This was my first dive onto swedish crime novels and I was glad I did. It was a little slow start for me although I believe the english translation was part of the problem. I loved the structure of the book where you read from a different family member for each part. It was a slow build but once you start reading from Stella's point of view things really start to pick up and I could not stop reading.

I needed to know did she kill him and if so why? If she didn't who did? Her character is so intriguing that it added to the story's intrigue. The last part of the book read from the mother's point of view was the trial itself. I was shocked at how the trial played out and I love that the trial was included. The ending was absolutely perfect and satisfying. I would recommend the read!
