Not usually a crime fiction person but this one was quite interesting. Not the best writing but decent pacing, interesting characters and an intriguing ending.

Slow and very predictable book. The story has nothing new to offer. To my taste the characters lacked some depth, even though the author tried very hard to give them back stories I think she did not accomplish what she aimed for. I found it so interesting how the characters kept missing clues and information, and I guess it was on purpose, so the author could keep the book going, which is not always good.
I read a translation, not the original language in which the book is written, not sure if it was the translator's fault, or if the author really writes like that, but hated the way it was written, there's so many words that are so repetitive and posh words that no one uses, almost feels like this book was written with the intention for it to become a tv series one day. 
I saw the author has published many more books since this one, from the experience I got from this one I won't be reading another book from her, but I hope she has improved since this book was published. And that she also has overcome her fatphobia

Ihan koukuttava. Mielenkiintoista seurata ihmisten ajatuksenjuoksua eri tilanteissa.

Check CW for this one.

A good solid mystery for the first in a series. I was gifted book 2, so reading this was prep work for reading that one.

There were a lot of characters to keep track of for the first 1/3 of the book, until I could keep track of who they all were and how they connected to each other. 

I enjoyed the pacing and all the twists and turns the story took. I did not enjoy some of the shame-y descriptions of the characters.
