translated by Marta Armengol Royo
based on a novel by Camilla Läckberg
This graphic adaptation of the second Fjällbacka crime novel is a decent follow-up to La princesa de hielo. The mystery lovers will appreciate its twists and turns, while the fans of the first book may feel disappointed as the heavily pregnant Erica becomes a bit sidelined. It’s a shame really because I was expecting her to kick ass like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with which Los Gritos have certain parallels.
The events take place in Fjällbacka during the summer of 2003, although in reality the story begins some 24 years earlier...
As it happens way too often, the Spanish title has nothing to do with the original. The French book is called Le Prédicateur which is a literal translation of Swedish Predikanten, “The Preacher”.
