This is a first rate page turner! I stayed up way past my bedtime because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep until I knew the outcome of the story. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the author threw in some new information and I realized that I was totally wrong. I had no idea who the 'bad guy' was until I read the name in the book and even then I wasn't sure if it was correct or just another red herring.

The book starts with a one night stand between Rebecca, a brilliant cancer researcher and Ragnar, an unemployed trader who is very intelligent and a bit neurotic. When Ragnar wakes up in the morning, Rebecca is gone and he has no way to get in touch with her. Not too many hours later, the police come knocking at this door because Rebecca is missing and he was the last known person to see her alive. After that it's a race to find Rebecca or her body. There are several groups of people looking for her and as the number of dead bodies increases, you just don't know who is responsible.

I definitely enjoyed this novel and the second guessing that it caused right up to the very end.… (més)
