A wonderfully complex main character makes this murder mystery a psychological study as well while she helps investigate a decades-old family secret and stumbles into a larger and more cynical series of deaths.

Set in the author's native Sweden, this book kept me glued to my mp3 player and anxiously awaiting for the next installment which will be published in the U.S. at the end of July.

One of my new favorite authors--too bad he recently died after writing the third book in this series.

(I re-read this for a book discussion and found it to be even better the second time. Brilliantly plotted!
