A new Nordic Noir heroine I 'm already rooting for : Leonore Asker is not only a brillant and astute investigator but a fearless , strong and courageous woman who must fight male chauvinism in her own work environment .

Not as suspenseful and engaging as her preceding novels . The audio version has an excellent narrator, Emily Joyce, who was the reason why that I stayed with this stilted story "cousue de fil blanc" .

I agree with the previous comments , a terrible let down . Except for a few interesting quotes and references to classic mysteries , I did not enjoy this book and its choppy style and volatile plot.

A very intricate story with complicated family dynamics and a maze like plot . I stayed with the book because I enjoyed its old fashioned style and its polished prose but it had some lengthy parts arduous to get through .

I always enjoy this author's entertaining , suspenseful and twisty little stories and this one just fits the mold , I devoured it like a candy bar, especially the unexpected last bite. And I agree with a previous comment, I could not do the audio and got the paperback instead.I always enjoy this author's entertaining , suspenseful and twisty little stories and this one just fits the mold , I devoured it like a candy bar, especially the unexpected last bite.

May and Athens' narrating skills help the story take off quite rapidly in spite of a few annoying fillers . Once one of the main protagonist ( young Olivia ) disappears, it is hard to stop listening...Police reports of interviews punctuate the plot , increasing the suspense. It seems that in all her books the author has a frustratingly stupid character, that is why I am giving only 3 stars.May and Athens' narrating skills help the story take off quite rapidly in spite of a few annoying fillers .

It was like reading a Grisham novel but à la Nordic Noir , where social realism takes over the plot and brutal, graphic details make it quite somber .

I'm grateful for the chance to have learned so much about the Vietnam War's aftermath for nurses in this book. I realized that the "un-homecoming " of Frankie was more traumatizing than her actual participation in the war. I caught myself crying several times , an extraordinary book.I'm grateful for the chance to have learned so much about the Vietnam War's aftermath for nurses in this book.
