I got this book through Goodreads' First Reads program! Thank you Goodreads and Amazon!

'Copper Heart' is third in a series, but it works perfectly well as a self-contained, stand-alone story.

Cop Maria Kallio has taken a temporary job in her hometown as acting Sheriff, for the summer. She's a bit emotionally ambivalent about going back to the small mining town she was so happy to escape, and even more emotionally confused about running into Johnny, the object of her unrequited teenage crush.
But things get even worse when an old acquaintance, the free-spirited artist Meritta, is found dead - and Johnny may be the primary suspect.

It's not bad, but it's a pretty formulaic mystery which doesn't transcend genre. There's a murder, there's a cast of characters, all of whom may have some kind of motive for murder, and the investigator does her investigating. Good for light entertainment. ( )

This is the third in the series featuring Finnish detective/lawyer Maria Kallio, and the best of three. The Finnish setting is the key thing that made me keep reading after two rather pedestrian efforts, and in this book that's even more in focus. Maria is filling a temporary post as sheriff in her home town -- a small northeastern Finnish mining town called Arpikyla, which translates into "Scar Town". The town has indeed left scars on many of its residents, including Maria, and the depiction of small town life is very interesting. The secondary characters are also better developed than in the first two novels, where many of the suspects seemed like different editions of the same person. Not so here. The plotting is still relatively predictable (I guessed who did it early on), but the book was distinctly enjoyable. On to the next! ( )
