Room 55
Room 55 | Helena Kubicek Boye
1 post | 1 read
In the heart of Dalarna’s shadowy forests, the mind can be the most dangerous place of all.
Sweden’s most notorious clinic for forensic psychiatry Säter is hidden deep among the pines — a place where the country's most violent offenders are sent when prison isn’t an option. For young psychologist Anna Varga, a position at the prestigious institution is the opportunity of a lifetime: a fresh start, a career breakthrough, an escape from her past in Stockholm. But behind the clinic’s cold walls, something is terribly wrong. Patients whisper about Room 55. Anonymous notes appear with chilling warnings. And when a man is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Anna’s dream job spirals into a waking nightmare. Is someone watching her? Manipulating her? And what buried truths is the clinic so desperate to keep hidden?
A twisty, heart-pounding Scandi-noir thriller perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn's "Sharp Objects", Karin Fossum and Lars Kepler.

Mehso-so

Psychology graduate, Anna Varga, applies for a position at the Säter, notorious clinic for forensic psychiatry which underwent a recent scandal. Still, it's prestigious & would be a great career step, so even when Anna arrives at the clinic to start her new post & learns that her predecessor disappeared, she carries on.

Anna is asked to work with a new patient, a man who committed a well-planned murder but claims to have no memory of doing so.

OutsmartYourShelf Her work with him is intriguing but behind the clinic walls, something is terribly wrong. Where is the whispered about “Room 55“, & who is sending Anna the anonymous notes?

Reading this book is a lot like catching sight of something out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn your head to look - nothing is there. There's the promise of a chilling thriller but it's buried under trivial detail, for example, if you removed the character (edited) 3mo
OutsmartYourShelf of Milo from the book absolutely nothing would change in the storyline except for deleting several sex scenes. I have no problem with sex scenes if they add something to the narrative - these didn't.

 (edited) 3mo
OutsmartYourShelf TLDR: Somewhere in here is a decent thriller but it's hidden behind unimportant characters & unnecessary & out of nowhere sex scenes. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Saga Egmont, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
