A] rip-roaring sequel ... Läckberg intersperses Faye’s struggle to preserve Revenge and her secrets with scalding scenes from Faye’s youth in the town of Fjällbacka ... This tribute to lusty sisterhood is a must for Scandi noir fans.
Läckberg’s second novel about the brilliant economist who overcame a stifling marriage certainly draws on the strengths of the first: The plot careens at breakneck speed ... What the story lacks in believability, it more than makes up for with soap-opera–level drama and fireworks. A scandal-filled page-turner sure to delight the beach-read crowd.
