Book 5, in the Grens & Sundkvist seriesThis book is by far from being short in fact it is close to 500 pages of intense reading. The plot is multi-faceted and it takes its merry time to spring into action but once started it crakes up tension and our engagement with the novel. Some entering midstrea...
[11:42:27] Bettie: do you like/have you heard of Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström[13:13:52] Mimal: Dån-Eddie spoke very highly of them, apparently very realistic and gruesome crime fiction, I think one of them or maybe both have some connection with the police in real life.
