TROUBLE By Katja Ivar

Thank you @RandomTTours and @KatjaIvar for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. Trouble is a seris and is book 3 . This is the first one i have read and i did enjoy it and read it in couple of hours. The story is historial fiction that is set in 1953. I would definatly read the two books becire just because i like Hella and would like to find out more about her. Hella is strong independent women who does not answer to any man which made me like her even more. Hella is a private invesigator helping her ex boss on a case but shes also trying to found out what happened to her father death in 1942. I limed the twist at the end i did not see that coming. I found the story engaging and I liked Katja Ivar writting style and I dont really read alot of this gener but i am glad i did. 5 stars great read and good plot that kept me hooked. Blurb The third in the series featuring Hella Mauzer, to follow on the success of Evil Things and Deep as Death. •A Nordic Noir of the first-order set in Helsinki in 1953. A dark political thriller at the heart of the Cold War; a novel about ruthless ambition and betrayal, but also about the challenges of being a single professional woman in post war Europe. Helsinki, June 1953, at the heart of the Cold War. Hella, now a reluctant private investigator, has been asked by her former boss at the Helsinki murder squad to do a background check on a member of the Finnish secret services. Not the type of job Hella was hoping for, but she accepts it on the condition that she is given access to the files concerning the roadside death of her father in 1942, at a time when Finland joined forces with Nazi Germany in its attack against the Soviet Union. German troops were sent to Finland, the Gestapo arrived in Helsinki and German influence on local government was strong, including demands for the deportation of local Jews. Colonel Mauzer, his wife and other family members were killed by a truck in a hit and run incident. An accident, file closed, they said. But not for Hella, whose unwelcome investigation leads to some who would prefer to see her stopped dead in her tracks. Evil Things captivating first novel... ‘My dear girl,’ her patronizing boss instructs, ‘justice in a cold climate is not a natural phenomenon’. But the stubborn and resourceful Sgt. Mauzer seems just the police officer to deliver it.” Wall Street Journal The author: Katja Ivar grew up in Russia and the U.S. She travelled the world extensively, from Almaty to Ushuaia, from Karelia to Kyushu.
