This book has an atmospheric cover. The book is billed as an epic European thriller to rival Steig Larsson. In my opinion this is overstating the case! It's a perfectly adequate thriller stepped on the bandwagon . The novel is well written with well drawn characters and a logical plot.
Emilie is a newly qualified lawyer asked to work with Teddy who is an ex convict trying to stay out of prison.
A body is discovered with a severely wounded man nearby. Initially is charged with murder but on closer investigation Teddy appears to be implicated.
The book is very well written with thereafter wanting to know what happens. The characters of Emilieq and Teddy are well written and likeable. Worth a read if you enjoy Scandinavian books.
