review 1: Net als het voorgaande boek #4 ook weer in 1 adem uitgelezen. Spannend, aparte verhaallijn. De hoofdpersonen uit de eerste 3 boeken, Alex en Frederika, nemen niet meer zo'n prominente rol in sinds het vorige boek. Er is een hoofdpersoon bijgekomen, Eden. Wederom actuele thema's:...

review 1: From her background I thought this would be a Stella Rimington experience, but no it's far better, with a decent plot and plausible enough characters. It doesn't quite express the anguish of it's cast as it tries to, but it has a decent bash and takes us through some hellish situ...

review 1: A dog finds a dead body: a young woman cut into two big pieces, but missing her head and hands. Soon we realize the story is about finding out who made a snuff film and whether the film is even real. This is the third in a Swedish crime series, and I enjoyed it enough that I'll g...

review 1: One of the reviews here on Goodreads mentions that one of the things that characterizes Scandinavian crime fiction is that it is usually about ordinary crimes committed by ordinary people compared to the American crime novels where the murders are extraordinary - either in the wa...

review 1: This book took me 12 hoyrs to read. It's THAT GOOD. Fredrika is a pregnant detective with lots of flashes of brilliance. Peder is a detective known rather for crude jokes at female coworkers' expense, but they'll let him go to a special sensitivity class since regardless of how d...

review 1: Další z řady severských detektivek. Tentokrát relativně nosné téma - zdánlivá sebevražda depresemi trpícího kněze a jeho ženy, uprchlíci z Iráku, neonacisti, žena, kterou někdo oloupí o identitu... a jak to spolu všechno souvisí. Není to úplně špatné, ale přesto spíš průměr. Jedn...

review 1: I don't know how I stumbled across this book, but I'm glad I did. I thought it was well-written and well-paced. I liked the author's portrayal of the detectives - real characters who I look forward to seeing more, assuming this is the first of a series. I listened to this on a...

review 1: This was my 2nd attempt to read this book. It has taken me WAY too long to get through it. The story line is good, the character development is quite different than what I am used to. This book was originally published in Sweden and is translated by Sarah Death. I think becau...

review 1: Unwanted is a police procedural taking place in Sweden. I was hoping for more "atmosphere" but that was lacking. The characters were interesting enough that I will read the second book in the series. I considered Unwanted light reading. The last 100 pages kept me glued. The s...

review 1: I read Silenced a few months ago (which is the 2nd book) so was eager to continue the story of Fredrika, Alex and Peder. This book is different in that it ping pongs backwards and forwards between the investigation by the Police Internal investigation team and the investigation ...

review 1: This is the third Ohlsson mystery I have read, and once again, I enjoyed in spite of not having read these in order. But as before, while I like the main "detective" characters, there seemed to be too many prospective perpetrators and too many "extras" - I had a hard time keepin...

review 1: This was a great mystery. I usually can figure out, or have a good idea, who the perp is within a few chapters but this book kept me wondering till they answered it themselves. My only complaint was that the author showed you so many characters and at the end didn't tell you what...
