The Crow Girl by Erik Axl SundMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very difficult book to read, the themes of sexual abuse, children and incest are something that will give you the shivers. Add a component of mental disease and an unreliable narrator and you are set for a very dark book, even if it is a very good book.
On one side we have a police investigation looking into the deaths of very young boys, led by Detective Superintendent Jeanette Kihlberg; an explanation into the mind of the killer by psychologist Sophia Zetterlund; and a dive into the world of Victoria Bergman, a main character in the story.
This is an omnibus of 3 books, and it has been published separately in other languages. And it is probably better to read them one by one. The plot is so gruesome you might want to take a break between books.
Nevertheless, it's a very good book, full of plots and subplots, with well defined characters.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
