Jeg vil savne dig i morgen er en imponerende og fængslende debut. Man skal have et åbent sind når man kaster sig over læsningen, for Jeg vil savne dig i morgen inddrager en del overnaturlige elementer i handlingen. Dette kan få nogle læsere til at falde fra, og der var da også enkelte episoder hvor det tog lidt overhånd. Det er dog også medvirkende til at skabe en helt speciel stemning, der også hæves af beskrivelserne af den barske natur.
Plottet er simpelt bygget op, og her er ikke tale om hæsblæsende action. I stedet udsættes læseren for talentfulde og fængende beskrivelser af havets farlige magt og de farer der findes i bunden af den menneskelige psyke. Der er et rigtigt godt flow i bogen, der bl.a. drives af de korte kapitler.
At fortællingen sker i jeg-person fungerer rigtigt godt. Heine Bakkeid udnytter alle formens fordele og efterlader læseren med et rigtigt godt indblik i Thorkilds indre dæmoner, og hvordan de langsomt dræner ham for liv.
Jeg har altid fundet det fascinerende, når en historie involverer et lille lukket samfund der rystes af en udefrakommende. Den måde samfundet lukker sig om sig selv og deres hemmeligheder – hemmeligheder, der ofte går flere generationer tilbage. Og at følge hvordan hele samfundets struktur nedbrydes, når den udefrakommende begynder at bryde murene ned.
Et velskrevet psykologisk drama, der med inddragelse af lokal overtro, overnaturlige elementer og naturens barske rasen vil holde de fleste læsere fanget fra start til slut.

If you like your protagonists hard-boiled with a hefty back story and a capacity for endurance rarely seen outside video games, then Thorkild Aske is the man for you. Personally, I prefer more cerebral action in my crime, more 'why done it?" than "who done it?", although I feel far better prepared for my next autopsy or deep-sea wreck dive after the detailed accounts of both Bakkeid provides: indeed, I suspect that his translator will have acquired an expanded vocabulary in both languages after dealing with these.
There is much here that could be declared "standard #ScandiNoir". The tortured central character with a past that he can't come to terms with and addiction issues that could mean he's potentially very unreliable; weather that is overwhelmingly cold, snowy, damp; and a remote, slightly creepy location for people to disappear from - dead and possibly alive when they vanished. There is also that question of the past, and a woman that Aske loved, lost and his struggle to understand why. These elements combine to create a closed-in, desperate sort of atmosphere in I WILL MISS YOU TOMORROW which is both compelling, and worrying simultaneously. ...

“How can anyone live a whole different life parallel to the one shared with someone”.
Heine Bakkeid has delivered a bleak, yet beautiful, lyrical and even poetic piece of Nordic Noir. Set in the harsh climes of Northern Norway, Bakkeid introduces the reader to one of the most complex characters, Thorkild Aske who wrestles with his own demons, seems to balance on the edge of sanity and stability, and yet is fully human. The reader is given the privilege of walking beside Thorkild and getting a sense of the inner world he navigates.
“It is so real, this dream sequence, so intense, that when I wake, or drop back into reality, it is as though I have just walked through the wrong door and my body is filled with panic”.
The story itself is like a majestic crescendo, slowly swelling as we are taken on a journey to find he who is missing, only to confront that which is missing in us as well.
Bakkeid uses the landscape of Norway to its full advantage.. and the reader is transported to this arctic environment, immersed in this chilling tale.
I actually loved this and read it like it was a poetic reflective narrative. 5 stars and looking forward to the Thorkild Aske #2 when it is translated to the English.

Me han sobrado más cosas de las que me han gustado. El momento enema, la inmersión contada en tiempo real, el rollito paranormal... Y que en ningún momento te cae bien el protagonista ni sientes la más mínima empatía o complicidad con él. Un libro prescindible.
This book was out of print in Norwegian when I first decided I wanted to give this Norwegian debut author a go. I almost bought it in German instead but figured I'd just wait a little. Luckily for me the wait wasn't long and definitely worth it.
Thorkild Aske has just been released from prison. He has lost his status as a police investigator in the process. As a favor, he travels to northern Europe to look for a lost Danish man, Rasmus, presumed dead. Thorkild has enormous issues with the reason he ended up in prison. Another unreliable narrator, I thought, high on medication and alcohol. However, as a former police inspector, he is definitely a cut above the rest.
I am not a fan of anything paranormal, not even in fiction, but I thoroughly enjoyed Thorkild's battles with the ghosts of past and present, real and imagined. The atmosphere of the half-renovated light house, the unforgiving landscape of Northern Norway worked very well together. Definitely recommended.
I am not going to wait long to read the next installment, with the alluring title "Meet me in Paradise" ("Møt meg i Paradis").

Started this book twice. Stopped at the same point both times. I don't think it's the fault of the book. It's just not grabbing my attention.
