I love Scandanavian mysteries and this ranks at the. It’s complete with moody characters, some scandalous behaviors and fascinating situations.
It took me about a few chapters and then I was hooked. Keeps you guessing! You will be anxious to start the next book in the series.
Thrilling!
One of the very best books I have ever read hands down. And I am a voracious reader!
AMAZING!!!
Love this series!
Fantastic!! Incredible page turner….Have read the entire set of 3….you will not be disappointed by any of them…..4th book was finished by another writer after author passed away and is also wonderful….
This book is the first of a series and all of them are page turners. It held my interest throughout with sympathy and awe of the main character. I loved it.

I put off reading this book because I tried to read another in the series and just couldn’t get into it. I’m so glad I gave this one a try and will move on to the others in the series
the whole series was incredible.
Really liked the book
One of the best reads ever.
One of the best books I’ve ever read!!!
This book is a complex read with a deep and satisfying heart. The characters are unconventional to say the least, and that is what draws you in. The entirely European culture, approach, and backdrop make you want to pull out a map and follow along. This grittty realistic read is completely unique and empowering, but not for the faint of heart. …
So depressing how evil people can be.
Very different. Very good.
