The plot is good with some neat twists and unexpected turnings. The ending was satisfying on more levels than one and not entirely as I expected.
Alvtegen writes very well. She doesn't waste words and her writing has the clear directness of Ruth Rendell at her best. She's ably supported by Anna Paterson's excellent translation, but a translator still needs a good text to produce a book to this standard. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers such as Ruth Rendell's Barbara Vine novels then I think you would enjoy this book. For more from Stockholm, you might enjoy [[Mayhem in the Archipelago by Nick Griffiths]].
