A review by constantreader471
The Lost Boy by Camilla Läckberg

3.0

This is a dark tale of murder, mixed up with cocaine use, wife beating and police searching for answers to two murders. The plot moves along very slowly, as Patrik Hedstrom and his crew of police detectives try to piece together how the two murders are connected. There are a couple of subplots, a million dollar renovation of a coastal resort with a manipulative woman in charge of finances and a historical tale of unexplained deaths linked to present day ghost stories. While the ending did resolve all the plots, it took a long time to get there. There is more than one suspect, so the suspense holds throughout most of the book.
Some quotes: "Because it's said that those who die there never leave the island."
Police bureaucratic speak: "That's not something that we can confirm or deny."
I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free ebook in return for an honest review.
