I hate to say it, but I just couldn't wait to finish THE HIDDEN
CHILD. Not because it was so good, but because for me it was
way too long at 400 pages. I am sure that there are people who
enjoy
Camilla Lackberg's books, but I had to put THE HIDDEN CHILD
down several times to
read another book. I did keep going back, because I was hoping
it would get
better. I am by no means trying to discourage any one from
reading
THE HIDDEN CHILD, but it just was not my kind of mystery book.
The brilliant new psychological thriller from worldwide
bestseller Camilla Läckberg—the chilling struggle of a young
woman facing the darkest chapter of Europe’s past.
Crime writer Erica Falck is shocked to discover a Nazi medal
among her late mother’s possessions. Haunted by a childhood
of neglect, she resolves to dig deep into her family’s past
and finally uncover the reasons why. Her enquiries lead her
to the home of a retired history teacher.
He was among her
mother’s circle of friends during the Second World War but
her questions are met with bizarre and evasive answers. Two
days later he meets a violent death. Detective Patrik
Hedström, Erica’s husband, is on paternity leave but soon
becomes embroiled in the murder investigation. Who would
kill so ruthlessly to bury secrets so old? Reluctantly Erica
must read her mother’s wartime diaries. But within the pages
is a painful revelation about Erica’s past. Could what
little knowledge she has be enough to endanger her husband
and newborn baby? The dark past is coming to light, and no
one will escape the truth of how they came to be . . .
