Críticas:
A rich community of characters, dramatic scenes of violence, and a haunting tone. A stunning cliffhanger climax.
You might want to thing twice about reading this at home alone at night.
Läckberg's subtle approach and unique talent for portraying realistically complex relationships creates a sorrowful, harrowing psychological thriller with a cliff-hanger conclusion.
Another sweeping small-town Nordic thriller. It's a thick novel that should delight Läckberg's fans with a rich cast of characters and a surprise ending.
Readers who enjoy works by Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell are sure to like her novels. A pleasurably creepy read. A cliffhanger ending will keep readers clamoring for more of Läckberg's books to be translated into English.
Eerie. Läckberg will keep you guessing.
The Drowning may be [Läckberg's] finest work to date; it's a cold-as-steel chiller that will get deep under your skin and threaten to stay there.
