Trapped/Zaboj by Camilla Lackberg, Henrik Fexeus (HarperCollins, Učila)
Young people are found murdered in as it seems illusionist's contraptions. Detective Mina Dabiri invites mentalist Vincent to help with an investigation.
Pretty stereotypical, shallow and messy. Characters are described in different manner (consequence of two writers, perhaps). Police work is almost non-existent and I guessed who the perpetrator is at the beginning of the book.
It seems that more than solving the mistery, matters the importance of personal specialties and phobias of Mina and Vincent and these descriptions are on every page.
And again - sexual connotations everywhere. Why? To shock the reader? Totally irrelevant.
Idea of the novel is interesting, but the execution is not on a highest level, as expected from renowned Camilla Lackberg.
Bad illusion.
2/5
