The marshland is a desolate place with misty meadows, sloping pines, and sinking soils. Once upon a time, sacrifices to the gods were buried here, and rumors say that people still disappear without a trace... Offermossen "The Forbidden Place" is a thrilling novel about Nathalie who are doing field experiments for her doctoral thesis on wetlands. The thesis is not the only reason Nathalie has rented a cottage to the experiments. She has returned to the place she once grew up. Where she was happy. Before her life shattered. Now she is back and perhaps she will get the answers to what happened when she was a child. I found the book to be captivating and intriguing. I love the setting of the story. There is something chilly and creepy with the marshland and this book really makes you feel that there is something out there, perhaps not something evil. Just something ... inhumane... Offermossen is a thrilling book, not that thick so you will quickly read it through. It's a book that will leave an impact and I'm looking forward to reading more from Susanne Jansson. The Forbidden Place is an eerie, atmospheric story following a biologist who returns to her hometown years after a childhood tragedy to collect samples from a local bog. Hidden secrets - and bodies - are soon uncovered which begs the question of whether the bog truly does have mystical properties that lure people to their deaths. I liked this but didn't love it. There were numerous characters and the story seemed to jump around quite a bit. It may have been the translation but I found that I kept being taken out of the story. I enjoyed the history of 'bog bodies' and the addition of the sacrificial murders. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In the remote Swedish wetlands lies Mossmarken: the village on the edge of the mire where, once upon a time, people came to leave offerings to the gods. Biologist Nathalie came in order to study the peat bogs. But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth. Soon after her arrival, she finds an unconscious man out on the marsh, his pockets filled with gold--just like the ancient human sacrifices. A grave is dug in the mire, which vanishes a day after. And as the police investigate, the bodies start to surface...Is the mire calling out for sacrifices, as the superstitious locals claim? Or is it an all-too-human evil?

En los pantanos que recorren el norte de Europa, están enterrados los restos de aquellos sacrificios que la gente de la Edad de Hierro hacía a los dioses. Incluso de sacrificios humanos. Los cuerpos han quedado preservados como misteriosas cápsulas del tiempo. Una joven científica llamada Nathalie llega a uno de estos pantanos en la zona rural de Suecia para realizar experimentos de campo para su tesis doctoral en biología. Allí, una noche, en medio de una tormenta otoñal, Nathalie encuentra a un hombre inconsciente, con los bolsillos llenos de monedas. Cerca, una tumba improvisada. La exitosa fotógrafa Maya Linde trabaja ahora para la policía y es enviada a cubrir la escena donde ha sido encontrado ese hombre. Cuando Maya descubre otro cuerpo en la ciénaga, comienza una cacería de lo que parece ser un astuto asesino que ha enterrado a las víctimas bajo el lodo durante más de una década.
