Summary
Number one international best seller and Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lackberg's new psychological thriller featuring Detective Patrik Hedström and Erica Falck - irresistible for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.
A missing child.
When a four-year-old girl disappears in the woods just outside Fjällbacka, the community is horror-struck. Thirty years ago a young girl went missing from the exact same spot and was later discovered murdered.
A murder.
Back then two teenage girls were found guilty of the killing. Could it really be a coincidence that one of the girls - now a world-famous actress - has just returned to Fjällbacka? Detective Patrik Hedström starts investigating with his wife, best-selling crime writer Erica Falck, by his side.
A community torn apart.
But as Patrik and Erica dig deeper, the truth becomes ever murkier, because it seems that everyone in the tight-knit community is hiding something. And soon the residents must confront the fact that they could be harbouring a murderer in their midst....

Not up to her usual standard
This was far too long and lacked focus with an irrelevant time slip.The narrator was mediocre too

Very Enjoyable
I really enjoyed this murder mystery, there was nothing too gruesome or harrowing. There are alot of Swedish characters names to grasp at the beginning but persevere. I wouldn't give it 5 stars as I thought there was too much detail in some very banal situations and also a plot based in the 1600s which I thought was unnecessary. The narrator was excellent and overall very easy to listen to.

Great book with some good twists
I enjoyed this book for it's multi factional story lines that intertwine throughout the book. It was well read, I think Robin did a great job with the various characters and was able to deliver emotional content as the characters developed. I'm not sure that the title of the book reflects the story itself however. It was a good listen and I would highly recommend it.

Was the editor on vacation?
A novel which needs drastic editing. Particularly annoying are the 17th century flash-backs to a different story which has parallels but no apparent relevance to the main story. Why it was included is anyone's guess. The novel per se could be cut by half and still be too lengthy. Not her best.

Thumbs Up
Lackberg’s characters have a rare warmth and her books are a joy to read/listen to, as on re-entering her world it’s like meeting old friends.
This story is well-plotted and tense. The dog enjoyed some extended walks as I couldn’t stop listening to the unfolding storyline. I won’t spoil it for you, but if you are a fan of murder mysteries, you will enjoy this book.

tedious
I've listened to this author's books before and sometimes have been a bit confused by the number of characters but this is the worst. The three stories in one just don't work and I really don't understand the seventeenth century tale of jealousy and witchcraft and what relevance it had to the other two murders. Also the refugees lessons in sailing and Swedish had no relevance to the two murders and a good editor would have made this a much more readable book. Won't be listening to any more by Ms Lackberg

Not the read it was hyped up to be. Disappointing.
Full of school level clichés and writing style. Disappointing fragmented story with hurried ending. The character of Gösta sounded like Bungle from children's TV series Magpie.....
