A young boy is the sole survivor of what turns out to be a long, connected series of murders, and it's up to the dogged prosecutors and police (including one clever police dog) of the Uppsala law enforcement community to figure out what's going on in Asa Larsson's The Second Deadly Sin.
I am a big fan of Larsson's novels, set in rural Sweden and featuring lawyer Rebecka Martinsson, whose psyche is a little fragile after all that has transpired in her previous adventures.
Larsson writes rich, interesting characters, and depicts vibrant slices of life from her own homeland. This sometimes stands in stark contrast to the violence and terror that bursts from the pages at unexpected intervals.
These are very solid mysteries, and recommended for those who want a change of venue in their stories.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library and read it quickly.
