5.0

Usually I'm not a fan of Scandinavian mystery but the blurb seemed unusual so I requested this book.
It's darker than what I usually read but I couldn't help falling in love with this book and Helga.
Helga is a very great character, strong and wise, and the other characters are well written and fleshed out.
The plot is engaging and atmospheric, I couldn't put this book down, the setting is detailed and fascinating. The only issue was the final that seemed a bit rushed.
The mystery was very good and it kept me guessing till the end.
I look forward to reading other installment in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quercus Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
