Synopsis

Dr. Siri Bergman runs a private psychotherapy practice in central Stockholm with her best friend Aina. Since her husband’s death in a diving accident, Siri has lived alone in an isolated cottage outside the city. Terrified of the dark, she drinks wine to steady her nerves and leaves the lights on when she goes to bed, unable to shake the feeling that someone is watching through her windows. When the lifeless body of a young patient is found floating in the water near Siri’s cottage, she knows that someone has been watching her—and he’s coming for Siri next. But she is not alone. With a young policeman named Markus, she begins her own investigation. As Siri’s past and present start to merge and disintegrate, virtually everyone in her inner circle becomes a potential suspect.
 
A breathtaking reading experience, mixing hairpin-turn plot twists with gorgeously lyrical prose, Some Kind of Peace is keeping readers all over the world on the edges of their seats.

Goodreads review by Dawn on January 21, 2013

It seems like every Swedish mystery that I have read contains: 1. A dead/tortured cat 2. A smart female character who is molested but doesn't say anything about it or excuses the behavior 3. A smart female character who does unbelievably stupid things 4. Really bad food (ketchup on spaghetti, gross!) Per......more

Goodreads review by Nick on January 28, 2018

Aspects of this I really enjoyed - it was more 'psychological thriller' than the Nordic crime police procedural type novel I was expecting, but it was very readable and rattled along at a satisfying pace despite not being quite what I expected - plenty credit due to the translation for this, I assum......more

Goodreads review by Tanja on February 18, 2017

With great suspicion I approached yet another Scandinavian crime series. I was prompted to do so after one of the authors, Camilla Grebe, started following me on instagram. I was delightfully surprised. The main character, Siri, is a widow and psychotherapist. She lives alone with her cat in an isol......more
