Synopsis

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 Fjällbacka, 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.

Goodreads review by Dana-Adriana B.

Prima mea carte scrisa de Camilla Lackberg, un still aparte. Per ansamblu mi-a placut, personajele sunt interesante, actiunea (desi nu se poate numi actiune propriu zisa) este si nu este. Patrick, un politist cu experienta unui orasel mic se confrunta cu o crima disimultata in accident de masina. Da......more
