Changes

I don't read a huge amount of crime books, as I've been disappointed too many times by uninspired mysteries and flat climaxes. Dean has restored my faith a little here though – keeping the plot tightly twisting throughout, leading to a climax that's tense, thrilling, and hugely satisfying. I'll be very excited to see what Tuva Moodyson does next – I just hope whatever it is keeps her in the small town of Gavrik, as I grew oddly attached to the small town of strange characters, so expertly created by Will Dean.

Many thanks to the publishers, and for further reading I recommend [[The Snowman by Jo Nesbo and Don Bartlett (translator)]] for some similarly well written Scandi-noir, packed with intriguing characters and tense mysteries. You might also enjoy [[The Teacher's Secret by Suzanne Leal]].
