sianw1992 's review for:
The Chestnut Man
by Søren Sveistrup
I haven't read any Nordic Noir for a while, but picked up The Chestnut Man based on another review. I am a die hard fan of The Killing, it was the first programme to introduce me to foreign drama, so I was looking forward to the novel.
The concept of a chestnut man being left at a series of murders is exciting and somewhat chilling and following Thulin and Hess as they go about solving the crime was a roller-coaster ride. I liked Thulin and her no nonsense attitude and could clearly picture downtrodden Hess, with his different colour eyes. I felt that the clues unraveled well and I didn't see the murderer coming at all, but I believe this somewhat hindered it because I like my suspects to be slightly more obvious than what they were. All in all, I found myself gasping at the horrific crimes and laughing and the humour dispersed throughout. This is a solid crime novel and I look forward to reading more by Soren Sveistrup. I'm also looking forward to the series coming to Netflix next year.
