The Sanctuary, translated into English by Tara Chace, has enough plot twists and personal revelations to keep Ms. Engberg’s growing throng of U.S. followers happy.
The sections dealing with procedure in this book are authentic and compelling: slow, small steps toward knowing what happened. But every time a letter intrudes, the action stops and has to be rebooted afterward ... A tepid mystery that will appeal primarily to aficionados of Scandinavian noir.
