In the fishing community of Fjällbacka, life is remote, peaceful—and for some, tragically short. Foul play was always suspected in the disappearance 20 years ago of two young holidaymakers in the area. Now a young boy out playing has confirmed this grim truth. Their remains, discovered with those of a fresh victim, send the town into shock. Local detective Patrik Hedstrom, expecting a baby with his girlfriend Erica, can only imagine what it is like to lose a child. When a second young girl goes missing, Hedstrom’s attention focuses on the Hults, a feuding clan of misfits, religious fanatics and criminals. The suspect list is long but time is short—which of this family’s dark secrets will provide the vital clue?

Critic reviews
As for the narrator, he is so annoying! Who says "mamma" or "papa" anymore? And it isn't "orf" it's "off".
Despite those annoyances, I'm on to book 3!

Great story, somewhat diminished by the development of central characters and that narrator!

Where does The Preacher rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I think it's a good book. I was disappointed that Erica wasn't a bigger part of the book since she was pretty front and center in The Ice Princess.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
To a certain extent, the main storyline involving the murders was best. The secondary storylines were a bit silly and beyond belief.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of David Thorn?
Anyone who can pull off a better Scandinavian accent. David Thorn's reading of Patrick makes him sound unintelligent.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Don't want to be a spoiler here but the death of the girls in the book was needless and very sad.Great Plot, Narration Needs Work

The story starts out with a young boy finding a young woman's cadaver -- with 2 older skeletons underneath the body. All are connected with more to come. I will be honest that the mystery, while intriguing, was not as riveting as the first book. But can you blame anyone on expecting the same when the first book in a mystery series is excellent. Everything she writes will now be compared to "The Ice Princess". I am so pleased that Erica and Patrick continue in the series. I loved every scene with both of them.
The narrator seems a strange choice for these books. I am learning to like him, but it seems like a very English proper voice with strange interpretations of how many of the other characters sound.
Looking forward to listening to book # 3 sometime in the near future.
2nd Book is Good, 1st Book was Excellent
