That first fall chill had me reaching for some Scandinavian noir, and this book had just what I was looking for: Swedish mountain setting, ramshackle cabins, a meandering murder story that spans two decades, and three very different narrators. I wound my way through this complicated web of emotions and relationships, and enjoyed it for what it was -- which is not edge-of-your-seat thriller, but more grounded and atmospheric.

Tog två veckor att läsa jättesvårt språk o fattade inte begreppen o orden hon använde o blev så besviken för jag gillade löpa varg så mycket

Axelryckning med en bunt osympatiska karaktärer. Jag ville verkligen tycka om den, men det ville sig inte den här gången.
