The Lost Boy by Camilla Läckberg
4.0
I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. As always, an honest review.
Another great novel by Camilla Lackberg. The Lost Boy is intriguing, thrilling, and mysterious. This novel is a bit more sad, compared to her previous works, especially with regards to the main characters’ personal lives. The story centers around the murder of Mats, a businessman who has recently moved back into town. There’s also a new spa opening and a woman who has recently moved back to Ghost Isle, the secluded island with a lighthouse. For most of the book it’s difficult to see how these different locations and people’s lives connect. Bit by bit the author weaves the story lines together, creating a satisfying but intriguing journey towards solving the multiple mysteries. As with the author’s other novels, the stories alternate between the past and present. Ghost Isle is especially intriguing. The author is great at capturing the natural beauty of Sweden, especially with the secluded island and lighthouse. Her magnificent use of the settings really takes her writing to the next level. On a more personal note, I really liked that we were able to learn more about sisters, Anna and Erica. Their personalities and character development were given time to be explored. As per usual, I thoroughly enjoyed Camilla Lackberg’s latest book, The Lost Boy. Quality work from a quality author. I look forward to reading more of her novels in the future.
