Such an interesting book! Outspoken, rough, naked, yet still quite low key in a way too.

A bit to quick to the conclutions and sometimes a bit too obvious, but a good crime debut.

The third book from this author. They are loosley connected, but can be read separately. I like the "feel-good"-vibe with a little bit of sorrow in it. A good summer read.

Det tog lite tid, men nu är jag helt inne i den här!

flickanobockerna Bygger den mycket på den förra? 8y
flickanobockerna Alltså Liv efter liv 8y
ulejo Nej, den är mer en "systerroman". Ursula är med, men den handlar nästan helt om brodern Ted. 8y
flickanobockerna Ok. Älskar Atkinson men kände mig rätt nöjd med den förra boken som den var. Så då låter det ju bra att den här inte är en direkt fortsättning. 8y

Not my kind of book. It was a book club book and i try to give those book a fair chance, but this I gave 50 pages then bailed. Not many in the book club enjoyed it, but liked the idea of the book.

Had hoped for more because of the fab title, but it was just a sweet little nothing.

MyBookLife It is a great title! It draws me to it. But now, I don't know. When I read the plot it doesn't seem to be something I would normally like. Especially since everyone seems to like the title more than the book... 8y
