The Hidden Child by Camilla Läckberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you haven’t discovered Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lackberg yet, you are in for a treat.
Her first three books, in order are:
The Stonecutter
The Preacher
Gallow’s Bird
Had I known, I would have begun with the trilogy in order, but the first book I happened upon was Gallow’s Bird, then I found The Ice Princess, her fourth. Both have recurring characters and it doesn’t really matter what order you read them in as the crimes/mysteries stand on their own. The crimes are intriguing and original and the characters are so realistic that you get sucked into the minutiae of their lives.
The Hidden Child was every bit as good as the others I’ve read. This one connects an incident in World War II with a current murder and a mysterious trunk found in the attic.
