Publisher Description
The remote resort town of Fjällbacka has seen more than its share of tragedies, but a little girl found in a fisherman’s net may be the worst yet—especially when the postmortem reveals that this was a methodical murder, not an accidental drowning.
Local detective Patrik Hedstrom has just become a father, and it’s his grim task to discover who could have killed a child both he and his partner Erica knew well. He realizes that the solution lies with finding a motive for this terrible crime. Although Hedstrom is no stranger to the criminal mind, he couldn’t possibly predict how this case will reach into Fjällbacka’s darkest heart, spanning generations and ripping aside its idyllic façade, perhaps forever.

“Here’s a youngSwedish writer who’s being hailed as ‘the Swedish Agatha Christie.’ Purists outthere will snort in derision, but Camilla Lackberg is very, very good. Herdomestic novels are outselling those of her late countryman Stieg Larsson, andif she keeps producing mysteries as richly textured and downright breathtakingas her latest, The Stonecutter,who knows? Maybe, one day, we might be identifying Agatha Christie as ‘theBritish Camilla Lackberg.’ The Stonecutter is one of those mysteriesthat ruin a vacation. Take it to the beach and your eyes will be so locked onits pages, you’ll never even know there’s an ocean in front of you.”

Quotes

“Excellent…Läckberg gradually tightens the disparate narrative strands noose-like around her numerous remorselessly dissected characters, her signature reversal revealing shocking and poignant truths about the residents of Fjällbacka, where she herself was born.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“The Stonecutter is one of those rare books that you will be unable to read fast enough, yet you also will want to savor slowly so you can delay the ending.”
— BookReporter.com -
“Thorn [the narrator] is a master of building and lessening suspense by altering pacing and inflections, allowing characters’ inner dialogues to clearly contrast with their spoken words. As the plot draws to a conclusion, Thorn outdoes himself voicing the murderer’s reactions to being caught, convicted, and imprisoned. Another winner from Läckberg.”
— Booklist -
“The hottest crime genre of the moment is Nordic noir and Camilla Läckberg is one of the reasons. Darker, bleaker, and far more sinister than similar American fare.”
