The story opened with a scene when lovely grandchildren are leaving Browman's house. When all of them are going, Agneta received a mysterious phone call. One word, 'Geiger', opened the unexpected sequence of events. Firstly, Agneta murdered her husband and ran away in an unknown direction.
Into this strange investigation, Sara Nowak was involved. She's been a close friend to Brownman's daughter in childhood and can't understand why someone would shoot Uncle Stellan, the famous face of Sweden television. Surprisingly police were more worried about the strange disappearance of Agneta - the most controversial character, intriguing from the beginning.
In my opinion, there was a bit too many sexual abuse elements.

Brilliantly written. I was impressed with the construction of the book. All layers are linked together, not interrupting anything. You can find the spy thriller and police criminal, a bit of corruption and politics in one book. You can see how past events can influence the present and future.
'Geiger' definitely brings a spectacular opening, keeping the reader attached from the very beginning to the end. Unexpected events, links between layers build suspense along the way.

Unexpected twist and surprising ending. Phenomenal book, highly recommended.
