This book’s atmospheric telling of some odd, nefarious behavior in Sweden, leaves the reader feeling confused, cold, dark, and tired.
A very small town in Omberg, Sweden, is in despair. Its occupants are also in despair. Loss of jobs, loss of income, depressing environment. One of these places where if you don’t get out early in, you probably never will, and will die there. Everyone pretty much knows everyone’s business, though there still are secrets.
One of Omberg’s own, returns to work on a police case and ends up becoming involved in so much more. She questions the town, her childhood, why did she come back? Because, it was felt that she might be able to provide an inside perspective after being born and raised there.
Not revealing any other hot topics of the story, the story picks up in speed near the mid to end. The ending was a bit bizarre and outlandish for me. Not sure what else I felt about the reveal except that yes, it could happen; we all know that anything can happen. Life is full of surprises.
It was just an okay read. Not a lot to be memorable on and to write home about.
