A finely written thriller haunted by a powerful sense of the struggle between good and evil

1. 2/5

   Kommer aldrig fram

   Det är först från mitten av boken det börjar handla om själva fallet - mordet. Till mitten har det mest handlat om de som bor i byn mordet hände och vår huvudperson. Det är intressant men handlingen är fattig. Det är som om boken skrivits med krav att få ut en bok, de rika skildringar som Connolly visar med bl a The Killing Kind och The Wrath of Angels kommer den här boken inte ens i närheten av.
