Open Grave
Open Grave: A Mystery | Kjell Eriksson
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Already a star in Europe and the Nordic countries, Kjell Eriksson has American critics raving. In this new book in the Ann Lindell series, Professor Bertram von Ohler has been awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine. This news causes problems in his otherwise quiet upper-class neighborhood. Not everybody is happy with the choice of winner. Mysterious incidents start to occur. Boyish pranks say the police, but what follows is certainly not innocent amusement. Police inspector Ann Lindell becomes involved in the case and immediately is transported back into her own past. Eriksson has been nominated for the Best Swedish Crime Novel five times. Open Grave, the sixth book in his critically acclaimed and internationally loved series, is a chilling novel about renunciation and revenge.

Terribly boring book, I‘m afraid. The plot was uninspiring and all over the place. Characters were thinly connected in a way that was supposed to be shocking, but with such a boring story I didn‘t really care in the end. I think this was supposed to be somewhat of a murderer mystery. But it just ended up being a bit of a gossip column and a “day in the life”. Just an odd collection of people and snippets of their lives.

This one was slow to get started and you're probably about 1/3 into it before Detective Inspector Ann Lindell is even mentioned. AND the murder hasn't even happened yet. Most of the book is the set-up to the murder which was a bit unorthodox, but I enjoyed the different approach and story-telling.
And I love that I read this when the cover COMPLETELY coordinated with the leaves falling from my gorgeous maple tree🤓🤓🤓🍁🍁🍁

This is a book to be favored - not rushed. I liked that this one focused on the story and characters and didn't rush to solve the mystery. And finished one book and onto the next. Love vacation reading :-)
