Synopsis :
REVENGE CAN TAKE MORE THAN A LIFETIME
In a sleepy hamlet in north Sweden, the local police make a chilling discovery; nineteen people have been brutally slaughtered. It is a crime unprecedented in Sweden's history and the police are under incredible pressure to solve the killings.
When Judge Birgitta Roslin reads about the massacre, she realises that she has a family connection to one of the couples involved and decides to investigate. When the police make a hasty arrest it is left to her to investigate the source of a nineteenth century diary and red silk ribbon found near the crime scene. What she will uncover leads her into an international web of corruption and a story of vengeance that stretches back over a hundred years.
The is what I say :
This book has good potential.
It started off pretty thrilling but as the plot and storyline progress, it weakens at it was very confusing and the plot and storyline get rather unbelievable.
The coincidences that occurred within the plot are rather unbelievable too.
Basically, it could have been a great thriller from the start if the author focus on the investigation. There was a part in the investigation where a young boy was mentioned but then he didn't have any contribution towards the story at all.
The reason for the murder was also rather far-fetched. In fact, there's no reason at all. There was an story of something that happens one hundred years ago but to use that as the reason for the murder? Give me a break.
I was rather excited to read this book but I was so annoyed after reading it. Wasted my 5 days with it.
