So delighted to find more books by this author at the second hand shop. Now I have to go buy the rest of the series. I gave away my signed copies of her first series when I moved!

Oikein hyvä dekkari, joka piti otteessaan. Astetta raaempi ja synkempi tarina toi elävästi mieleen nordic noir-sarjat. Tekijä oli myös positiivinen yllätys, sillä pitkästä aikaa en osannut arvata tätä. Taas toisaalta tekijä ei tullut täysin puskista, sillä jälkeenpäin jäljet viittasivat melko vahvasti tähän. Ajoittain tarina kuitenkin junnasi paikoillaa. Suuret käänteet tapahtuivat todella nopeasti kuin aseen suusta, kun taas alku ja keskiosa olivat melko tasaiset. Hahmot jäävät taasen vähän turhan yksiulotteisiksi. Kuitenkin kiinostava ja hyytävät dekkari
