First, it looks like a single-car accident killed the drunk driver—but the driver did not drink. Then, a participant in a reality TV show is murdered. Soon, Detective Patrik Hedstrom and his colleagues find themselves in pursuit of a killer. Narrator Simon Vance is a master of his craft. Even his pauses build a sense of character or place. His voice captures the essential moods and emotions of the story’s many characters—the longing of the lovestruck, incompetent police chief; Patrik’s exhaustion as the case drags on; the sadness or aggression of the various reality show participants. This book, part of a series, emphasizes character. Vance’s abilities enhance author Camilla Läckberg’s own considerable authorial gifts. G.S.D. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
A local woman is killed in a tragic car crash, but while the victim's blood contains high alcohol levels, she rarely drank a drop. Meanwhile, a reality TV show begins shooting in Fjällbacka, and as cameras shadow the stars' every move, tempers flare. When a drunken party ends with an unpopular contestant's murder, all eyes turn to the cast and crew. Could there be a murderer among them? The ratings spike as the country tunes in to a real life murder mystery.
Detective Patrik Hedstrom finds himself increasingly unable to focus on the strange circumstances of the first case, but what if that holds the key to a series of other unsolved cases across Sweden? Under the unforgiving media spotlight, Patrik tackles his most challenging investigation yet.
