The Black Path Rebecka Martinsson Book 3 edition by Asa Larsson Marlaine Delargy Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

There is a lot mixed into this, 3rd in the series of Rebecka Martinsson stories: international intrigue, murder, love and betrayal, self-searching... Way too many things for one murder mystery. Moreover, a lot of the elements of the story don't really contribute to the plot -- too many details for the sake of details. I was really disappointed by the book. Rebecka Martinsson has a very small role to play in this book, and it has hardly anything to do with the investigation. In fact, there is not much of an investigation either.
This book is not a total waste of time if you have to kill time on a plane or at an airport but if you are looking for an enjoyable murder mystery, don't waste your time.

The Black Path Rebecka Martinsson Book 3 edition by Asa Larsson Marlaine Delargy Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

The Black path is very typical of the Scandinavian genre of crime writing with realistic style and sometimes moody and complex backgrounds of the individuals involved. In this story a woman is brutally murdered, her body is found in a small fishing hut located on a frozen lake and the body is certainly not dressed for fishing more like office attire. Detective Anna-Maria Mella and her police colleague are assigned the case. Lawyer Rebecka Martinsson has suffered a mental breakdown after a case that almost destroyed her, she is now desperate to successfully get back to work. Martinsson delves into the background of the victims boss the founder of Kallis Mining. These relationships with the murdered woman are morally complex and here the reader will have to be very patient as I found this build up a bit boring taking you into the intrigue of African politics and corrupt mining practices. However the reason for the murder is slowly but surely exposed. The author provides an exiting ending. I liked the book.
This is my third Asa Larsson read. The first two rated 4 stars, but this one is just a bit lower (actually 3-1/2 stars). Why? (1) There are so many flashbacks in this novel that I had a hard time keeping track of them, particularly when they occurred in the middle of a chapter that was otherwise devoted to the current scene. Also, I wasn't entirely clear about the role of a couple of the characters, and why their backgrounds were introduced. (2) "Black Path" was headed for 4 stars, but the ending overwhelmed me. There are bits of violence here and there throughout the book, but by comparison the ending appears to have the destructive power of an atomic bomb. Reminds me somewhat of Fourth of July fireworks. Explosions continue throughout the presentation, but the ending is so over the top that it numbs the senses. I'm not a big fireworks fan in the first place - likewise not a fan of violence - but I realize some of that is required in any mystery. (Better when it occurs behind the scene.) In this case, though, I lost track of which were the good guys and which the bad in the grand finale.

"Black Path" does have a number of redeeming qualities, though. The characters are wonderful, as one reads about their home lives, inner thoughts, and current hang-ups. I'm not sure how many Larsson books have been translated into English, but I'll continue reading them because of the ongoing characters, including Rebecka Martinson (the protagonist, although not the only main character), the two detectives, and a few other stalwarts from small-town northern Norway Brrrr!

A significant plus in this novel is that the reader is introduced to the machinations of huge international mining corporations - their manipulative financing, difficulties faced in Third World venues, venality, and violence. Such corporations make the perpetrators of the recent mortgage/banking crisis look like Santa Claus.
Asa Larsson knows how to get her readers sucked into a book. I picked this one up and had trouble putting it down until I was finished.

This thriller takes place in Sweden. A woman is found murdered in a lake house and it appears that she was tortured by electrocution and stabbed multiple times. Her name is Ina Wattring and she is the public relations officer for Kallis Mines, a multi-national mining company with ties to mines in conflict-laden African nations. Ina and her brother Didi both work for Mauri Kallis, the mine's owner. They all met while college students and this book goes back and forth in time, providing the reader with information about what is happening currently along with the back story of the protagonists.

The investigators for this crime are Inspectors Anna-Maria Mella and Sven-Erik Stalnacko. They are joined by Rebecka Martinson, an attorney who has recently recovered from a terrible psychiatric breakdown which sounds like post-traumatic stress disorder. She was hospitalized for some time and this is her first case since being discharged.

The investigation of the case is very interesting and it goes into the workings of the mine and the people who run it. I especially enjoyed the back stories of the characters which help to flesh them out. Interestingly, the people who are least fleshed out are the investigators.

I was disappointed with the ending as it seemed to come out of nowhere like a deus ex machina. However, the reading experience was great and I hope to read more books by this author.
