Second in the Swedish noir series featuring once-upon-a-time lawyer, Rebecca Martinsson. If proof were needed that even in midsummer, when the sun shines unceasingly, that everyone in northern Sweden is depressed, this is the book. Martinsson is still recovering from her mid-winter attack inside her mother’s isolated cabin that ended with her killing three men and nearly perishing herself. Still in a psychological stupor Martinsson returns to her hometown village – Kiruna – her mother’s abandoned, shot-up house, and all the depressed people in town only to learn another priest has been murdered. (How many murdered priests can there be in a small Swedish village?) Martinsson helps solve this murder, too. If I were a Kiruna priest, I would start thinking about converting to Islam, Buddhism, anything!, lest I be featured in any of Rebecca Martinsson’s subsequent four books.
