Writerlibrarian's review of Missing
Missing by Karin Alvtegen
This one I picked up again. I was about 200 pages in when I abandoned it because I wasn't into the story then but was in the mood again to read Swedish noirish fiction. Missing is the story of Sibylla, who we first meet squatting a very nice Hotel for the night and who becomes the scapegoat of a very determined serial killer. Sibylla has mental problems, family issues and she's find herself running from the system and tries to fight back and find the culprit with the help of a most unlikely character. It's dark, it's slow and it's quasi totally from Sibylla point of view, which turned me off the first time I started reading it. It's well written, has an interesting twist. Karin Alvtegen is not Henning Mankell but she's someone I'll read again.
