I will say that, objectively, parts of this story required a hefty suspension of belief. All the chapters are short which kept me flipping through this book at a frantic pace to find out what was going to happen next. The twists and turns were also a hallmark of the genre and I loved it. It was such a clever way to tell the story and not only give some history to the place but also to foreshadow events.Īs with a typical Nordic thriller this story can get dark and graphic. But I did love the addition of the omnipresent narrator that was the town itself. Sometimes each chapter would be someone new but there were also chapters where each paragraph it would switch. Not only are there so many but there is no distinction between which perspective we are following. The vast amount of characters was the biggest obstacle with this story.

We follow the police as they are investigating, the people who took the money and drugs, an assassin who is tasked with finding the drugs and money, and various other people who are connected to the story in some way. And the story revolves around a massive drug deal that went sideways and how it affected the lives of the characters. Cry Wolf follows a plethora of characters all set in the town of Haparanda, Sweden. I love all the benchmarks of the genre and how twisty and suspenseful the stories are. *Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.Ĭry Wolf filled a hole I didn’t know I had in my heart by not reading a Nordic thriller in like a year.
