I found this pretty implausible in many ways, but it was an engrossing read, and the Bangkok sections were especially effective. Well translated. ( )

This is the second in a great series. Good character development ( )

Spännande och välskrivet med en bra intrig som inte är uppenbar förrän i slutet av boken ( )

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK BY A SCANDANAVIAN AUTHOR. ( )

I really enjoyed the book! I like the development of the characters from book to book. Fredrika had developed her skills as an investigator and wants to remain with the police department even though her pregnancy is a difficult one and her married lover is still very married. Peder, a good if undisciplined cop, is even more of a sexist than before and his marriage has broken up though he is still trying to be a good father. Alex Recht, the team leader is till the steady father figure.

Their cases are complicated - what appears to be the murder suicide of a retired clergyman and his wife, and what appears to be the hit and run death of an unidentified foreigner turn out to be tied together in a complex scheme to bring asylum seekers into the country, and to have their roots in a crime long in the past.
