An axe murderer. Swedish writer Hakan Nesser’s second Inspector Van Veeteren is about, no kidding, an axe murderer. In Nesser’s fictional Maardam (which is somewhere in Northern Europe) Detective Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is on holiday in the coastal village of Kaalbringen (also a fictional town) Leggi tutto

Borkmann's Point: "the point beyond which we really don't need any more information. When we reach that point, we already know enough to solve the case by means of nothing more than some decent thinking. " And it is precisely at this point that Inspector Van Veeteren begins to focus on the identity

Description: Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is called to the sleepy coastal town of Kalbringen to assist the local police in the investigation of two recent ax murders.

Van Vėterenas valdo Antra Hakan Nesser knyga serijoje apie visai kietą inspektorių Van Vėtereną ‘Lūžio taškas’ paliko ne prastesnį įspūdį nei pirmoji. Galbūt šį kartą ir neradau tiek daug tų išskirtinių ‘Sąmonės akies’ bruožų - daugumos fabulos atskleidimo dialogais, lengvo humoro - bet labai lengva Leggi tutto

I gialli svedesi di Nesser mi piacciono, per l’umanità e la comprensione con cui i personaggi sono tratteggiati –che ricordano il Maigret di Simenon-, per la tensione non esagerata ma continuata che ti spinge ad andare avanti nella lettura, per la soluzione del caso che arriva inaspettata, anche se Leggi tutto

Daha çok 4.5/5 diyebilirim. Güzel bir finale sahip şahane bir polisiyeydi bence, ben katili bulduğumu sandım ama o çıkmadı, iyi ki de çıkmadı. Bu kitaptaki en büyük sorun edit kısmı. Bir de neden saik diye kimsenin bilmediği, duymadığı, garip bir hukuki terimi katilin yöntemini anlatmak için kullanı Leggi tutto

O Νesser έκανε και πάλι το θαύμα του! Έγραψε ένα απο τα κλασικότερα μυθιστορήματα της Σκανδιναβικής 'Σχολής' (1994) Αστυνομικής Λογοτεχνίας, εκφράζοντας το πνεύμα της δεκαετίας του '90, το οποίο επέβαλλε σαφή και έντονα κοινωνικά μηνύματα. Το συγκεκριμένο μυθιστόρημα τιμήθηκε με το Bραβείο Καλύτερου Leggi tutto
