Swedish noir. At least I'm pretty sure it was Sweden. They mention Ikea a lot. Lol. For once, I liked both the writer and the detective in this (such a popular combo) and the mystery wasn't easy to figure out. Per usual, it was a small town with hidden secrets. Probably gonna take a break from all the winter murder now. At least until next week when I read Five! 26 pts #HolidayRead #MerryReaders #WinterGames2020

Based on Litsy ratings, I have an #unpopularopinion on this one, except I liked it. š¤£ It‘s not the over-the-top graphically violent novel typical of the Nordic noir I‘ve tried (like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Rather it‘s more the small town murder with characters who have dark secrets like you get with Ann Cleeves procedurals. Well written, but I do rather feel like I need a shower. TW in spoiler comment.

so-so

Set in #Sweden a woman revisits her past when her childhood friend is murdered. Together with her new lover (also a childhood friend who is now a police officer) they start digging into the past. Lots of characters, scenery, snow, cooking, and plot make this a typical Nordic Noir but not the best one in the genre. Enjoyable though.

Camilla Lachberg is one of my favorite Nordic Noir novelists. Tatiana de Rosnay is a French/British author, but most of her books are written in French and then translated.

#BFC28 week 3 check-in. This week I realized that I need to focus on one habit and go bigger on it. So I walked just over 19 miles this week. I did 2 of my workouts. I dropped the smoothies because that obviously wasn't something I wanted to do right now. I listened to 7 books. Walking has been a good habit to develop.

#10) Finally finished this book as part of #ReadingEurope #Iceland. It turned out to be an alright book. I did have trouble getting through the middle, but it picked back up about 2/3 of the way through. There were a few bits that I could guess, but also some that kept me perplexed, so overall enjoyable. @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

And this is where Fjällbacka and Tanumshede are on the map.

The grey/blue line is the border to Norway.

I actually felt a little bad, when Erica talked about summer tourists buying up the houses and turning them into summer cabins when I saw how close to the border the city was. The book was first published in 2003, and I know that in this period a lot of Norwegians was buying up houses along this coast down to Lysekil.

Erica Falck returns home to Fjallbacka Sweden. Her friend Alex has committed suicide. She teams up with Patrik Hedstrom, police, to find the truth. Old family secrets surface and someone committed murder to protect them. Nice debut. Book was slow in the beginning. Ending was a surprise. Interesting characters. Plot twists. Looking forward to book 2. Recommend to those who love mystery thrillers. #Murder2020 4/4

EadieB In The Ice Princess, Fjallbacka seems like a peaceful, beautiful small town which is remote, quiet and calm ā€“ but like the water, there are currents underneath the smooth surface. The book had three psychopaths. Lucas, bully and wife beater, Nils and Jan were two psychopaths in one family. Can't always tell a town by it's cover! Looking forward to the next book! (edited) 5y

AnneCecilie I thought the beginning was slow and it wasn‘t until 50 - 60 p in that I got invested in the story. Fjällbacka seems like a nice place to live, and it‘s hard to believe that anything bad can happen there. I‘m looking forward to the next book. 5y

Butterfinger Here is where I want to vent. How dare these people put fear of gossip over their 10 year old children. It makes me furious. These children had to take care of the problem themselves because Jan, like @EadieB says, a psychopath. The family didn't even offer counseling. She was 10 and going through pregnancy š�š . I wanted to slap those selfish parents. 5y

AnneCecilie @Crazeedi The place do exist and is north of Gutenberg 5y

Crazeedi @AnneCecilie I wondered if it was a real place! 5y

AnneCecilie @Crazeedi I had to look it up š‰ And it looks absolutely beautiful and idyllic 5y

Tove_Reads @Crazeedi Läckberg was born and raised there. Ingrid Bergman had a cottage around there as well. 130 km from Gothenburg. 5y

Crazeedi @AnneCecilie š�°š�° 5y

Crazeedi @Tove_Reads that's very interesting!!! It sounds so unique 5y

AnneCecilie @Tove_Reads It makes sense that Fjällbacka is Läckberg‘s hometown, there was just something in her description of the place and distances between places. 5y

