book review* thanks @readersfirst & @atlanticbooks for a copy of A Grave For Two by Anne Holt to read & review. Iβd give this ππππ ! I highly recommend!
Synopsis:
Selma Falck's personal life and career as a lawyer have hit rock bottom. That is until Hege Chin Morell - Norway's best female skier - approaches her desperate to overturn a doping charge. With two months to the Winter Olympics, Selma faces the seemingly almost impossible task of clearing Morell's name.
However, when a male skier is found dead after a training accident, it becomes clear to Selma that there is something more serious at risk. Encountering corruption, hidden enmity and shady connections, the pattern of recent crimes and ancient sins becomes undeniable. As Selma's race against time begins, she realizes that more lives are at stake... Thoughts: π
Amazing. This book didnβt disappoint: just getting better and better. The main character was complex Selma. A lawyer who had stole money from Jan her client, she needs to help Jans daughter Hedge as she been accused of taking drugs and banned from going to the olympics. If she helps Jan will erase the debt. Selma has lost her husband and children due to her gambling. I think this must be the start of a series because you donβt find out a great deal about the family other than they have washed their hands of Selma. Which is a great cliff hanger as it just makes me want to know more. Selma has a friend who lives on the street with mental health problems and as the case progresses he helps Selma. Other stories are going on in the main plot which has you thinking how does this all fit together? What has this got to do with the story? But you canβt put the book down because you want to find out and it fits together beautifully. As a fellow skier dies and an old friend of Jans is found dead. Selma needs to work out what is happening and how is it all connected to a drug scandal?
