I'm quite a fan of Scandi-crime thrillers but this was pretty slow going. The last 200 pages picked up but there seemed to be a lot of repetition throughout the book where different people were having similar conversations about the situation.
The story starts with top skier Hege Morell failing a drugs test. Her father Jan Morell pulls in a lawyer with a gambling problem, Selma Falck, to save his daughter.
Then the top male skier Haakon Holn-Vegge is also found dead, also bearing traces of the same drug as Hege.
Selma slowly - really slowly - unravels what had happened an who was innocent and who was innocent.
I found there were too many characters - and the character development was done well enough for me to care too much about any of them. There was also a lot of apparently irrelevant information about the Norwegian Skiing federation which I started to skim.
