Violent but I am addicted to this series. The characters are growing and changing.

I did not care about the characters, the whole business-thing plot was boring and there wasn't enough information for the actual police procedural or about Rebecka, Anna-Maria and Sven-Erik. Also the whole side plot with Rebecka and Måns liking each other felt ridiculous.

This book really irritated me.
It sounded good when it was recommended to me by my local library as I like Scandinavian authors but I could not get into it.
It says on the book that it is "another Rebecca Martinsson mystery" but to me it seemed like it is about loads of people but not mainly about Rebecca Martinsson.
I could not get the grip on the changing points of view as well as the constant flashbacks of all of the characters.
What I liked is the fact that it gave an insight in how certain business people lead their lives but all in all I did not enjoy it. Shame.

Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich irritiert.
Es hat gut geklungen als mir von meiner oertlichen Bibliothek empfohlen wurde, da ich skandinavische Autoren sehr gerne mag. Der deutsche Titel lautet "Der schwarze Steg".
Auf der Vorderseite des Buches wird geschrieben, dass es "ein weiteres Rebecca Martinsson Geheimnis" sei aber fuer mich ging es mehr um viele Leute aber nicht hauptsaechlich ueber sie.
Ich konnte weder mit der staendig wechselnden Erzaehlperspektive noch mit den staendigen Rueckschauen der Charaktere klar kommen.
Was mir gefiel, war die Beschreibung wie bestimmte Geschaeftsleute Ihr Leben leben aber alles in allem habe ich diese Buch nicht genossen. Schade.

Tyvärr den sämsta boken i serien. Jag gillar utredarna och människorna runt omkring. Men själva fallet kändes osannolik och extrem och jag tror inte jag gillade en enda av människorna..

questo è il libro che mi è piaciuto meno della serie di libri di åsa larsson. al momento sono al quarto libro, e posso dire che tutti i libri mi hanno preso da subito tranne questo. certo, anche qui la storia è interessante e originale, ma lo ho trovato davvero lento. lo stile di scrittura è molto evoluto (in positivo) dal primo libro, però come dicevo ci sono,talvolta, dei momenti morti. è interessante come cosa (che si ritrova in tantissimi gialli scandinavi che ho letto, soprattutto quelli più vecchiotti di sjöwall e wahlöö): l’inizio e la fine sono le parti più movimentate e interessanti, mentre la parte centrale è caratterizzata da molta lentezza, ricca di introspezioni personali. in ogni caso, descrizioni dei personaggi sempre attente, paesaggi suggestivi e tanti cani :)
