The Night of the Fire: A Mystery by Kjell Eriksson
4.0
This is the 8th book of the series, but the first I read. I am still new to Nordic Noir. This one was pretty good, but I think I would have liked it more having read prior books before picking this one up.
I have been reading many thrillers and could not pass this one up. However, this was one I did not find myself drawn to, I liked it, But when i would put it down, I did not want to quickly pick it back up. I think it because I was not drawn in fully, but I still liked the book when I was reading.
The main character is retired and lives in a small village. But she still has some problems in her life. Because you cannot have a thriller series without the main character having some type of major flaw. It seems like a lot of the book is drawn from the previous ones, so I was sure I was missing out on a lot not having read the other ones. Of course she is drawn into the investigation about these fires, but she is. told to stay away because danger reasons! which means she is going to go even harder into it...
I think this book was pretty good, but it was not my favorite one. Overall, it works for the genre but dunno if I would pick up more from this author.
