The listener braces for a story of child abuse and pedophilia when a fisherman hauls up the body of a little girl along with his lobster pot. The dead girl, however, is not the central figure in this mystery, although Det. Patrick Hedstrom is desperate to solve the puzzle behind her death. He knew this child and has a daughter of his own. Narrator David Thorn makes the Swedish names accessible in a way print does not. His tongue glides over the unfamiliar pronunciations, leaving the listener engaged in the story, which stretches back to the 1920s. Even the red herrings take you somewhere you need to go.
VERDICT With the popularity of all things Scandinavian, this is a must purchase. [“Readers of Läckberg’s two previous books will not be disappointed. The author keeps the interest high in both story lines and ties the two together in a disturbing conclusion,” read the review of the Pegasus hc, LJ Xpress Reviews, 4/13/12.—Ed.]
