In the middle of a rainy Swedish summer, a little girl is abducted from a crowded train.

Despite hundreds of potential witnesses, no one noticed when the girl was taken. Her mother, left behind at the previous station, alerted the crew immediately. But as the train pulled into Stockholm Central Station, the girl was nowhere to be seen.

To Inspector Alex Recht of the Stockholm police, this looks like a classic custody row. But none of the evidence adds up and young Investigative Analyst Fredrika Bergman is convinced the case is far more complex than her boss is prepared to admit.

So when the missing child is found dead in the far north of Sweden, with the word UNWANTED scribbled on her forehead, the rule book is finally thrown out of the window.

Now on the trail of a ruthless murderer with a terrifying agenda, will Alex and Fredrika manage to put aside their differences and work together to find the killer, before it's too late?

This is the second title by this author I have listened to and I plan on listening to them all now.
Interesting and complex characters and great mysteries. My only issue with this title was that I got a bit frustrated that the characters hadn't worked out the main mystery when it was pretty clear much earlier. Other than that a really entertaining read.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great holiday reading.

Another great mystery by this author

I didn't like the narrator's different voices and the
story took a long time to become tolerable.

Irritating yet able to listen to

Would you try another book written by Kristina Ohlsson or narrated by Maggie Mash?

Yes to the author

How could the performance have been better?

Voice too dramatic, the main character's voice was painful to listen to as a performance, bad choice for the word actor

Narration made this impossible to listen to

After spending HOURS searching for a new series to commit to, I was determined to see this through. The most painful part were all of the character's voices. VERY, VERY, VERY slow even at plus 25%speed. They all had unnatural pauses in the words and between their words that made listening excruciatingly painful. The rambling, halted slur of a heroin addict would have been more tolerable.
In the excerpt, the narrator's natural voice was good. had we heard the bizarre character voices, I doubt that anyone would buy this book. The story was maddening. The well written parts were fewer than the immature drone of the rest of the story. The story is not worth listening to. Especially given the awful narration. To quote Dr Who, 'Run, run for your life!'

childish characters, s l o w , absurd voices
