Featured Reviews

The mystery of what happened to Maria is suspenseful and the procedural elements of the book are very well done. Even when I didn’t understand some of the things Lena did in her personal life, I loved the way she handled the investigation and all the complications which arose. The investigation goes in circles for a little bit since so many of the local residents didn’t want to tell the police the truth. When everything finally comes out, it was a bit of a letdown considering the build-up throughout the book. However, I enjoyed the characters and the unique setting, and I would love to read additional books in this series.

This is a really good and interesting read. The setting was atmospheric and I thought that the storyline was really good and believable. I read the first book in this series and enjoyed it as well. I hope there are more books to come. This is the 2nd book I have read by this author. It is refreshing to read a book set somewhere a little different and I have been inspired to visit this part of the world.

After all that had gone before it was a bit of a let down. I am hopeful of a third book in this series however, and will definitely be on the lookout for it and I am sure I will enjoy that too.
