No one will ever take you seriously again, but go for it. You want more than one secret passage? That is hack. That is insulting to the reader and I have no idea why this book was an international bestseller.
In this story nothing was compelling. The love story fell flat. I appreciated that there was an almost normal love story going on in the book. So I was rooting for the love story, but it, like the character studies from Grievance 1 seemed too easy and therefore came across as lazy.
Plus, they have sex 5 times in one night just like in a boddice-ripping romance novel. It was very important to the story. What a piece of shit. Sadly, the book was slow and boring. And because the clues were withheld and paragraphs of info seemed to be totally missing, I have to call this a disaster.
This has to be one of the worst mystery novels I've read so far. In fact, I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be 'mystery'. More like 'character discovers x clue, reader is not told what it actually contains, character suddenly reveals it much later on in a really dramatic, Scooby-Doo fashion'.
And this happened throughout all the book. Then there was the narrative. In the beginning, I thought it was a translation issue. Verbal tenses seemed inconsistent, there was some really awkward phrasing, a lot of events seemed to be mentioned more than once without adding anything.
But no; that was simply the style of the writer. Dull and repetitive. Sometimes really irrelevant descriptions of places, situations or characters were made. Sometimes those descriptions were retold, just because. Then there were the characters themselves: extremely flat and boring. No spark of intelligence whatsoever except maybe the old lady with the garden gnomes , no self respect in any of the female characters, no improvement, no complex way of viewing life.
In fact, all characters seemed to be tired, bored and exasperated of living itself. Sometimes the description of the narrator or of one of the other characters would go on saying that X or Y was like this and like that, when in fact, X or Y would be way too simplistic of a character to be able to hold onto such an image.
As for the mystery itself: once you had all the clues and boy, was there a problem with them being revealed , it was really logical and dull.
No surprises here; no intricate puzzle; just event A leading to event B. Not the best book of the Hedstrom series but it was ok! Not quite what I expected. I think in her effort to avoid a predictable ending, Lackberg chooses an outsider as the killer, which is the reason why I gave this book 3 stars.
Lackbergs has an impeccable writing style, so if you are a lover of the genre you should move on with The Preacher and The stonecutter both of which were just shy of 5 stars. The Writer. It is quite funny how Swedish writers tend to write their books in a batch of three - as a trilogy and Isprinsessen - which literally means "The Ice Princess" in English is the first of the three.
