REVIEW:
OK, in the crime market, most readers know that the Swede’s have not only come but invaded and conquered the genre in recent years, so whilst a lot of readers tend to know individual writers such as Stieg Larrson, there’s a whole myriad of other talent from Scandinavian Crime Writing within each bringing their own take of blood, crime and lust to the reader.
It’s a great book to sit down with to break up journey time or even a lunch break and will leave you chilled to the marrow as each story gives you that deliciously dark hit that you’ve delved into the pages for. All round a great outing and one that will not only turn heads but give readers a fair taste of authors to look out for.
