The Darkest Room by Johan Therorin




A decent effort form Johan, maybe not as good as his first offering but still good nevertheless. Again, set on the remote island of Oland, off Sweden, it introduces a family who are happily renovating an old house after moving from Stockholm. Before long whilst the father is away he is tiold there has been a tragic accident and led to believe that his daughter has died in an accident. On returning home he finds that is actually his wife who has drown. A secret room in the upstairs of a alrge barn forms the focus for the people who have died in the area in centuries gone. At Xmas they return and the decest wife returns. All this is intertwined with the story of a gang who are are breaking into empty summer homes and on Xmas Eve they choose Xmas Eve to visit our family. As if there is any room left the accident turns out to have been a murder which also gets solved in a dramtic climax. I was virtually on top of it before I wored this noe out!!! Good read :-)
