Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
This book is amazing - my head is still reeling from it. One of the best psychological thrillers I have read in awhile - and that's saying something since that's my favorite genre! This book languished on my NetGalley shelf for awhile - after reading it I keep asking myself why I didn't read it sooner and why I've never read this author's work before!
Taking place in Sweden, this book is told in the voices of 3 narrators. Peter is a detective who is tasked with trying to solve a gruesome murder (and it is gruesome). Peter is estranged from his son and his son's mother and has major commitment issues. Hanne, is a psychological profiler working with the police and dealing with her own personal issues. Emma is a young girl, working in a clothing store, who is in a relationship with the owner of the clothing store conglomerate, Jesper Orre. Peter and Hanne's stories are in the present time; Emma's voice starts a few months in the past and builds up to the present.
I raced through this book - besides being a great mystery with all the requisite twists, I loved the character development of everyone. I literally couldn't put this book down - don't miss it!
