This domestic suspense novel set in Sweden is very well written, and the translation from Swedish to English is excellent. A married couple (husband a pastor, wife a lawyer) find their eighteen year old daughter puzzling. This is not so unusual, perhaps. Her arrest for the murder of a well-known man in his thirties, however, is very unusual. The night the murder happened, the daughter was out late and her parents didn't know where she was. However, the father woke up when she arrived home and saw her slip into her bedroom. When his daughter is sent to trial, the father/husband/pastor faces a huge question: should be say his daughter arrived home earlier than she did, using his status as a pastor to help away the jury into believing him, to save his daughter?
