The Crow Girl by Erik Axl Sund

Description from the Goodreads:

" It starts with just one body – the hands bound, the skin covered in marks.

Detective Superintendent Jeanette Kihlberg is determined to find out who is responsible, despite opposition from her superiors. When two more bodies are found, it becomes clear that she is hunting a serial killer.

With her career on the line, she turns to psychotherapist Sofia Zetterlund. Together, they uncover a chain of shocking events that began decades ago – but will it lead them to the murderer before someone else dies?"

This is another book I have had on my to-be-read pile for too many years than I should have however, I think I should have left it there because this one just wasn't for me.

For a start, it's sooooooo long and whilst this isn't always an issue, it is when, in my opinion, it doesn't need to be.   It starts off really well but then dissolves into a convoluted and unrealistic mess. While the initial murder mystery is intriguing, the subsequent plot twists and character developments are implausible and frustrating.

Now, this is just me ... there are loads of really positive reviews of this book so don't take my word for it and give it a try ... you never know, you might love it!

Thanks to the authors, Random House UK, Vintage Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book and I'm sorry it just wasn't my cup of tea.
