			        		&quot;Stunning . . . As doom-filled as Larsson&apos;s leitmotif of ravens (in old Scandinavia the messengers of Odin, god of poetry and berserker fury), this remarkable tale of twisted love and vengeance and redemptive nonjudgmental devotion resounds, like its epigraph from the Book of Job, with all the pain of human existence.&quot; &#x2014;Publishers Weekly (Starred)&quot;Larsson&apos;s best book so far. The supernatural elements are worked seamlessly into a complex and engaging mystery, resulting in a thoroughly compelling reading experience.&quot; &#x2014;Booklist (Starred)&quot;Among the current batch of Nordic writers, the new Larsson is one to be followed with the most minute attention.&quot; &#x2014;Barry Forshaw, Independent&quot;Larsson&#x2019;s laid back style makes her unflinching probing of the icy depths of the human heart all the more chilling.&quot; &#x2014;Jake Kerridge, Telegraph&#x201C;Language that is by turn simple and clear, and by turn poetically brilliant.&#x201D; &#x2014;Norrl&#xE4;ndska Socialdemokraten&#xA0;(Sweden)&#x201C;Critics used to be able to dismiss crime fiction with a few condescending remarks about language and psychology. Soon they won&#x2019;t be able to do that anymore. &#xC5;sa Larsson&#x2019;s book, for example, stands firmly on the three most important tenets: style, human understanding, and plot.&#x201D; &#x2014;Svenska Dagbladet&#xA0;(Sweden)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ wonderful witing but...
            
*by O***T on July 12, 2013*

Before I finished Until thy Wrath be Past I ordered three other books by Asa Larsson before I noticed that she has a penchant to include horrific animal abuse in her stories.  some people won't mind.  I do.  I reluctantly finished the next book and got through the part where the character puts down all her beloved, trusting pets because she is going to kill herself.  There is no resistance from the vet in the story.  It's really sickening and after the decapitated kittens, too much.  And wondering what happened to the missing cat.  So, I'm moving on.  Too bad.  She really is a wonderful writer.  I just don't need anymore brutality against animals in my life right now.  When a dog is killed and we live it through his eyes, the hanging, the blood letting, it made me physically sick and so incredibly depressed. Funny, I can take humans being tortured, just not helpless animals.  I can read this in the news everyday so I guess now that I'm older I need stories that are interesting but more uplifting.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ an engaging read
            
*by V***A on December 13, 2014*

This is the 4th in the Rebecka Martinsson series, and this time Rebecka actually does head an investogation.Two young people disappear after venturing out for a diving expedition. As the story unravels, we learn about secrets that go back to the days of Sweden's collaboration with the Nazis. However, this is not even the most interesting part of the story. I was at first put off but soon totally captivated by the narration of some of the parts of the story by the murder victim (after she had died).  I did not at first appreciate what an artful tool it was to include her into the story telling.This is a well written and well translated story, with unusually powerful psychological insights that are presented in a down to earth human fashion.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ terrific Swedish thriller
            
*by A***S on November 23, 2012*

This is the fourth book in the Swedish series about prosecutor Rebecka Martinsson, but it is the first one I've read, and I can't wait to go back and read the earlier novels.Maybe because, unlike Western "literature", Scandinavian thrillers are encouraged to have a plot, the authors are less defined by artificial constraints (like Oulipo) and able to play with plot, chronology and, in this case, narration. Transitions between narrators is fluid and informative (which must also speak to the fine translation by Laurie Thompson). The first chapter is narrated by one of the murder victims, a young girl who's come to live in the small northern village of Kiruna with her grandmother, a kindly elderly woman. This threw me off at first -- expecting CSI but getting Medium, so to speak, and the victim narrates about 20% of the book, but after a while I didn't mind at all; that narrator brought some interesting perspective onto the book's characters and events. Narration also divides between prosecutor Martinsson and police detective Anna-Maria Mella. These two women have full lives complete with problems and possibilities, but they pull together to try and solve this murder, and the personal stories are informative without being distracting.The writing is superb. the author deftly zips between characters and narrators and events in the past and present, finding humor occasionally and painting lovely character portraits that ring true. The villains are not hidden for long, but that doesn't take away the suspense. They are pretty wicked and scary.I thoroughly enjoyed this Swedish thriller and will rush to read the author's earlier works. In order, series books are: The Savage Altar, The Blood Spilt, The Black Path, Until Thy Wrath Be Past, and The Second Deadly Sin.Terrific series, set in small town Sweden.
