Shame

by Karin Alvtegen

Book Overview

Monika and Maj-Britt could not be more different. Monika lives with a man who adores her; Maj-Britt can barely manage to write her former husband's name. Monika, the chief surgeon at a regional hospital, has an overwhelming roster of family and professional obligations; Maj-Britt is a recluse, all but imprisoned by her own obesity. But they do have one thing in common: Both are tormented by memories that only the most excruciating vigilance can keep suppressed. And when chance brings the two women together, those memories can no longer stay contained.

I'd read Alvtegen's Missing and Betrayal before and liked her skillful writing. Shame was as good as the others. Those who like crime novels with real characters and psychological motives will no doubt like it.

shame is shamelessly good

Karen Alvtegen can keep you up way past your bedtime with these eerie stories of people gone off the curb. I love her writing and highly recommend her books.

Shame

This is a beautifully written mystery into the workings of the heart nd mind of us fragile humans. I loved it, and read it oover three nights. Brillian and involving and chilling.