Butterfinger @AnneCecilie @Tove_Reads @Crazeedi @EadieB I wonder if people in her community thought, "Is she talking about me?" Especially the gossiping women. 5y

Crazeedi @Butterfinger that's true! 5y

Tove_Reads @Butterfinger @Crazeedi @AnneCecilie @EadieB Ninni Schulman‘s books are also set in the small town in Sweden where she grew up. She was nervous about their reactions. She says that the most common thing people asks her is if in her next book she could kill someone on their street... 5y

EadieB I think they are an interesting couple and I think the relationship will be good for Erica. 5y

AnneCecilie I like them as a couple. They knew each other for years before Erica moved to Stockholm, maybe that‘s way everything so smooth? 5y

Butterfinger I adore them. I love that Patric has been pining for her. I loved the moment he told her how long it has been. I loved how both of them had insecurities. 5y

Tove_Reads He seems to actually be a real good guy, quite the rare type. I started thinking that it‘s actually not that common to have a couple as the main character solving crime. 5y

EadieB I think Anna will wise up and leave Lucas as he is too controlling. 5y

AnneCecilie I‘m not sure. Women who are beaten and abused, tend to take some time leaving their partner. This seems to be the first time Anna has left, and they tend to go back. I hope Lucas hurting their oldest kid and breaking her arm, was what was needed for Anna to leave him for good. I kept expecting him to show up in Fjällbacka, he seemed like a guy that would to that. 5y

Butterfinger Can't answer. I know. But I will say I was proud that Anna went back to Erica. She definitely couldn't deal with it herself. 5y

Hopefully someone will figure something out for youā€”and SOONā€”and you will have a calm holiday...Sheesh!! And yes, Eadie, we do sound like we‘re in the waiting room, right? But I try to keep it within our series group, ha ha ha! So @Crazeedi ā€” would you like to sit in the virtual doctor‘s waiting room with us? š‚š¤£š‚ 5y

Crazeedi @gradcat @Andrew65 @EadieB I've been complaining much too much lately, but I feel all your troubles! I'd say its cause we're getting old, but I'm not going there! We're still young! š‰š’– 5y

Tove_Reads @Crazeedi @gradcat @eadieb @andrew65 You need to read more! This is what Doctor Me prescribes! 5y

EadieB @Tove_Reads I like that medicine and it‘s easy to swallow! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I take plenty of that medicine! š“ @Tove_Reads 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Best medicine there is! 5y

gradcat @Tove_Reads Thank you for that perfect remedy...I‘m looking so forward to our #NordicNoir reading in 2020! 5y

gradcat @Crazeedi I know I‘m old, and I‘m sure you‘re right in my case!! (But sometimes I think I‘m still in my 20s!) š‚š¤£š‚ (edited) 5y

AnneCecilie When do the discussions start? I see that Jussi Adler-Olsen is the first week. Does that mean discussion on the 5th or the 12th? 5y

Tove_Reads @AnneCecilie 5th. I will finish a book first and then post stuff on Litsy. 5y

AnneCecilie @Tove_Reads Thanks. Then I‘ll have the book read by then 5y

1. The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg immediately popped into my mind š“
2. Frozen, and ditto the above (however, I never saw the movie & I hate that damn song that was everywhere for a whileā€”sorry!) šˇ�
3. Baby, It‘s Cold Outside by Esther Williams (which I understand is now considered sexistā€”I can‘t help itā€”I‘m so suggestible!) šˇ¼

so-so

I‘m relatively lukewarm about this mystery. The writing was ok, however it was translated so maybe that‘s where my issue with the book lies. I wasn‘t moved in any way by the plot line. I‘ll the second book a chance and hope that it improves.

Some reading and some reviewing. The reading is winning.

Book 1 of the new year done! It was an interesting little town with a murder mystery. I did not see the end coming. It was a bit of a surprise. I am usually very good at guessing.

Laughing my a** off at this love scene. This is the funniest part!
ā€...but most alarming was that he discovered he still had his socks on. It was hard to look like a sex god with white tube socks...ā€¯ LMAO!!š‚š‚š‚
