I got this book free in exchange for my honest review.I thought the idea of this thriller was interesting and I wanted to see how it would play out. I will also admit that I was a little interested in it because it is a Swedish Thriller, and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was also a Swedish thriller, so I hoped that they would be alike.
Goodreads Synopses:
On the surface, the story couldn’t be simpler. A single young woman visits her older sister, who is married to a writer as charismatic as he is violent. As the young woman falls under her brother-in-law’s spell, the plot unfolds in a series of precisely rendered turns. Meanwhile the reader, anticipating the worst, hopes against hope that disaster can be averted.
More than a mere thriller, this debut novel delves deep into the feminine soul and at the same time exposes the continuing oppression of women in Sweden’s supposedly enlightened society. Mixing hothouse sensuality with ice-cold fear on every page, Drowned heralds the emergence of a major new talent on the international scene.
My review after the jump.
