The Night Raven
The Night Raven | Johan Rundberg
6 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Mika is not your average twelve-year-old--and she's about to prove it. It's 1880, and in the frigid city of Stockholm, death lurks around every corner. Twelve-year-old Mika knows that everyone in her orphanage will struggle to survive this winter. But at least the notorious serial killer the Night Raven is finally off the streets...or is he? Mika is shocked when a newborn baby is left at the orphanage in the middle of the night, by a boy with a cryptic message. Who is he? And who is this "Dark Angel" he speaks of? When a detective shows up, Mika senses something even more sinister is going on. Drawn in by Mika's unique ability to notice small details--a skill Mika has always used to survive--the gruff Detective Hoff unwittingly recruits her to help him with his investigation into a gruesome murder. Mika knows she should stay far, far away, and yet...with such little hope for her future, could this be an opportunity? Maybe, just maybe, this is Mika's chance to be someone who matters.

Pickpick

A soft pick - I think I got this translated middle grade historical mystery as a Kindle freebie. I don‘t know how popular the series is in Sweden, but I think something gets lost in translation. The pacing is off and the prose is choppy. The ending is so abrupt. However, I liked the main characters and the setting. The main mystery leads to the discovery of other secrets that I‘m sure will be explored in future books.

This was such a cute middle grade mystery book!

I scored this off of Amazon-maybe a First Reads book? It was on my #ReadYourKindle list for this month and I inhaled this in two days.

It's Sweden, 1800's, winter and there's a serial killer on the streets. Orphan Mika and a policeman team up to solve the crime.

Definitely recommended!

2 Christmas books, a Kindle First Pick, and a romance book.

I'm starting the tagged book which is translated from Swedish and is a middle grade/J Fiction book. (My library calls them J Fiction so that's what I'm use to calling this grade level.)

I listened to it while traveling and I think the distractions may have been the reason I just didn‘t get into this one. Maybe I‘ll revisit it someday.
