REVIEWS
This series is so thrilling and while each book has a clear resolution, the overarching storyline involving Sofia, Fredrik and the others continues, as well as the hunt for Fredrik’s brother Niklas. This, and how incredibly skilfully the author builds up the tension around every crime keeps me hooked. I’ll definitely continue to devour the High Coast series. I need the next book now!
