A great Second Mystery in the Series by Marklund

Another gripping story in the Annika Bengstrom series. Set in Stockholm they give a glimpse not into only Swedish life but also how a newspaper there operates. The fourth book, "The Bomber" was a hit here but I thought the first two were even better. I'm going on to the third, "Primetime" next. Annika, a young newspaper reporter, deals with resentment from many of the permanent staff at the newspaper as the result of a shocking incident in the first book, "Studio 69", while she tracks down a mysterious organization that seems too good to be true. In the process she is involved with the Yugoslavian Mafia and the dangerous Ratko. A gripping story all the way.

Honest gritty portrayal of woman writer

I thought this was a very realistic intense book. I have enjoyed all of Marklund's book - they provide a birds-eye view of another culture. Even the meals in restaurants were deliciously described.
