
I really enjoyed the characters and the suspense of this book. Highly recommend if you went to be sucked in to a series from the first page.
The book is a little slow at first, but once the environment and characters are set the plot unfolds with momentum and you won’t want to put it down. This is a masterwork of murder investigation and intrigue with a remarkable female character. Set in Sweden.
