It's been awhile since I've read a book in this series, which made it tricky... I had to keep up with all of the new characters and remember the old ones. It took about half of the book to feel confident with all of the plot changes. It was intriguing, but I found myself staring at obvious clues that seemed to take forever to come around. I also found that there were some oversights in the mystery that were hard to ignore compared to some of the earlier books.

bought this one at the airport, it was my first Camilla Lacberg mistery and I quite enjoyed it, I could not put it down. Apprently, form other reviwes, it is probably because it is my first book by her, because other readers complain it is always the same formula.

I devoured this book! I couldn't put it down and even dreamt about it. Such an amazing mystery story. I love the way the author ties in every story, how as a reader you can't wait to get to the revelations that are fed little by little to the reader. If you like police/detective stories, this is for you!

As usual, a good scandinavian thriller with a very complex story in the background.
The writer holds a lot of different ties and stories to only reveal at the end how it is all connected. However, she keeps your interest going and there were moments I really had to keep myself from looking further in the book to get some answers right away.
Very enjoyable is the use of the recurring characters. The setting in this series is allways the same place ( little town in Sweden/police office) and a lot happens to the characters connected to the police office. While this is often the case in series, in this series it is a prominent feature. Not only the crime story is interesting, but the evolution of the other characters is a story on its own

Después de gustarme mucho el anterior, éste siguiente no me ha llenado tanto. Creo que le sobran algunas páginas y tarda bastante en que todo salga a flote. Hay algunas cosas que si que se intuyen, que son de cajón y de las que he acertado bastante. Pero otras me han sorprendido gratamente cuando todo ha encajado.
Contras de este libro: Me ha resultado bastante tedioso en ciertos puntos de la historia, sobretodo en la primera mitad del libro. No ha habido tanta acción como en otros y se agradecería un poco de innovación en las historias.
Entiendo que "lo importante" es la trama central de "crimen", pero también me gustaría que se centrase en sus protagonistas (Patrick, Erika, Anna). Porque los veo más como meros títeres de la historia que van acompañándola, que verdaderos protagonistas.
Lo que si me ha gustado ha sido que le han dado más protagonismo a Gösta y me ha parecido muy acertado, porque así le conocíamos más tanto a él como a su historia.
En resumen, en general me ha entretenido. Pero me ha parecido un libro más de "crímenes" que a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados Camilla Lackberg.
Ojalá el siguiente sea mejor.

Lackberg has become one of my favourite writers recently. I’ve borrowed all of her novels from the library. Buried Angels is another fine crime novel. Lackberg kept me guessing right until the last few chapters. Like her other novels, Buried Angels includes flashbacks to events in the past that are connected in some way to Patrick’s current case. Lackberg uses this as a very effective way to drip feed the back story without it coming boring and slowing the whole pace right down. One of the most enjoyable things about Lackberg’s novel is the way the chapters are structured. One chapter contains numerous scenes. Each scene focuses on a specific character or plot event. Buried Angels is no exception. I really enjoy the way Lackberg drips feeds you the story one section at a time forcing you to read on until all the threads connect. I really enjoyed the storyline of Buried Angels and Lackberg took me by surprise a few times. I had no idea who was behind the attacks against Ebba and her husband and when Lackberg dropped the bomb my jaw hit the floor. The same goes for Lackberg revealing what really happened to Ebba’s family. I never saw that coming. Ebba does have a happy ending though. Buried Angels is an example of how good crime fiction can be when a writer tries to do something different and doesn’t rely on blood or violence.
