A review by thisbookishcat
The Preacher by Camilla Läckberg

challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

4.25

I'll admit, I was a bit sad that this one followed other characters more closely than in the first book, but, that said, I like that it also gives us a better sense of the dynamics in this little town and indeed in the police force. Do I hope for the next books in the series that there's more of a balance? Absolutely. The only reason I didn't round this up to 5-stars is because I'm so tired of the pregnancy tropes in entertainment as a whole.

That said, I had my guess about halfway through the book and aside from one surprise, my guess was correct, but not for the reasons I initially guessed them for which was really exciting. I am, however, glad this is only fiction because this was horrific in the pychological sense. People suck.

I recommend this if you like Swedish crime novels.
