The Dark Heart: A True Story of Greed, Murder, and an Unlikely Investigator by Joakim PalmkvistMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was one of Amazon's World Book Day giveaways from 2019.
Not a fan, although I got a little more into the story in the final few chapters. I didn't realize this would be a nonfiction book, but it becomes obvious in Chapter 2. I found much of the description to be dry and unnecessary.
Funny how I just finished The Tigress of Forli and wrote "I guess half a millennium is too long ago for much more than a recounting of a timeline" about it. I felt pretty much the same way about this book, except the events took place only 6-7 years ago!
I guess Sweden has come to be known for their mystery and thriller novels, and if this book had been novelized a little more, I would have found it more enjoyable. I found many of the parts involving Therese to be the most interesting, but found the extensive background of her past a little out of place.
