Having not read the second book in the series yet, I know something happened to Rebecka in that book, but the details aren't important to understanding, from the start of THE BLACK PATH, that she has been through a traumatic experience and she's struggling back into normal life.

But one thing you will find with THE BLACK PATH is that Rebecka, or Anna-Maria or any of the other characters that either reoccur from earlier books, or step forward into the limelight in this book, won't necessarily remain as the focus of the book. This isn't a book that's specifically about a single person's journey through the events that lead up to a crime (perhaps with the exception of the victim herself), but a story about the swirling circumstances of lives lived. That's not to say that the book has an unfocused or messy feel to it, rather the opposite. But it does give the way the story unfolds a fascinating, sort of ephermeral feel to it, as the focus moves around, and the events that somebody - but not everybody - are involved in, all lead to a resolution.

I have to say, that for me, there was a strong sense of Swedish about this book. But this was a combination of things. The weather, the environment, the sensibility of the people, the way that the supernatural interwove with the mundane facts of life. The book also incorporates some glimpses into Sami culture which were absolutely fascinating.

As with the first of this series that I read, I still find Rebecka and Anna-Maria slightly offputting as characters. Don't know why, but they just are. Having said that, they are fascinating, and people I'm interested in and care about slightly from afar. There's some real skill in writing a story with characters like these that keeps you so involved. But I was also very taken with the lack of predictable styling of the book - I liked the way that the story evolved without the need to ensure series characters got their alloted page space. (less)

The Black Path by Åsa Larsson is the third in her series of mysteries featuring Rebecka Martinsson and is a wonderful story. All the characters were vividly drawn and all the story arcs interesting. I never wanted it to be over, a feeling I rarely have as I rush from one book to another. And it did what few books ever do: it made me cry. And I still loved it.

I've become a big fan of Asa Larsson. I see no need to compare her to the likes of Karin Fossum, whom I also love to read. She can stand on her own merits.

Personally, I think that Black Path is excellent. I like all of the storylines and am not troubled by the fact that our heroine, Rebeka, isn't always the main focus of the book. I enjoy Anna-Maria Mella and her partner, Sven-Erik, tremendously, and I think that the back and forth of the different plots was skillfully handled and very effective...more

It is spring in northern Sweden, when a body is found hidden in a fishing ark, on the frozen lake of Torneträsk. She’s dressed for running, not for fishing in icy conditions, yet she’s wearing make-up. Whilst inspectors Mella and Stålnacke think it’s probably another case of a husband killing his wife, the soon realise she has been tortured.

A decent enough Swedish murder mystery spanning international business, African instability, and kittens. It starts as a simple police procedural, but the story goes much deeper -- and becomes much messier.

Larsson's characters all have thick backstories -- sometimes to the point of pointlessness and with a few requiring knowledge of her previous novels. It's nice to see intelligent, capable female leads (this book has two).

I balked at the use of psychic powers in one side character, though, an...more

The latest instalment in Asa Larsson's 'Rebecka Martinsson' series and to my mind, her best to date. Rebecka has seemingly made a full recovery from the horrific attack of the previous book and after her release from the psychiatric unit, finds herself embroiled in another murder investigation with the wonderful female detective Anna-Maria Mella. This is where Larsson excels in her characterisation that portrays Rebecka as an outwardly strong but essentially damaged woman and Anna-Maria, who wit...more

This book really irritated me.
It sounded good when it was recommended to me by my local library as I like Scandinavian authors but I could not get into it.

It says on the book that it is "another Rebecca Martinsson mystery" but to me it seemed like it is about loads of people but not mainly about Rebecca Martinsson.

I could not get the grip on the changing points of view as well as the constant flashbacks of all of the characters.

It is one of the greatest strengths of Larsson’s writing that the protagonists never spring back from the traumas they experience but remain marked by events into future narratives. After eighteen months of treatment, Rebecka retreats to her cottage in Kurravaara, a village near Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city. Kiruna is a mining community in the heart of the Sami region, an area covering the northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland where the local Sami dialect is also spoken.

