Prologue lets reader know that strange murders are somehow connected to case of three children adopted separately. But the plot doesn't come together until the very end and a definitely surprise ending. This is the first of a series of novels featuring Freyja, who works with children and young people and Huldar, a detective who in this novel is newly promoted and well out of his comfort zone. But it's not the first I've read about these two, which is lucky, because I doubt if I'd have read more if it had been. It's clever, intricately plotted and the characters are well fleshed-out. But the more I read, the less I believed. Coincidence piled upon coincidence and the murders were committed in increasingly nasty ways. Having read one other in the series, I was eager to read another, but it'll be a while before I have the stomach to do so. Quite a frustrating book in many ways. It felt unnecessarily violent at times, which almost made me put the book down. The main characters, Huldar the police officer and Freyja the child psychologist are not particularly endearing, they weren't fleshed out enough to seem anything more than 2-dimensional, despite various aspects of their lives being drawn out in some rather long and boring passages. They just failed to come to life for me and the reveal at the end seemed pretty weak and rushed, making me think I should have skipped to the end a lot earlier. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The murder was meant as a punishment - but what sin could justify the method? The only person who might have answers is the victim's seven-year-old daughter, who was found hiding in the room where her mother died. And she's not talking. Newly promoted, out of his depth, Detective Huldar turns to Freyja and the Children's House for their expertise with traumatized young people. Freyja, who distrusts the police in general and Huldar in particular, isn't best pleased. But she's determined to keep little Margret safe. It may prove tricky. The killer is leaving them strange clues: warnings in text messages, sums scribbled on bits of paper, numbers broadcast on the radio. He's telling a dark and secret story - but how can they crack the code? And if they do, will they be next? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
