Slightly disappointing read, not as thrilling and emersive as I had hoped picking it up. Wasn't keen on the writing style but might read something else by this author to get a better grasp if his writing is or isn't for me. But at the moment am not rushing to do so

En suverän deckare tycker jag kanske den bästa svenska bok i genren sedan Stieg Larssons. Jag väntar med spänning redan på nästa bok om Danny Katz kommer att följa honom fram till hans sista bok.

viktoriya's review against another edition

This book was a solid 4 from the very beginning. Then, as the story really took off, I thought "whoa, that will definately be a 5-star read". However, that feeling didn't last. Towards the end my head was spinning with all the extra stuff thrown in: secret military projects, voodoo, children psychopaths, and so on. It was way too much. I kind of wish the author would just pick one and stop.

Varjopojasta tuli vuoden 2016 ensimmäinen luettu kirja ja eka kirja Helmet-lukuhaasteeseen. Koukuttava ja otteessaan pitävä, mutta ei ehkä ihan ykkönen dekkarimakuuni, tietomurtojen yksityiskohtaiset selonteot ja maanpuolustukselliset koukerot tekivät tästä vähän 'maskuliinisen'. Miehistä testosteronia postiivisella tavalla uhkuva oli sen sijaan päähenkilö Katz, kyllähän tuommoisen sankariuroksen edesottamuksia lukisi mielellään useammankin kirjan verran. Seuraavaa osaa odotellaan siis!

Odotin enemmän takakansitekstin ja -hehkutuksen perusteella. Mutta joutuisa luettava ja sopivasti käänteitä, pysyi kärryillä kuka on kukin ja loppuratkaisu kyllä oli yllättävä, se piti paikkansa.

teško mi je pisati osvrt na krimić, to mi je novi žanr, još se ne snalazim dobro u njemu... nema se što puno reći ovdje: otmica djeteta, spletke i intrige unutar obitelji, nekoliko ubojstva, potraga za psihopatom itd... sve štima, ima svoj tok, sve je međusobno uredno povezano, klasična struktura. drži u napetosti, čita se brzo i lagano, bez mentalnog napora, rečenice su jednostavne.
nije neki vrh, ali solidno za provući knjigu kroz dva-tri dana.
