Liked the characters, the mystery and the setting for this story. Once again the mystery is in the summer so many people are on holiday. The setting is modern day sweden, with all its social problems, that i have only heard about. Every book is a page... Read More
Nora linde and thomas andreasson are friends but have a platonic relationship. The relationship is delightfully complicated. Love the recurring characters.
Viv sten writes a good yarn. Viveca sten’s series is excellent. Thanks viveca, for a fun series.
All of the charcters are well drawn, right down to least significant ones. The plots are well developed, as well as trying to figure out ‘who dunnit it’. These two characters are both relatable and believable.
Cons
Too much filler and lots of sleeping, eating, and crying. The narrator's version was painful to listen to. I don't recommend this book or series & that's just my opinion.
