Det är både överdrivet, osannolikt och lite för mycket actionhjälte men jag gillar det som en skön avkoppling. Jag tycker att böckerna påminner lite om Jo Nesbös böcker om Harry Hole som också tilltalar mig. In her high heels & tailored suits, public prosecutor Jana Berzelius is the epitome of cool efficiency but trust me. Under the designer duds lurks a kick-ass. In the first book of this trilogy, we learned of Jana’s horrific childhood & how she ended up where she is today. Jana works closely with police to investigate serious crimes & it’s clear from the beginning some of the low lifes they encountered in a previous case have regrouped. What the cops don’t know is one of them has a special tie to Jana. And if she wants to keep her job, they can never find out what she’s done. In alternate chapters, we follow 2 young Thai girls who are forced to become drug mules. With their bellies full of heroin capsules, they travel to Norrköping to deliver the goods but things don’t go as planned. Their story soon becomes entwined with the police investigation into local traffickers & Jana’s private search for the man who can ruin her life. This is an intricately plotted book with several story lines carried over from the first instalment. There’s a large cast of returning characters & their personal lives are developed as the investigation progresses. But what really kept me reading was the story of Jana’s double life. She’s kind of a cross between (Kathleen) Mallory & Lisbeth Salander. By day, her character maintains a professional facade. But when the sun goes down, she becomes the soldier she was raised to be as she seeks revenge on the men responsible for the marks on her body. Information about her past has been slowly doled out & there are some startling truths revealed as she pieces it all together. This adds to the strain of trying to stay one step ahead of her colleagues & you get the sense she’s beginning to unravel. The cold, Swedish setting adds to the goose bumps you get when meeting some of the characters. These are not nice people & you may be surprised when all the “bad guys” are revealed. There are some convenient coincidences but the mystery surrounding Jana was so compelling I was willing to suspend disbelief & be carried along on this wild ride. The author does a good job of mixing the drudgery of real police work with tense action that is not for the squeamish. By the end Jana has a clearer picture of what she’s up against but some major questions remain. I truly have no idea what the author has in store & can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the final book. Highly recommend reading this series in order. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

I'm not a big fan of trilogies of any sort, fantasy, mystery, etc. And while Marked for Revenge is a good read, I'm about ready to find out the ending. which will be revealed in Slowly We Die. ( )
