A substantial review for a excellent book by a well-established and great author!!!!!! BORING - nothing much happens except for a few sordid flash backs to the actual murder. Prepare for a page turning and exciting story.
She wanted to find out the truth and to handle this high priority case.
The story recounts the case against him back then and then currently.First part of the book seems to be a legal thriller then it became a cozy mystery of sort. Otherwise, it was a great read.

The plot was entertaining. Good reflection on the legal system, the assumptions we make and the public trials and judgments societies pass. Stig Ahlin is in jail for a brutal crime that he might have not committed and a lawyer is working on getting him a second trial. But the story itself was terrific, and the main character was an interesting lawyer and woman. In her latest crime story, a psychology professor, Stig Ahlin--aka “Professor Death”--in prison thirteen years for a murder conviction, is given hope.
Disappointing and unsatisfying conclusion.Disappointing. But he was not a likeable character.Margolin is usually an excellent writer, but not this time.
It was a case which involved a young girl, Katrin age 15, the legal age of consent in Sweden, who was murdered. Chesterfield considered himself the very best, but he was greedy - he came from a very poor and harsh background and he made up a story that he was from an aristocratic home. Ahlin became the most hated man in Sweden, and has been in barely eased solitary confinement ever since, his sentence specifying that he will never be released.Malin Persson Giolito has taken a topic that has huge repercussions and made it into a large case with most people angry about it because of all ready having their minds made up.

Thrillers often follow a very specific structure, but Giolito kept changing the rules, and I am so here for it.

This book feels as if it were a script for the Lifetime Movie Network. Published Because of her own interest in magic, she is intrigued by the case.
Too many unanswered questions at the end. Good reflection on the legal system, the assumptions we make and the public trials and judgments societies pass. We never even really get in a courtroom, and if anythI NEED all of Giolito's books to be translated into English ASAP.

I've read many of his books.
It revolves around this case and the one that got thrown out. An illustration of a 3.5" floppy disk. As a bonus, both the author, Robin, and ourselves are all fans of magic acts - indeed the main character in this one, first a villain, then became the victim of his own "Chamber of Death" illusion, making the plot even more fun.
Robin is a young Perry Mason type criminal defense lawyer in a firm with a retired mentor Regina known as "the Sorceress" for how she won unwinnable cases. The characters are fairly one-sided and not very interesting and the dialogue is mundane.
