Welcome to Litsy!

Story follows a journalist, writing about a series of unsolved killings in Sweden. Alternating through the years, through the eyes of a father and son duo of police officers. A character driven plot, weaves a wonderful tale of murder, tortured souls, and a desire to know the truth. 5 ⭐️

Crime , serial killer , set in Sweden. Good writing and a steady pace all the way through. I guessed the ending , which is most unusual for me 🤣. There‘s a fair bit of philosophising too and nature, which I enjoyed. I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Thanks @batsy for recommending this writer. I‘m off to start another by him now .. Under The Storm. 👍🏻❤️

This is a complex murder mystery which captivates and keeps you guessing. This is book 2 of a series translated to English. “This is a haunting, cinematic novel about the legacy of violence and a community's collective guilt by one of Scandinavia's most celebrated young crime writers."

Oh I think I judge my mysteries too harshly. But again this #Doublespin was a so-so soft pick. I really enjoyed the plot and Sweden setting. A cop and his son who follows in his footsteps are wrapped into story of unsolved rapes/murders. But oh, so overwritten. This is debut novel. The author was just trying to be too….deep? Literary? There are many hilarious sentences . Get over yourself. Focus on the story!

Looking forward to diving into this one! Sitting on the boat watching ospreys fish and woodpeckers peck.

When a woman is murdered in small town Sweden, it doesn‘t make much of a stir, as it happened the night of the PM‘s assassination. But then a second woman goes missing. We see the crimes and resolution through the eyes of a writer digging into the cold case years later. Well executed mystery with some great plot choices.

So much more than a crime book. It also looks at the way a cop can become obsessed with solving a crime and the guilt that comes with that.

As won the Swiss Crime Award. Will publish in the USA on January 3, 2023.

11th book for #Winterreadathon and last book for 2022.

I like my Scandinavian noir pretty dark and this falls into the lighter end of acceptable. So I'm definitely giving it a pick. It did feel slightly too long. A writer moves back to his hometown and starts poking around in some old cold cases. You should give it a try if that sounds like your jam.
