When a young man and colleague of Sanna’s is found murdered in a storage room of a pharmacy, it brings a police officer from her past back into her life.

There’s an interesting story to be told here, but unfortunately the execution missed the mark. This was partly down to the translation from Finnish, words were used that made zero sense in the context; this lead to what was already a confusing book being even more confusing. The book jumped from place to place and character to character without proper explanation.
