Review: Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson
Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson
Another Swedish author presents a most compelling mystery.
When a sleeping child disappears from a train full of
passengers leaving behind a distraught mother, Inspector Alex Recht and his
team of investigators are given the case. When the child is found dead with the
word “Unwanted” on her forehead, everything changes.
Investigative Analyst Frederika Bergman goes about things
much differently than investigator Peder Rydh. As the tale unfolds, the author
lets us in on the private lives of each of detectives as well as the
backgrounds of the murderer’s accomplices. The reader is allowed to follow
along with the investigation—the questioning of every person who might be
involved or know anything about those close to the mother.
The case escalates when an infant is stolen out of its
carriage and discovered dead with “Unwanted” on his forehead.
Though this is a mystery about a serial killer, it is much,
much more, giving insights into each of the main characters, what influences
have shaped them into who they are today and how that affects they way they
investigate.
