Book Reviews of The Blood Spilt
Book Review: Another interesting Scandinavian author
Summary: 4 Stars
I also think I should have read Sun Storm before tackling this book.
I was impressed with her prose and that is very important to me.
The sideline of Yellow Legs I found fascinating enough to read a bit
more about wolf behavior. It was so poignant. But I don't see why
it was in the book, although maybe I should think about it a bit more.
The Swedish names make the reading confusing for me. Some of the names
are similar and I do have trouble keeping the characters straight, but
that's my problem. The issue of the Hunt Club went way over my head.
Why lisa killed her dogs is repugnant and bewildering to me. I thought
she would have killed herself at the same time when the vet went out
of the room. I don't know why Rebecka was beat up at the end
of the book. I'm exited by Asa Larsson, but I think this book should
have been edited more carefully before publication. I wish some authors
would in the front of the book, list the characters by name with a
sentence about who they are in the book. And at least Yellow Legs had
a happy ending.
Summary of The Blood Spilt
It?s midsummer in Sweden?when the light lingers through dawn and a long, isolating winter finally comes to an end. In this magical time, a brutal killer has chosen to strike. A female priest?who made enemies and acolytes in equal number?has been found hanging in her church. And a big-city lawyer quite acquainted with death enters the scene as police and parishioners try to pick up the pieces....Not long ago, attorney Rebecka Martinsson had to kill three men in order to stop an eerily similar murder spree?one that also involved a priest. Now she is back in Kiruna, the region of her birth, while a determined policewoman gnaws on the case and people who loved or loathed the victim mourn or revel in her demise. The further Rebecka is drawn into the mystery?a mystery that will soon take another victim?the more the dead woman?s world clutches her: a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and, above all, of sacrifice.
In prose that is both lyrical and visceral, Åsa Larsson has crafted a novel of pure entertainment, a taut, atmospheric mystery that will hold you in thrall until the last, unforgettable page is turned
