A Memory For Murder is the third instalment in Anne Holt's Selma Falck series. A masterful and gripping Norwegian crime series, layered with twists and intrigue, featuring former lawyer turned private investigator, Selma Falck.
Falck finds herself in the midst of a shooting in a restaurant, which leaves an old friend of hers fatally wounded. Although her friend is a politician, Falk's high profile and troubled past make it possible she was the intended target.
I love the author's descriptive but clean writing style, and the cleverly woven plot which skilfully pulls together multiple strands. It is also great to have such a strong and multifaceted female main character. Falck has an intriguing and chequered past, and the backstory is covered in just the right amount of detail to bring newcomers up to speed without detriment to the story.
