Laddar... Svalan, katten, rosen, döden (2001)av Håkan Nesser
![]() Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. At over 600 pages I suspect Nesser's success means that editors have been kept off him as this really could have been considerably tightened. The opening chapters were hard going containing underage non-consensual sex and strangling. Very grim. Good to have VV back on the scene even if he is a surly and at times unpleasant character. I need a cosy crime after this bleak number. ( ![]() Die Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Opfern ist unklar. Doch als der ehemalige Kommissar Van Veeteren widerwillig die Geborgenheit seines Antiquariats verlässt, um einigen mysteriösen Todesfällen nachzugehen, stößt er schnell auf ein deutliches Muster aus der Bücherwelt. Blake. Musil. Rilke. Offensichtlich ist der Mörder, den er sucht, belesen, denn die Decknamen, die er benutzt, sind literarische Anspielungen, und die einzigen Spuren, die er hinterlässt, sind seltene Gedichtbände. Van Veeteren ahnt, dass er es mit einem Mörder ungewöhnlichen Schlages zu tun hat. What do I think of this book. Well, that's a bit hard to say. I liked it, but... it really is a very slow book. The investigation into a murder (later 4 murders) is very slow. No clues, no ideas no nothing to work with. Despite the slowness, I liked it, as I already said. It still has that something that made me keep reading, wanting to know how it would end. If the murderer would ever be caught. And is he? Well, that's for you to find out :-) What bothered and distracted me from reading the most is, that I have no idea where to place the book. Is it Scandinavia? Then why are the streetnames and family names of the main characters and places so familiar to Belgian ones? Were they translated, maybe? While I do like the book, and I found it unusual in many respects, I did find some parts a bit disappointing The first thing I found unusual, and highly interesting, was that he gave us some insight into the killer, and his thinking. We are kept guessing as to who he is, and we are presented with him, in his relationships. I was very surprised that the good inspector hardly had any role in the book until I was 75% through, and then solved the identity of the murderer almost with no evidence. While intuition, and the ability to put together the pieces quickly, is indeed the hallmark of genius and experience, I was a bit surprised by the speed with which he solved the case. The ending was disappointing, in my opinion. I like the character portrayal of the killer, and the good inspector Possibly the best in the series so far. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Could this be Van Veeteren's darkest case yet? Desperately lonely, sixteen-year-old Monica Kammerle has little idea of what she is getting herself into when she begins an affair with her mother's latest partner; the sophisticated Benjamin Kerran... Months later, when a woman's strangled body is found decomposing in her flat, the Maardam police must discover who has committed this terrible crime. It isn't long before they realise the perpetrator may have killed before - and is likely to do so again. Meanwhile former Chief Inspector Van Veeteren finds himself drawn into the mystery when a priest, who has learned dreadful secrets, appeals to him for help. But when the priest falls beneath the wheels of a train and the police find more dead ends than leads, it seems Van Veeteren will have to come up with a new approach to unearth this dark serial killer, before he chooses his next victim...
