GoodReads Description.
The remote resort town of Fjällbacka has seen its share of tragedy, though perhaps none worse than that of the little girl found in a fisherman’s net. But this was no accidental drowning . . .

Local detective Patrik Hedström has just become a father. It’s his grim task to discover who could be behind the murder of a child both he and his partner Erica knew well. What he does not know is how this case will reach into the dark heart of Fjällbacka, spanning generations, ripping aside its idyllic façade, perhaps forever.

Before start, I have to point out that this was the second book I read from this author, who already is becoming one of my favorites.

When I start a book of this genre, I want it confused me, fill me with fear but also keep me intrigued and guessing. And of course this one did it. The pace of this book is irrepressible and together with my good friend Patrik Hedstrom I had to take several cups of coffee to stay awake all night Reading. School? that can wait.

This genre has become by far one of my favorites and I feel that Sweden is one of the biggest inspirations for the perpetrators of crime these days. I like that the environment in which is narrated is bleak, and sow some doubt while reading.

Leaving aside the death in which the story centers, we can see what is beyond human limits. Many times we are so blinded by other things that our humanity is becoming increasingly limp and weak.

On the beginning, we have the topic of religious fanatics. Religion is a topic that I do not like to discuss very thoroughly, since it is never-ending and can offend more than one. But this book is carefully and sowing uncertainty among devotion and fanaticism. Even managed to cut family ties.

While reading the book I realized several things I had not glimpsed several times., And the author takes us both in its unstoppable narrative that you can ignore. Creates as real characters so much that you identify with them it will cost much dent in several aspects, including its values ​​and humanity.

The narrative style is superb and well structured, fundamentals and well argued explanations of certain aspects are noted.

One of my favorite characters is Erika whom I have come to take her fondly as it is with most identify myself. Despite being part of a series of books, rare characters are the same except instead of Erika's family and the police.

There is to mention that for those tenacious readers who are looking for something to keep them up all night as it did to me, the Fjallbacka saga is more than recommended to you.

If ever get to read some Camila L., I would love if you let me know to fangir/fanboyling together to discuss by the author of this fandom is a bit small in the country speaks English and Spanish.
