Zápletka fajn. Avšak som sa nestotožnila so štýlom autorovho písania plus niektoré konverzácie mi prišli zvláštne formulované.
Na konci cliffhanger, ktorý, keby autor by aj vedel podľa mňa zaujímavejšie písať, by som si aj prečítala v ďalšej knihe.

Sådan kan den da ikke slutte?... hold nu kæft han skriver godt. Der er plot, spænding og hårrejsende tvists undervejs. Og en kæmpe cliffhanger - jeg er solgt og klar på den næste!

Sam Berger is a maverick detective who is convinced that there is a serial killer at large. Following a tip-off his team raids a house and finds evidence that it has been used for torture. However the clues are contrary and when the only lead turns out to be false Berger finds himself a suspect. Yet Sam knows that the killer is leaving clues that only he can interpret and so he finds himself on the run with an unlikely partner and a chase into a past he has tried to forget.
This is a pacy and breathless book. Berger is the typically complex Nordic detective, carrying a past that is about to mesh with the present, and Blom also has issues. What makes this book so great is the number of twists that occur quite early in the narrative. Usually dramatic plot twists happen towards the end of the story but here there are a couple of huge ones in the first half. The writing is so convincing that the reader does wonder if Berger is completely honest. Even the ending, which seems so clear cut, leaves the door open for a next installment.

Sjajna knjiga! Nisam mogla ni da naslutim da će mi se ovoliko dopasti. Malo sam se mučila, prvih 40-ak stranica, dok se nisam navikla na stil pisanja. Nakon toga, uživanje. Mnogo su mi se dopali Sam i Moli u tandemu i nadam se da se neće dugo čekati na nastavak. Kraj je 😱
