review 1: Ačkoliv Smrt démona není moc obsáhlá, je psaná svižným tempem a na kvalitě jí to rozhodně neubírá. Jediné, co vás může od plynulého čtení trochu rozptýlit, je občasný problém s rozlišením některých pohledů. Kdy až po jednom odstavci zjistíte, že už čtete zase o někom jiném. Ovšem...

review 1: I've been wanting to read an Anne Holt for some time now and was delighted to be able to borrow an ecopy of the first of the Hanne Wilhelmsen series from my eLibrary. I loved the book, I thought I'd guessed 'who did it' very early on but I was only partially right, the intricaci...

review 1: It took two weeks for me to finish the first in this series. The second in the series took me two days. The same fascinating characters show up in the second, but the perspective is slightly different. While I am about to dash off to Oslo, the series is giving me a view of the ci...

review 1: I really enjoy the pace and style of Holt's books. In this one, former police investigator-now confined to a wheelchair- Hanne Wilhemson is trapped in a mountain hotel at Finse 1222, following a train wreck caused by severe winter weather. The group is trapped for days in this ...

review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The plot was complex, so it was exciting when all the story lines came together. It was slightly frustrating that some of the clues and revelations were drawn out for a long time and didn't amount to anything near as exciting as I had hoped. Howeve...

review 1: Sudano tutti, copiosamente, a Oslo. Dentro, perché il riscaldamento va a palla. Fuori, nonostante la temperatura non proprio mite, perché si affannano tutti come matti. Si suda parecchio anche a terminarla, questa storia inutilmente contorta fino alle ultime trenta pagine. Il gia...

review 1: I was very happy to find another Scandinavian crime writer as this has become my favourite genre. Impressed to read Anne Holt was highly acclaimed and Norway's number one crime writer. That was, until I began to read. This is the first time I have ever been aware that a book has ...

review 1: A real page turner - "who done it" as usual a real surprise to me. And, as usual, I especially enjoy these Scandenavian thriller/mysteries with a lot of social interest, information and content. A female bishop, highly regarded and loved, has been murdered. As have other much ...

review 1: Didn't enjoy this one. It's 500 pages (or that's what my Kindle says, anyway) and it just doesn't have 500 pages worth of content, nor anywhere close to it. Huge sections drag on with little happening. I almost gave up on it several times, and now that I've finished it I feel lik...

review 1: Själva storyn var intressant men alla dessa sidospår om illaluktande sovrum blev lite för mycket. Jag kände att jag ideligen tappade tråden när det svävade ut i vardagstristessen. Detta var första boken av Anne Holt jag läst. Undrar om man blir mer kräsen med åren? Jag har läst d...

review 1: I have read earlier books in this series (I can never keep them all straight) and really enjoy the way she portrays Kristianne and her family's efforts to make a safe place for her in the world. I think the characters are very well done and also find Holt much easier to take than...

review 1: Pro:Der Leser wird direkt mitten in das familiäre Trauma gestoßen, aber schnell etablieren sich auch die schrecklichen Todesfälle auf Utøya als allgegenwärtige Kulisse - denn zunächst hat kein Polizist Zeit, sich um den Tod des kleinen Sander zu kümmern. Er wird beinahe bedeutung...
