Era tutta un'altra storia

“The sense of it in actual fact being this self-willed, cold-blooded perpetrator who was choreographing the whole investigation began to seem inescapable.” Ahhh, a Swedish crime novel… Scandi noir. In Swedish, this book is titled “A Completely Different Story”, and it’s a perfect title for many r Leggi tutto

One of my favourite things about #2 in the Inspector Barbarotti series, The Root of Evil by Hakan Nesser is, we didn’t have to wait until the last third of the book to see our hero. He enters in Chapter 1 – Happy Days!! He’s still the same odd, special, clever, and funny, Gunnar Barbarotti. He is st Leggi tutto

”I am not like other people. And I do not want to be.” Chapter 1, page 1. Enter one Inspector Gunnar Barbarotti. Could it be??? Admittedly he is off on hols with his lady love Marianne.

I don't like crime novels. It's just not my thing, they're usually too shallowly focused on solving a half-witted crime and the characters - aw geez, don't get me started on the characters. But this one is different. This one is a crime novel for people like me, the crime is of course ever present - Leggi tutto

The Root of Evil is the second book in Hakan Nesser's Inspector Barbarotti series. Our persevering detective must unravel yet another bizarre crime in Kymlinge, which must be the murder capitol of the world, per capita. Some characters from The Darkest Day return, and there are plenty of interesting Leggi tutto

Patika tīri labi. Labāk nekā pirmā grāmata. Tikai es nesaprotu, kāpēc šī sērija ir par izmeklētāju Barbadoti. Ne pirmajā, ne šajā grāmatā viņš neko tā arī neizmeklēja un neatklāja. Vienīgi lasot neatstāj tāda mālainas zemes sajūta - it kā mīcies pa kaut kādu staignu pamatu un ik pa laikam pazaudē sa Leggi tutto

nice writing, very human, sensitive but...and there are quite a lot of but. a weak ending. all this tension to discover in few pages that the so smart killer killed his wife and her lover in a short vacation just because she betrayed him. well betrayal is a great force when it is rightly described b Leggi tutto

Тази книга ми хареса повече в сравнение с първата част - "Човек без куче". Това е вторият случай на шведския инспектор Барбароти (Хари-Хулето на Х.Несер ) И тук го имаше станалото явно модно напоследък претупване на развръзката, в смисъл , не точно на " претупване", а че всичко се разреши буквално от Leggi tutto
