Karin Alvetegen's Betrayal
Karin Alvtegen has a knack for real good psychological thrillers set in Sweden. Betrayal is her second book translated in to English. The book was published in Sweden in 2003 and was a precursor to her bigger hit "Missing". Both books are worth a read but in my opinion, Betrayal is the better one of the two. In comparison to Johan Theorin who seem to be so popular right now. Karin is a step above him. Although certain aspects of the book are far flung like most thrillers it is for the most part believable. Karin's books leave you with a thought and sometimes with sadness. The ever so popular Hollywood happy ending, doesn't happen in these books.
