I found it hard to get into at first but the more I read the better it got. It gave three points of view mum dad and daughter. I wasn’t sure how it would end but wasn’t disappointed .

Nicely filled with twists making you second guess everyone the whole time. A good story. Draws you into the family emotions as well.

Brilliant read. A domestic twisty drama told from three POV. The dad is a Pastor, the mum is a lawyer and then there’s Stella, their daughter. Strong willed and intent on doing things her way. She dreams of a big trip to Asia and is working to save for the trip. The only thing standing in her way is the pesky business of being charged with murder!! The story explores ethics and morales and how far you would actually go to protect your loved ones. Highly recommended.

I barely made it to the third chapter.
It's well known in writing that every sentence shouldn't start with "I", "I did this" "I did that". I mean come on it's one of the first things you learn in school!

Wish the writing was better as storyline sounded interesting but if you have half a brain you'll give up on this failure as quickly as I did.

A Scandinavian noir novel telling the story from the points of view of Adam Sandell, a pastor for the Swedish church and his wife Ulrika and his teenaged daughter Stella who has been arrested for the murder of her boyfriend. The story tells of their early family life and goes back and forth from the past to the present. Brilliant legal thriller and how the family copes together. I enjoyed this immensely.

What an amazingly talented author this is!!!!!!

We read the story from dad, daughter and mum's POV which I found fascinating. Dad is a Pastor, mum is a lawyer and their daughter, Stella, is a teenager who definitely has a mind of her own.

Stella is accused of murdering a man 15 years her senior. Her mum and dad struggle to understand why she is a suspect. Their morals are tested to the limit and how far will they go to protect her.

I was totally drawn in to this story, my mind was spinning throughout with all the twists and turns. An edge of your seat, nail biting story for sure. A MUST READ in my opinion.

Adam and Ulrika have a fabulous life. He is a Pastor and she is a Lawyer. They have a high spirited daughter, Stella. Her dream is to go on a trip to Asia but she is arrested for murder. How strong can they be as a family?

This book is split into three POV and that makes it more enjoyable understanding how the three characters all weave their tale together. This was my first Scandi read and it was very enjoyable. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
