Politely creepy ...

A girl, Lilian Sebastiansson, disappears on a train ... This is the beginning of the Swedish thriller that mixes horrible crimes, pedophilia and battered women.
The peculiarity of "THE ASHES OF CHILDREN" is to give as much importance to the investigation that day by police officers in their personal difficulties and their relationships. Frederika Bergmann, newly arrived in the police, struggling to be accepted by her two male colleagues, Alex and Peter Recht Rydh.
The story is particularly horrible Kristina OHLSSON but never in the dark and gore does not delight in the sordid descriptions.
His writing touches the creepy but never immerse it or confront it.
The plot, however, lack of twists and the ending is somewhat expeditious.
A nice detective story to read but remains too wise and civilized under investigation processed.
