Savage Spring by Mons Kallentoft



Synopsis :

 Spring has finally arrived, filling the Swedish countryside with sunshine and flowers after a long, dark winter. 

 The beautiful weather is lost on Detective Investigator Malin Fors, though, troubled as she is by the unexpected death of her emotionally distant mother and what it might mean for her own fragmented and dysfunctional family. But when an explosion rocks the town square, killing two young girls, leaving their mother fighting for life, and terrifying the entire community, Malin has no time to address her family’s uncertain future. 

 Suddenly the future of her entire city is in danger, and she may be the only one who can save it…
This is what I say :

 Savage Spring goes by another title - Spring Remains.  There are found titles to this series which goes by the season of the year. I have the copy on spring (this one) and another copy on autumn.

 The book started off quite promisingly but did not managed to hold my attention.  I do not quite like Detective Investigator Malin Fors.  She has her issues and maybe I don't know her character well enough, she didn't come across as likable at all.

 What I like is the 'supernatural' elements in the book told from the perspective of the two young girls killed in the explosive.  That was rather unique and we as readers don't really know if it's really supernatural or just a voice that the author wanted the girls to have.

 That was the reason why I completed the book. Otherwise, I wasn't thinking of doing so.
