Three novels – three successes. First came The Ice Princess, then The Preacher and most recently The Stonecutter. Three crime novels – three huge successes. Camilla Läckberg has taken her place among the Swedish crime writing elite, and she’s here to stay. Considering her relatively young age, Camilla Läckberg is an enormously compelling writer. You would think that she’s done nothing but write crime novels her entire life. A Camilla Läckberg book is guaranteed to be exciting.

The Stonecutter is suggestive and relentless and just plain super exciting.

Läckberg’s first two books, The Ice Princess and The Preacher, were exciting and well-written. But I would have to say that with The Stonecutter she has grown more polished and has established a powerful identity as an author. She is making ever-swifter progress through rough territory and very soon can be included among the group considered to be Sweden’s top crime authors.

And this is really good. Sharp, exciting and well on a par with other authors in the genre. I can’t wait for book number four about Hedström and his friends on the west coast. Superb, Läckberg!

The story, which finally catches up the murder investigation and thus the present day, is very skilfully told and the approach works well. Overall, to me this is Läckberg’s best book.

Läckberg’s job is to make the reader pleasurably uncomfortable – one of her ironclad skills. This latest novel (translated by Steven T Murray) adds another level cannily designed to unsettle us: a measured examination of the elements of determinism in human nature, and the readiness to cut loose moral restraint when passionately held desires are frustrated. There is also a lacerating picture of an unrestrained female psyche, both attractive and monstrous. Läckberg may be of little interest to the more salacious British tabloids, but she should be firmly in the consciousness of the readers of this newspaper.
