The Ice Princess by Camilla
Lackberg is another finely-written mystery by a Swedish writer. Erica
Falck has to return to her hometown to take care of business after both
of her parents are killed in a car accident. While there, her best
friend, Alex, from childhood is murdered. Erica, a writer of
biographies, decides she wants to write about her friend and joins up
with the local police detective, Patrik Hedstrom, to find out what
really happened to Alex. Not as fast-paced as Larsson, but an engaging
and enjoyable mystery.