Despite her breakdown, Rebecka is asked to become a special prosecutor in Kiruna for a six month trial period. Rebecka accepts but her tendency to overwork both herself and her staff make her enemies within the office. However, detective Anna-Maria Mella comes to appreciate Rebecka’s dedication and attention to detail when a woman is found murdered in a fishing ark on a frozen lake. The victim, who has been stabbed and then electrocuted is identified as Inna Wattrang, an employee of Kallis Mining, one of the top mining companies in Sweden and headed by the self-made Mauri Kallis.

Although the investigations of Rebecka and Anna-Maria take up significant portion of the book, the background story of Mauri Kallis and his relationship with Inna Wattrang and her brother Diddi, form an interweaving narrative. Some of the story is moving, especially in relation to Ester the half-sister of Mauri Kellis who although adopted at birth, is integrated back into the family at great personal cost. I’m not sure that we needed quite so much back story as I felt this sometimes affected the pace of the book, although it did give a useful insight into how self-made men have to make significant compromises in the pursuit of success.

In the course of the investigation, it becomes clear that corruption and bribery are a feature of mining companies’ attempts to acquire contracts in countries with unstable political regimes. This was highlighted well with the trip Mauri and Inna make to Uganda and the resulting links that are then made with military regimes. The story of the investigation into Inna’s murder linked in well with the mining background although I found the denouement slightly disappointing as the scale violence seemed out of proportion to the rest of the narrative.

The book filled in some of the gaps that I had picked up when reading Until Thy Wrath be Past. It’s a shame that this series was published in the UK out of order but at least the books by this interesting writer can now be read in sequence.(less)

This lost a 4 star rating for reasons I don't normally have - I found the large number of characters with foreign names hard to remember, the translation (original is not in English) was often awkward, and it's hard for me to emotionally connect to a situation that I can't imagine being in (like planning government coup or a diet of animal pastes and weird fish).

I thought that this was by far the strongest book in the series. Rebecka is back, she's working in Kiruna as a prosecutor and has her own role in the crimes we're following. I think the relationships she's developing locally are interesting (especially the contrast between her and Anna-Maria Mella). I also like the direction things are going in with her previous boss.

Frankenstein of a book.

Starts off Scandi crime - interesting characters, compelling baddies, a refreshingly happy female detective. And kittens, horray.

Midway starts diverging into a delicate literary story about a young artist, which is interesting and affecting but ultimately fairly irrelevant - inasmuch as after the climax it seems that the character was shoehorned in as a total straw man.

Towards the end gratuitous violence escalates so much and so fast that I suspect the author didn't kno...more

While I enjoyed The Black Path, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the others in the series. Even though the collaboration of western business with corrupt African governments is a subject worthy of our attention, I found that it distanced the story a bit from the characters I've come to love. Much of the action takes place away from Kiruna.

Swedish crime thrillers are on the rise in popularity in Australia, though they’ve been around for a long time. I think the first I heard of them was Stieg Larsson’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, which admittedly I am yet to read. I really enjoyed the movies and my fiancé really wants me to read the books.

I know this isn’t a review for Stieg Larsson, but I suppose that was the reason I thought I’d give Åsa Larsson a try, she’s a well-established Swedish author in the crime genre as well as a lawyer. When I requested The Black Path to review, I didn’t realise it was the third book in the Rebecka Martinsson series. When we are introduced to Martinsson in the story we are eluded to the emotional instability she is recovering from since a traumatic incident that presumably occurred in the second book. Though, this didn’t make it too difficult for me as a reader to catch on- the author expresses Martinsson’s vulnerability exceptionally well and The Black Path could easily be read as a standalone novel.

It wasn’t quite the typical crime book I was expecting when I started to read The Black Path, though it did begin that way with the dead body of a woman that instigated the gathering of prosecutor Rebecka Martinsson and detective Maria Mella at a snow-ridden, wintry town in Sweden. But it’s not necessarily the investigators that lead the story to its ultimate conclusion; it’s actually the stories of the victim and the suspects that seize the plot. Inna Wattrang, the attractive woman who has been tortured to death, worked for Mauri Kallis along with her brother Diddi Wattrang in a successful mining company that spans across war-torn countries. So, the unravelling of the ultimate death of Inna is retold through accounts of Mauri, Diddi and Inna’s relationships from their first meetings until things began to turn sour.

