Sadly, I couldn´t find a picture (or at least not one I dared *borrow*). <br /><br />Beth: I think it is downright foolish, especially as this book is her most solid crime novel so far. <br /><br />Maxine: it is ghastly, isn´t it? But I had seen YOUR review so I had to give the content a chance ;D <br /><br />Patti: well, they won´t find Stieg Larsson in this one which is not nearly as fast paced, but then her books may be more realistic than his.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-14287207575257312922010-06-17T02:02:46.652+01:002010-06-17T02:02:46.652+01:00All of these will soon be in English as US Publish...All of these will soon be in English as US Publishers on the hunt for the next Stieg Larsson.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-87624549395654228022010-06-16T20:37:22.860+01:002010-06-16T20:37:22.860+01:00Oh, wow, now I see what you mean about the pink!

She's also able to build on the characters who she introduced in the previous books.<br /><br />It's not as dark as the English cover would lead you to believe, but also not as "girly" as the pink one!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03744578112191225839noreply@blogger.com
