Das Buch erzählt von einem Kind, das aus einem Segelcamp entführt wird, sowie von einem großen Wirtschaftsprozess. Es ist vermutlich ein guter Krimi, aber da ich ungern über Mobbing lese und ebenso ungern in die Gedankenwelt von Pädophilen eintauche, hat es mir nicht besonders gefallen. ( )

Alors que Thomas enquête sur la disparition de Benjamin d’un camp de voile, Nora est procureure au procès pour escroquerie de son père. Une histoire sombre, dont on comprend certaines ficelles avant les protagonistes, ce qui en intensifie le suspens, et aux thèmes très contemporains. Un nouveau volume à cette série à la fois noire et humaine, aux personnages attachants et crédibles et qui, au fil des années, a su s’affranchir de l’influence d’abord très marquée de Camilla Läckberg.

Kirja oli ihan ok. Osittain jouduin pakottamaan itseni lukemaan. En pitänyt oikeussali draamasta, se oli kiusallista luettavaa jostakin syystä. Muuten tarina veti ihan hyvin. Joten kirja saa minulta kolme tähteä. ( )

Nora Linde serves as prosecutor in an economic crime case in which a former partner's key testimony will likely indict. She receives threatening emails. Benjamin, an eleven-year-old boy, goes to sailing camp at his father's insistence. Two other boys immediately begin bullying him, but the inexperienced group leader fails to notice. This boy's father, as the reader knows, is the key witness in Nora's case. Thomas first goes to the camp when a girl disappears. When the girl shows up back at home, Thomas returns to Nacka. The Nacka unit will relocate as part of restructuring soon. His partner Margit received a promotion when he left the force, but she persuaded the powers-that-be to rehire Thomas when he found himself pushing paper in his new private sector position. Thomas' new partner is Aram. When Benjamin fails to show up for breakfast one day, Thomas and Aram go back to the island. Is it a case of a runaway child? Is it a case of bullying gone bad? Is it a case of kidnapping? Thomas and Aram must investigate all this as Nora finds her key witness does not share the same story he told the police once he takes the stand. Her chances of promotion look bleak. At the same time both Thomas and Nora experience trouble in relationships. Thomas and his wife find jobs getting in the way of life. When Jonah takes a flight to Thailand days before the wedding with promises of returning in time, she becomes upset. There is much going on in the installments. I'm tiring of all the personal issues in the novels and wish they would stick to the investigations. However, the mystery and the trial were both satisfying. Both story lines improved over the previous installment characterized by a "stuck in a familiar rut" scenario. ( )

Typisk svensk standarddeckare av alla dessa sk deckardrottningar. Stens karaktär och miljöbeskrivningar känns dock trivsamma så det är några timmars lättsam avkoppling som man glömt när man stängt igen boken. ( )