At first, when the story started to detour off the usual crime plot and into the lives of Mauri, Inna and Diddi pre-murder, I thought I would start to get bogged down in all the information. But surprisingly, I became immersed in their stories and began to ask myself, what does the author want me to see? I felt like I was the one solving the murder, while Martinsson and Mella were alongside solving it with me. Quite an interesting structure that I unexpectedly enjoyed.

In terms of Martinsson as the main protagonist and Mella taking a strong secondary lead, neither of them was particularly likeable or relatable, but they both seemed real and I was intrigued by them to want to read on and find out more.

I think I’ll have to get the first two books in the series and start at the beginning so I can get to know Martinsson and Mella a little better. I recommend The Black Path to crime thriller fans; you’ll enjoy the icy cold, Swedish backdrop which will send shivers up your spine as you read it!

RATING: 5.0

It's early spring, and the ice on the lake in Tornetrask, northern Sweden, is thick. The inhabitants of nearby Kiruna journey here to go ice fishing, setting up small cabins on runners called arks, which protect them as they fish. A powerful storm blows one of the arks away, and its owner scrambles into a nearby cabin to escape from the elements. And what he finds is more than enough to chill him to the bones – the body of a woman who appears to have been tortured.

Anna-Maria Mella is the lead detective on the case, assisted by Sven-Erik Stalnacke. They soon establish that the victim is Inna Wattrang and that she had been killed elsewhere. The investigation is going slowly until they are helped by a recently hired special prosecutor named Rebecka Martinsson. At one time, Rebecka was a powerful attorney in the big city. However, she was the victim of a horrible crime and has had a lot of difficulty managing to recover from what happened to her. It suits her perfectly to be working in a remote area without a lot of people contact. She is dedicated and intuitive; through her efforts, the case moves forward.

Inna and her brother, Diddi, were key employees of Kallis Mining, an endeavor set up by Mauri Kallis who is a brilliant entrepreneur. He is able to see opportunities far before others realize their potential and has become hugely successful as a result. At the moment, he is working on a mining venture in Uganda that is experiencing a lot of trouble due to the local political regime. However, the potential rewards are enormous.

Martinsson's research reveals that another person who had an association with Kalllis Mining died recently, supposedly committing suicide. Could Mauri Kallis be behind these deaths? Is there something he is trying to hide? Is a competitor trying to bring him down? Or is it someone else in his organization working for purposes only known to them?

THE BLACK PATH is one of the best books that I have read in a very long time. The reality is that I can find nothing that did not work for me. The setting was wonderfully drawn, with poetic descriptions that made me feel and see the environment being described. The plot had just the right degree of complexity; there were several different directions that it followed, all leading to a resolution that was perfectly wrought. The denouement was exciting and suspenseful, and I loved how the black path was integrated into the conclusion.

There was a large cast of characters, but each of them was treated with care and had an important part in the narrative. Reading the book was like playing a game of chess with pieces that had been carved by a master. Although some of them may have been more secondary than others, each was finely detailed and essential to playing the game.

On a scale of 1 to 5, THE BLACK PATH was a 6.

It follows all the traditional Scandanavian detective story elements - for example the pessimistic outlook, the odd character in the detective, the liking for and praise of minorities - the bad guys with money and slightly perverted sexual tastes, - i would say written by numbers except it is actually very difficult to create such atmosphere so credibly - i reckon it would work well on tv - lots of characters.

Larsson adds layers of plot, characters, and create a complex melange with a backdrop of current affairs in Africa, mining, politics, corporate malfeance as well as the Swedish north country. She offers readers internal dialogue, complex characters, and plenty suspense. Although she sometimes presages action, it doesn't seem to matter - like "in 2 hours she'll be dead" because it's often back story. Well liked by US reviewers, prized in Sweden.

Asa Larsson is quite impressive in this series. There are mysteries and some gruesome things happen, but the real stories are the characters. Every character, even the bit part players, are made so real. In the Blood Spilt there were big sections about wolves and wolf behavior that were quite magical. This book has big sections about painting from inside the mind of a painter. Excellent. I highly recommend it. Again, if I were buying books, this one would be on my real bookshelf.
