Description
In the picturesque coastal town of Fjällbacka, Inspector Patrick Hedström is ready to return to work after a prolonged medical leave. Eager to approach his old duties, he navigates the complexities of his position while grappling with the lingering effects of his illness. As he reintegrates into the rhythm of police work, he finds himself drawn into a chilling case that rekindles both his professional instincts and personal demons.
Strange occurrences begin to unfold as the townspeople whisper about secrets hidden beneath the surface. A murder rocks the tight-knit community, triggering a series of events that lead Hedström deeper into an investigation fraught with danger. With each revelation, he uncovers connections that pull him into a web of intrigue, testing his resolve and forcing him to confront his own vulnerabilities.
As he collaborates with his colleagues, the dynamics of trust and camaraderie are put to the test. The stark contrast between the tranquil seaside town and the dark undertones of the investigation creates a palpable tension, enveloping both the characters and the reader. Amidst the backdrop of stunning scenery and intimate relationships, Hedström learns that the past is never truly buried.
This gripping tale balances mystery and character development, capturing the essence of small-town life intertwined with human complexity. It is a journey through shadows, where the light of understanding flickers precariously, leaving both the detective and the audience questioning the very nature of truth and loyalty.

L'écriture est toujours fluide et agréable, cependant je n'ai pas été pleinement emportée par l'intrigue, qui a pris trop de temps à se mettre en place. D'autre part, j'aurais souhaité que le thème de la violence conjugale soit un peu plus approfondi. Une bonne lecture dans l'ensemble, notamment parce que l'on suit toujours nos personnages auxquels je me suis beaucoup attachée.
