Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Reilly has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past. But when a 13-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox-his partner and closest friend-find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Reilly, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. As dusk approaches a townland near Dublin in the summer of 1985, mothers begin to call their children home.

Erlend and the woman, Eline, have two children together. Erlend comes from a royal line but has been excommunicated by the Catholic Church and pushed aside by his family for having an open affair with a woman who is married to an elderly husband. While there she meets Erlend Nikulausson in town and begins an affair with him (less than a year after losing her first love), including losing her virginity to him (the “wreath” represents her virginity). The convent is home not just to nuns, but young women waiting to return to life beyond the convent. Her father then gets her engaged to a young man she does not want to marry, but she agrees to spend time at the convent while awaiting her marriage. She is quick to fall in love, first falling for a farmhand who is later killed. They’ve lost infant sons and their youngest daughter, so Kristin is all they have. While the mother is reclusive and depressed, Lavrans is a successful and popular farmer and close to young Kristin. This is 14th-century Norway and Kristin is the daughter of Lavrans and Rangfrid. Instead, her life goes on and she seems to learn nothing from the damage she leaves in her wake. In fact, she is quite unlikable but with none of the redeeming qualities we may find in other failed people. In Sigrid Undset’s first volume of the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy, we find a young heroine who grows up to be so self-centered she is hard to like.

It is, all points taken into consideration, hard to backpedal to the previous job of an author whose existing publications have actually provided us such raised criteria.
