If you want to find some crime stories to read. This book can help with the craze. This series also will help with your craze for crime and historical events. This book is called The Red Ribbon. It deals with historical events evolved around clans and the courthouse tragedy in one county.

This story is slow when you begin. Though, it does get better as you read. The plot is more interesting once the action starts. The main characters are a bit interesting. The clans are more telling. Hearing about the story of a father's death and how it connected in the book. It brings out the more about the historical events of the true crimes and what happens at the courthouse that triggers it all.

Ava and Jeremiah seem to be pulled into trouble that may have all started with a kiss. But who kiss starts a feud between families and clans? Ava story reporting that starts it when there a rift.

This was a nice, quick read. I read it in between the Snowman, and the Leopard. This is considered the second in the 'Blood on Snow' series, which features the Fisherman, Oslo's main Crime Lord. It was a nice break from Hole.

This was a romance novel that was masquerading as a Scandinavian crime novel. It took me forever to get through, and I don't think I'll be reading anything else by this author. I was so disappointed, because it had so many good reviews.

I haven't been able to get into this author either. Sorry you didn't enjoy this one.

I read this book in college back in 2004. I really enjoyed it, as I do all books involving true crime. This book was exceptionally intense becasue of the sensitive subject matter, i.e. the serial killer being a young boy. Very good read.

Good plot twist (0 more)
I really enjoyed this film, in some ways it feels like 2 films in 1. The acting is good, it's gritty and turns quite dark in content. If you like cop, crime thrillers with a difference check this out.
