Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A pretty good book. I love the scenic touches and Ann's unquenched desire to "solve puzzles". ( ) This is the ninth title in a long-running series about an Uppsala policewoman told in a style that is a bit moody, poetic, and character-driven. By this time, Ann Lindell has left the police force and is living in a small town, working for a cheese-maker. The action (such as it is) takes place on an island where her on-again off-again lover lives. While visiting him, and thinking about their future, she learns that a woman who vanished four years earlier was seen in Portugal, and a man who was in love with her when they were teens may have seen something important the day she disappeared. Lindell can't resist digging into it, and begins to wonder if perhaps she would be happy as a police officer on the island, living with Edvard. The characters - especially Nils Lindberg, a man who clears brush when he isn't drinking - and the ways their lives intersect on the small island community are the heart of the book. The mystery itself slowly emerges as the past is uncovered and vengeance is worked out. It's not the strongest in the series, though some of that might have been affected by the change in translators. At times it seems literal meaning takes precedence over more naturalistic dialogue. The ending snuck up on me; I may need to reread the book to figure out exactly why it concluded so abruptly, or whether I was just not paying attention. Good series, not a particularly strong entry, though. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

Four years have passed since Cecilia Karlsson disappeared from the island of Gräsö in Roslagen. When Ann Lindell receives a tip that she has been seen alive she cannot help getting involved, even though she is no longer with the police. The black sheep of the island, Nils Lindberg, has never forgotten Cecilia Karlsson, with whom he was in love as a teenager. And he carries a secret. He may not be completely sober all the time, but he has no doubt of what he saw out on the bay just before Cecilia disappeared. Cecilia's parents are desperate, not knowing what happened to their daughter. Yet their silent house contains many things that have been left unsaid. While Ann struggles to put the jigsaw puzzle together, she is trying to establish herself in her new life together with her lover Edvard who, like herself, is marked by life. At the same time, someone is hiding in a cottage in a remote part of the island. Someone who is looking for revenge... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
