review 1: I think Stieg Larsson was a landmark in the history of Scandinavian fictional writing, there has been no author who so intricately weaves the swedish culture with the characters into a pefect spellbound mystery....and like every reader I am looking for next Stieg Larsson and all these authors from Scandinavia know that there is unsatiable demand for his natural successor...one can take any author from Sweden and their proclamations he being the one...Asa Larsson is also one of them....the book starts with a good pace with a right mixture of supernatural/ murder/ past historic convulsions in every character, the writing style is also good....and thats its the author loosed the plot somewhere in the middle of the novel, where one is sure about the ending and the question re... moremains how will it happen.... the second half is a drag and the ending pathetic...a novel better avoided...
review 2: 4th in the series (going to have to wait now for the English translations to catch up with the originals - or learn Swedish!) As before, great on the setting in northern Sweden (in and around Kiruna, in the Arctic circle). Rebecka seems to be more in control (apart from hitting the detective on the head with a shovel at the end). There are some similarities with previous books in the series (the sinister brothers in the woods), and I wasn't wholly convinced that the motive was strong enough, but enjoyed it and want to know what Rebecka does next. The supernatural element works if you can suspend disbelief (rather like the technique which Mans Kallentoft also uses). less
