As red as blood & As white as snow av Salla Simukka

The first story in the thrilling Nordic crime series The Snow White Trilogy, an international success published in 52 territories worldwide and soon to be a Hollywood film. 'Fans of Nesbo and Larsson won't be disappointed' Publishers Weekly The streets of Finland are frozen and white with snow. And nothing is as red against snow as blood ...Seventeen-year-old Lumikki Andersson is hardly your average teenager. She lives by herself in the city of Tampere, Finland, and has a firm rule to mind nobody's business but her own. But that rule is put to the test when she happens upon five hundred washed euro notes hanging up to dry in her school's darkroom, and it is shattered once Lumikki realises who owns them. Caught in an increasingly tangled web of deception, corruption and danger, Lumikki finds herself navigating Tampere's dark underbelly in her quest to expose its shocking connection to the international drugs trade. Lumikki is smart, but is she smarter than a master criminal? Can she bring down the infamous 'Polar Bear' - or will she become another one of his victims?

Jag gillade den här boken. Den gick väldigt snabbt att läsa och berättelsen kändes trovärdig.
Karaktärerna var bra gjorda och utvecklades under berättelsens gång, vilket jag gillade.
Dan var väldigt spännande och svår att lägga ifrån sig.

The second story in the thrilling Nordic crime series The Snow White Trilogy, an international success published in 52 territories worldwide and soon to be a Hollywood film. 'Fans of Nesbo and Larsson won't be disappointed' Publishers Weekly Lumikki Andersson may be innocent, but she's no Snow White ...Three and a half months have passed since Lumikki was left for dead in a snowdrift, a bullet wound in her thigh and frostbite creeping into her skin. But the scorchingly hot streets of Prague in summer provide a welcome contrast to that terrifying time, and now Lumikki just wants to move on - forget the events of the past year - and escape her parent's oppressive concern. She's alone again, which is just how she likes it. But Lumikki's peaceful solitude is about to be shattered. She is approached on the street by a nervous young woman, who, unbelievably, thinks she might be Lumikki's long-lost sister. Lumikki is unconvinced - although Zelenka's story seems to ring true, there's something weird about her. Something jumpy, and suspicious. And it turns out Lumikki is right to be wary, as Zelenka is part of a dangerous religious cult. On the run for her life again, Lumikki must once more draw on all her powers of resolve and strength if she is to survive.

Jag gillade inte den här lika mycket som första boken, men den gick fortfarande snabbt att läsa. Det kändes som att det gick för fort och det hände egentligen inte så mycket förrän alldeles på slutet.
Den var dock helt okej, men första boken var snäppet bättre.

Första meningen: Shirley Manson's voice flowed into Lumikki's ears, assuring her that she only listened to sad songs, only found comfort in black nights and always loved bad news.
