The Dead of Summer by Mari Jungstedt
4.0
This was an excellent read. It is the first book I have read by this author, but I will more of her books.
The book opens with murder of a man in a seemingly random, motiveless killing. The police seem to be getting nowhere with their investigation and though there are many false leads it is not till much later that the loose ends are tied up.
Alongside the main story we are allowed glimpses into the past. One of the qualities I liked about Mari's writing is her feminine insight into a brutal world. As said earlier I will be looking for more by this author.
If you like Scandinavian crime, this is an author to look out for and invest a few hours in her company.
