Description
A local woman is killed in a tragic car crash, but while the victim's blood contains high alcohol levels, she rarely drank a drop. Meanwhile, a reality TV show begins shooting in Fjallbacka, and as cameras shadow the stars' every move, tempers flare. When a drunken party ends with an unpopular contestant's murder, all eyes turn to the cast and crew. Could there be a murderer among them? The ratings spike as the country tunes in to a real life murder mystery.Detective Patrik Hedstrom finds himself increasingly unable to focus on the strange circumstances of the first case, but what if that holds the key to a series of other unsolved cases across Sweden? Under the unforgiving media spotlight, Patrik tackles his most challenging investigation yet.

      • content: First, it looks like a single-car accident killed the drunk driver--but the driver did not drink. Then, a participant in a reality TV show is murdered. Soon, Detective Patrik Hedstrom and his colleagues find themselves in pursuit of a killer. Narrator Simon Vance is a master of his craft. Even his pauses build a sense of character or place. His voice captures the essential moods and emotions of the story's many characters--the longing of the lovestruck, incompetent police chief; Patrik's exhaustion as the case drags on; the sadness or aggression of the various reality show participants. This book, part of a series, emphasizes character. Vance's abilities enhance author Camilla Lèckberg's own considerable authorial gifts. G.S.D. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

        February 4, 2013
        In Swedish author Läckberg’s engaging, if subpar, fourth crime thriller set in Fjällbacka (after 2012’s The Stonecutter), Det. Patrik Hedström investigates a local woman’s death in what appears to be a D.W.I. accident. Some things don’t add up, like the off-the-charts alcohol level for a victim, who everyone says never drank. Meanwhile, the battered corpse of one of the cast members of a reality TV show filming in Fjällbacka surfaces inside a garbage truck. Läckberg skillfully handles the ensuing probe—which will stretch over half of Sweden and into crimes dating back decades, including the abduction of a young brother and sister from Fjällbacka—as well as the domestic dramas dominating the life of writer and new mom Erica Falck, who is soon to wed Patrik. Less successful are the florid chapter-opening flashbacks and the puzzle’s farfetched solution. Hints of the next installment’s plot promise a return to form. Agent: Joakim Hansson, Nordin Literary Agency (Sweden).

        June 24, 2013
        Inspector Patrik Hedstrom of the Fjällbacka Police Department returns in this latest tale of Swedish small town murder. A tragic car accident leaves a local woman dead and alcohol abuse seems to be the reason for the crash. But, from all accounts, the victim wasn’t a drinker. And post mortem evidence leads Hedstrom to suspect foul play. But before he can fully begin his investigation Fjällbacka is thrown into chaos when a popular reality TV show begins filming there. And, when one of the show’s young cast members is found murdered, Hedstrom and his team find themselves stretched to the limit as they search for the truth behind both deaths—a search that will take them well outside the confines of their little community. Simon Vance’s smooth, leisurely reading fits well with Läckberg’s prose, and capably draws the listener into the story. Vance effortlessly handles Swedish pronunciations and his dialogue is delivered with just enough vocal distinction to avoid confusion, but simple enough to avoid sounding forced. A Pegasus hardcover.
