First time I have read this author. It was an interesting mystery, and when the main character, Sibylla is accused of murder, it becomes fascinating. This homeless women who lives in and around Stockholm must pit her wits against the police force and some would be friends. The action becomes a fearful game of hide and seek. Great escape read.

This was actually quite good. I knew it would probably play out this way so was satisfied when it did.
