A Mysterious Review of …
My First Murder by Leena Lehtolainen. A Maria Kallio Mystery.
Review summary: There's not much depth to this first in a series of mysteries featuring a young police officer set in Finland. The murder mystery itself has a couple of interesting elements to it, as does this Finnish slice of life for a group of 20-somethings, but overall this police procedural lacks both tension and energy.

My First Murder
Leena Lehtolainen
A Maria Kallio Mystery
AmazonCrossing (December 2012)
Publisher synopsis: Maria Kallio has just been assigned her first murder investigation. To prove to herself and her squad that she has what it takes to be a detective, she'll have to solve the death of Tommi Peltonen. Found floating facedown at the water's edge of his Helsinki villa, Tommi had invited his choir group to spend a weekend at his retreat. But beneath the choir's seemingly tight-knit bonds seethed bitter passion and jealousy.
As Maria sets out to determine the difference between friends and foes, she uncovers the victim's unsavory past — and motives for all seven suspects. Now it's up to her to untangle a complex set of clues before the killer strikes again.
