Lucifer's Tears (Inspector Kari Vaara, #2)
by
by
3.5 Stars
Thompson isn't afraid to write dark, grim and depressing stories. Like his debut, this follow up novel contains some intense content, including sexual violence. Compare to the previous book, I found this mystery to be more dry and lackluster. The novel also follows the personal life of the main detective involving his wife's pregnancy and visiting American relatives. These scenes were entertaining, with a considerable lighter tone, contrasting the darkness of the war crime investigation. As an North American reader, I found the insights into Finnish culture particularly fascinating. I recommend reading this series in order since Lucifer's Tears completely spoils the events from the first book, Snow Angels.
