Ritorno All'Isola by Viveca Sten

What is an homicide if not a puzzle with many pieces that slowly slowly, if investigators are good enough must return at their own place?

This new book by Viveca Sten

Ritorno All'Isola by Marsilio is again another stunning, wonderful book. Set again in the Island of Sandham and Stockholm as protagonists we meet again inspector Thomas Andreasson, but we will also follow the problems of Nora, the ones of Aram.

On Christmas Time a pretty famous reporter, Jeanette Thields, dies all alone, frozen, under strange circumstances. And it's an homicide.

The story appears more complicated than what thought at first.

In these cases no one is innocent or pure and everyone hide something; there is the ex husband of Jeanette fighting for a good cause against the wife; maybe the closest neighbor Anne-Marie; but who knows? This journalist was researching material about a party of extreme right, the leader a woman called Pauline. Who knows? Maybe she was killed by some people of this party because considered not appreciated but felt as a danger.

As you can see the story is pretty complicated, and not just Jeanette will lose her death. What we will learn reading this book is that reality after all is more complicated than what appears at first and motivations for a gesture the one of killing the most diversified.

It's a story of reputation, fear, shame, "errors" committed in the past.

This book is interesting because traces also the portrait of the political situation of Sweden with right parties fighting against immigration, trying to spread the word that difference is dangerous, causing in this way a lot of a problems at immigrants and ruining the peace, serenity and stability of a country in a multi-culturalist reality.

A book that you must read! Quick, interesting, as all the ones written by Viveca Sten are.

Highly recommended.

I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
