review 1: i read this right after the first in the series and the similarities were pretty obvious. a different case, but the same procedure for solving it - winter relies on his shady contacts, there's a tip from a citizen (that also takes forever to come to light, yet we know about it for awhile), some personal life vignettes about winter that i just cant seem to care about, and a really cloudy unsatisfactory ending. i know that the fourth in the series is supposed to be the best one, but i wanted to "read them right"...i wont be clamoring to read #3 just yet. solid but there's so much swedish crime novels on my to read list to waste time on some that are so-so.
review 2: This second in the Erik Winter series confuses us with mothers and children through several genera... moretions. A woman is found murdered and dumped in the woods with nothing to identify her. The story moves backward and forward in time, and from Sweden to Denmark and back, as Winter tries to uncover the identity of the victim and determine what happened to her daughter. I'm continuing to enjoy the Winter series. less
