Very well plotted -- enjoyed this one even more than the first Irene Huss novel. A lot of suspense and creepiness in this story about a private hospital (in "national health" Sweden) where the power goes out one night and the result is two deaths (a patient and a nurse) and a ghost sighting. Irene and her colleagues dig through the past to figure out what is going on in the now, as a series of events occur that are seemingly unrelated ... but ominous. I did not guess the perpetrator until nearly the end, just before the reveal.

Irene takes a beating again (twice), and once again daughter Jenny is led down a dangerous path and needs to be rescued, but the results were rewarding.

Now: to read the third in the series right away, or read something else as a break? It's a hard choice.
