The Second Deadly Sin
The Second Deadly Sin | Asa Larsson
5 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Asa Larsson 's Rebecka Martinsson series was included on a list of Top Mysteries Every Woman Should Read by Oprah Winfrey, who called Rebecka Martinsson a "brilliant, believable" female detective. Now in The Second Deadly Sin Rebecka Martinsson's courage to the test once more in her most twisted and unpredictable case yet. After successfully tracking down and killing a rogue bear in the wilderness of northern Sweden, a group of hunters is shaken by a grisly discovery when they dress the bear carcass: human remains in the stomach. Far away in the remote village of Kurravaara, an elderly woman is found murdered with frenzied brutality, crude abuse scrawled above her bloodied bed. Her young grandson, known to live with her, is nowhere to be found. Only Kiruna prosecutor Rebecka Martinsson sees a connection between the two events, but thanks to the machinations of a jealous rival, she is dropped from the case. Continuing to pursue answers in an unofficial capacity, and with the reluctant assistance of her friend and police inspector Anna-Maria Mella, Rebecka stands alone against a ruthless killer. At the root of it all is a horrifying, century-old crime, the tendrils of which continue to hold the small community in their grip.

The 5th Rebecka Martinsson book, and this is now one of my favourite series with great characters and plots in the North Swedish Town of Kiruna. Here, a body is found + hidden in the victim's frightened grandson. There is also a plot from the early 1900s around the mine owner who built the town and his affair with a young woman. As Rebecka is pushed out of the investigation by an old foe, she sets off to look into things herself. A page turner

I'm #guilty! Yes, I have started hoarding books again. I had this habit under control, until Litsy.

A #TBR won't work, #HardLessons I've learned over the past year - I will never stick to a TBR because I'm fickle. 😉

I had to wait until the children were off to school before I could open this #cupidgoespostal letter.

Thank you Gloria, @BookishMarginalia, for hosting.

Thank you Martta, @Martta, for this wonderful parcel. I especially liked the small notes you put into the books.

LeahBergen 😍😍 8y
Martta Glad you like it! 8y
julesG @Martta Oh yes! Well-chosen books. I've wanted to get into Scandinavian novels again and the Thirteenth Tale is on my TBR. Really good. I might even use Purge for my #LitsyAtoZ 8y
Martta Oh good! I was a bit nervous choosing books for you. Wasn't sure what kind of books you liked. So I bought that Thirteenth tale to make sure there was something you really wanted to read. Purge is one of my favourites but it is a dark read. 8y
julesG @Martta It's always tricky to select books for a stranger. Dark read sounds good, I've had too many mellow stories lately. 8y
