5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent thriller, April 5 2004

By	Linda Oskam "dutch-traveller" (Amsterdam Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Missing (Hardcover)

Sibylla Forstenstr�m is the daughter of a rich but insensitive merchant and his wife. After a depression and an unwanted pregnancy she flees as an 18 year old girl from her family and the institution where she is kept. She starts to live as a homeless person and is capable of taking rather good care of herself for 15 years. But then things go wrong: she is wrongly accused of murdering a businessman and while she hides from the police three other murders follow. In the end she is capable of unravelling the true cause of these murders with the help of 15 year old Patrik, who she meets when hiding in the attic of a secondary school.

This was a very entertaining introduction to the work of yet another excellent Swedish author of thrillers. Definitely worth a read.
