"The perfect book for a 5 hour plane ride! A best friend gave me this and a few others as a perfect page turner. <br/><br/>This one kept my mind working and the pages turning through a bumpy flight as Seeck serves up thrills and twists. Well done, a solid 3.5/5. A few plot points I didn’t see coming, but weren’t necessarily explained enough to feel plausible, due to fast pacing, though some were timed perfectly.<br/><br/>A good Nordic detective thriller, and I’d definitely read a sequel."
"This was my first real mystery crime book. I enjoyed it a lot! "
