Suspenseful and dark. My favorite kind of Nordic noir.
Just discovered Theorin's books, and I'm hooked. Appealing characters and complex plot. Coincidentally, there's a t.v. series (Pray, Obey, Kill) set in the same small Swedish town, adding to the atmospherics.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
