Five-star Review of The Night Raven (Moonwind Mysteries #1)
by Johan Rundberg
Mika, a twelve-year-old living at a public orphanage in 1880’s
Stockholm and working as a bartender at night to earn money, is the least
likely detective. But then rumors of the Night Raven returning to the streets
of the city after a body is found and besides that a baby is left at the door
of the orphanage by a lad who refers to a dark angel. Mika teams up with a
police inspector, who seems to be on probation following a previous case. Mika
and Valdemar don’t always confide in each other, but they make a good team.
Throughout the story we see Mika’s resourcefulness and observational skills.
This is the first in a series, translated very well from the original Swedish,
and I’m looking forward to more from this unlikely team.
