Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Huber's slightly nasal, vaguely Middle-American drawl is a strange fit for a murder mystery set in northern Sweden. I The strategy is mostly effective, though, rendering Larsson's novel about the puzzling death of a priest more familiar to American listeners than it might otherwise appear. In her reading, Sweden is just next door to Michigan, and the aggressive normalcy of Huber's no-nonsense voice brings the terrible conundrum of lawyer Rebecka Martinsson, embroiled in guilt and anger and a desire to understand after an accidental death, to life. Huber makes no effort to sound Swedish, other than pronouncing names and places properly, and in the end, this gives Larsson's mystery a familiar, well-worn feel it might otherwise lack.

From AudioFile

Though this murder takes place in the endless summer of northern Sweden, the plot is as dark as a winter solstice. Larsson's genius is her ability to enter the deranged criminal mind. Rebecka Martinsson, a tax attorney who has certain mental problems of her own, returns to her hometown of Kiruna to assist her friend, policewoman Anna Maria Mella, in the investigation of the brutal murder of the local priest. Hillary Huber narrates this Scandinavian story in perfect English. In fact, no one has any accent at all--which is a bit of a disappointment. The bleakness of the Swedish psyche is laid bare, and it is not a pretty thing. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0 out of 5 stars A new Scandinavian Mystery Writer, April 11 2007

By	Kelly Rossiter (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Blood Spilt (Hardcover)

I seem to have quite a lot of Scandinavian mystery stories on my reading pile these days. I find them very different in tone from English or North American mysteries. There is a kind of formality and perhaps more civility to them. I'm not sure if that comes from their society or if it is a function of reading a work in translation. The urban mysteries don't have the kind of nastiness and grit you associate with Ian Rankin or Ken Bruen and the small town mysteries don't have the kind of fey charm of something by Simon Brett. There is also a very strong sense of place in most of these novels. This seems to me to be true of The Blood Spilt, the second novel by Asa Larsson. I enjoyed this book, but my biggest complaint is that the plot is too close to her first novel, Sun Storms. I should let you know that if you read this book first, then you'll know who committed the murder in the first novel. I always find that annoying in mysteries with recurring characters, but in this case you can see that Larsson wrote herself into a corner and really had to reveal the information, otherwise the behaviour of her main character wouldn't make sense. I'll certainly give her third novel a try when it appears.
