I read the first volume of this trilogy last October. The second volume also gripped me from the start.
The young policewoman Eira Sjödin again has her hands full. Her mother, who suffers from dementia, is admitted to a nursing home, which she really likes. But what to keep and what to take away is a challenge for Eira. She packs together with her mother, but she unpacks everything behind her back. When everything has been moved, Eira wants to clear out the house, but as her brother Marius is in prison (innocent), she is left with everything. On top of everything else, a murder case takes up all her time.
A male corpse is found in the cellar of an abandoned house in the woods. It looks like he was locked up and died of starvation and thirst. She rejoins the investigation team. She soon realises that this murder victim is not the only one and it even looks like it is a serial murder. The worst thing for her is that someone close to her disappears and time is running out to find him alive.
It was exciting from the first to the last page and I'm already looking forward to the next volume.… (altro)

Eira is back. In this book, the case begins when a middle-aged man is reported missing by his ex-wife and daughter. A short while later, a man is discovered dead in the basement of a rural abandoned decrepit house. Two of his fingers have been cut off, but the cause of his death was determined to be starvation and dehydration. The team is running out of clues when they discover that there had been a similar situation in a far northern province. In that case, however, the kidnapped man was discovered in the basement of an abandoned house before he actually died of starvation. Can the team discover who is kidnapping people and locking them in the basements of abandoned buildings before they take someone else. The backstory of Eira and her family continues to interest me.

I wish there were more in the series.
