En kirjannut tämän kirjan arviota heti ylös. Nyt pari kuukautta myöhemmin muistan, että kirjan nimi tulee ovelasti esiin kirjassa, mutta en enää muista miten. Lukukokemuksen kuitenkin muistan ja se oli intensiivinen. Kirja oli mukaansatempaava, ja nyt jälkikäteen ajattelen, että pitää ehkä ottaa tämä uudestaan lukulistalle, jotta saan (uudestaan) selville sen, miten kirjan nimi liittyy juoneen.

Secretos imperfectos es una novela sólida, bien planteada y estructurada. Sus autores presentan una trama creíble, con un abanico de personajes que aparecen cuando deben, convincentes y aportando todos al desarrollo narrativo en su medida. Todos los personajes son relevantes y tienen su momento de importancia en la novela.
Un gran trabajo de ambientación consigue que el lector se sitúe rápido en cada escenario, a pesar de los nombres en sueco.
Desde luego una novela negra con un gran planteamiento, fundamentada y creíble, con unos personajes bien planteados. Con muchas ganas de continuar con la saga.

Dark Secrets is the first installment in the ‘Sebastian Bergman chronicles’, a series of books centred around a Swedish criminal psychologist. The authors Hjorth and Rosenfeldt have created a character who I didn’t find particularly likeable however, I found myself identifying with so many aspects of his nature and way of being. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing - the authors have crafted Sebastian to be representational of aspects of humanity that we don’t always discuss or give rise to. He’s emotionally bereft, doesn’t care what others think of him, a loner who won’t let anyone in to his inner space, seeks sexual conquests like an addiction, and harbours deep unresolved grief. I love all this about him and see aspects of what these characteristics represent in myself.
This excerpt resonated with me:
“He had been able to touch the possibility of a different life. This was both frightening and tempting at the same time. There was something safe and secure about the life he had known for so long. However negative it might be, there was a comfort in the routine. It was an affiliation which he had somehow chosen himself, and which appealed to his innnermost being” p383.
So aside from my own psychological confrontations, this book is a fantastic read with a plot that builds in a logical and way maintaining reader interest. I find that some of the themes of the book are similar to some other scandi noir books that I have read however this is sufficiently different. The authors masterfully build suspense and mete multiple layered endings that are extremely satisfying and the clincher on the last page was quite a jaw dropping moment.
Looking forward to the rest of these chronicles and going on a journey with Sebastian.

Boken hadde driv og spennende karakterer, men eg liker ikkje når det er ubesvarte spørsmål på slutten (det var deler som ikkje blei forklart på slutten).

Ein Hauptcharakter, den man irgendwie mag. Dennoch wünsche ich ihm, dass er mal so richtig auf die Fresse fliegt (obwohl ihm das Schicksal schon übel mitgespielt hat).
Der Fall war richtig clever und ich habe manche Wendungen nicht kommen sehen.
Und das Ende war der Hammer. Da könnte man fast 5 Sterne geben.

An good start of a new series. I am allways happy to start a new series of scandinavian noir.
Interesting story, well written and suspenseful. I doubted between 3 and 4 stars. I hope I can give the 4 stars for the next part.
