Il passato torna per l'ispettore Stride, sotto forma dell'omicidio, ancora irrisolto, della sorella della sua defunta moglie.
E tra passato e presente tutti i personaggi sono costretti ad andare nel fondo di se stessi, tra abusi e perversioni, per ritrovare se stessi e la loro umanità.
Bello, ben scritto e ben tradotto.
Una prece invece per il titolo italiano.

I'm a sucker for Minnesota based mysteries, and these are pretty. Great cabin reading.

Freeman is an excellent storyteller. I get sucked into the lives of his characters so easily and have a hard time putting each book down. The atmosphere in this one was chilling and the plot was full of twists and turns. Highly recommend this whole series.

3.85 stars! A very good book. I continue to be amazed at the cinematic scenes the author creates during the course of his books. Does he start with these "scenes" or they just happen in the course of the story. I don't know but they're excellent. Almost over the top in this book with the multiple climatic scenes at the beach and the bridge, and maybe your favorite scene beyond these? Anyway, so far Freeman has not disappointed. Highly recommend this author.

This book has more twists and turns that a roller coaster. It is just ridiculous. To many plot twists, to many stories intwined. I would not recommend this book. He has written much better than this in other books.
