3,5 / 5 tähteä. Viihdyin hyvin tämän tumma sävyisen dekkarin parissa. Vetävä tarina piti otteessaan ja oli mainiota lääkettä lukujumin parantelussa.
Meren aaveet oli paikoitellen melko puistattava ja tunnelmaltaan kauhuun vivahtava. Yliluonnollisia elementtejä hyödynnetään ja yhdistettää Pohjois-Norjan karuun luontoon.
Päähenkilö on moniongelmainen ja elämän runtelema entinen poliisi, mikä ei ollut sinänsä yllättävää. En hirveästi pitänyt Thorkildista, ainakaan aluksi. Hän oli hyvin masentava tyyppi. Loppua kohden onneksi mielipiteeni alkoi muuttua hieman positiivisempaan suuntaan, mutta hänen ehdottomasti tarvii hankkia apua itselleen.

I Will Miss You Tomorrow is the first instalment in the Thorkild Aske Mystery series set in the vast, isolated expanse of Norway. It features disgraced ex-Chief Inspector Thorkild Aske and is very different from the usual run of the mill thrillers; this is Nordic Noir at its finest and Bakkeid's first foray into the crime genre. Former Internal Affairs Interrogator Thorkild Aske is just out of prison when he is asked to investigate a disappearance that the authorities have no interest in pursuing. He travels to a small, remote town on the northern coast of Norway to try to discover the truth about Rasmus Moritzen who vanished whilst trying to convert a lighthouse into an activity centre. But the abandoned lighthouse holds many dark and disturbing secrets and as the stormy weather whips the sea into a frenzy the badly decomposed body of a faceless young woman is swept ashore. Soon Thorkild will find himself once more on the wrong side of the interrogation table.
This is a book that fizzes with originality; the type of originality that is a rarity these days. Every now and then a work of crime comes along and stuns me and reminds me of why I read this genre, and I Will Miss You Tomorrow certainly falls into that category. It's cleverly plotted, complex and completely gripping from start to finish. There are the customary twists and turns and mystery aplenty as more and more people go missing and the narrative unfolds. Thorkild is a larger than life character who we are given little detail about in the beginning but as the book progresses I warmed to him and felt for him in terms of what he'd been through. Bakkeid's ability to seamlessly combine an engrossing plot, a bleak and claustrophobic atmosphere, a unique and magnetic main character and the empty, cold and unforgiving landscape of his native Northern Norway, make this a powerful and haunting debut. I am already looking forward to seeing more of Thorkild. Many thanks to Raven Books for an ARC.

Egentlig et godt plot og godt skrevet med en del humor, men også meget speciel (på den knap-så-gode måde)! Brød mig aldrig rigtig om nogen af personerne...
