In "Dark Angel," Mari Jungstedt's sixth Anders Knutas novel, murder again comes to the Swedish island of Gotland. When event planner Vicktor Algård is found murdered in an empty room of the new convention center in Visby, suspicion quickly focuses on his secret lover, Veronika Hammar. But when, a short time later, Hammar herself becomes a target for murder, the Visby police force, under the leadership of Anders Knutas, are forced to widen their search. This novel, the sixth in Jungstedt's Anders Knutas series, moves along at a faster pace than her previous mysteries, and there is a greater focus on Knutas' relationships with his teen-age children and his long-time associate Karin Jacobsson. Jungstedt also provides commentary on the ongoing problems of underage drinking, violence, and social apathy."Dark Angel" is entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking as Knutas deals with not only the murder at hand, but also with his own responsibilities as a parent and with his duties as a police officer... especially as they relate to Karin Jacobsson, with whom he now shares a deep, dark secret. Through her books, Jundgstedt paints a vivid portrait of Gotland, and although the characters in her novels are fictitious, of course, her narrative brings them to life... producing in this reader a feeling of closeness to both the land and its people
