Thank you so much for this and the other "goodies", I'm looking forward to reading it. As my TBR pile is huge, I'm not sute when I will get to it.
Another really good read, gripping and dark.
Being sent as part of the Alphabet VBB, hope you enjoy this as much as I did :-)
The book arrived safely in Berlin! Thanks so much for sending it my way, yorkshire-lass! It looks very promising.

A good read, just found the end not very convincing.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Well, in the meantime I did happen to read another book by the same author (as it fit an earlier challenge) and that one was pretty intriguing, but this was a little less so. The story was dragging, the actual mystery not quite as interesting as it could have been and the ending was just not remotely believeable. I also felt that the previous Finnish translation was a lot more lively than this English one, so maybe the translators played their part in my opinion as well...
