A wealthy murdered couple, the mistress, the housecleaner, the widowed father all come together with six degrees of separation for this domestic suspense thriller. Cleverly constructed relationships between the characters enhanced my engagement with this book.
Bill Ollson is a widow with a young daughter and is on the brink financially. However sad his predicament is, you find he's made some bad choices. Karla, the housekeeper, also in a bid to correct wrongs, makes some dubious choices when she connects with Ollson as his lodger.
Then there is the Woman Inside. Is she an innocent or a Machiavellian orchestrator of the eventual demise of the rich couple? I found myself drawn into each character's development which guaranteed a collision course and the eventual melt-down of one person.
The Woman Inside is a good foray into Nordic Noir and a recommended read.
