Wanted to really like this as I've visited Kiruna and am fond of the place and I enjoyed her first book a lot. This book didn't grab me at all and I'm not sure whether it was the story or whether it was the translation which seemed quite stilted in parts.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Much ado about nothing. Author couldn’t even find a way to allow police solve the murders, they just explained it and what the role of the main character was is a mystery. Indeed at least half the characters were superfluous.
