About this listen

When a six-year-old girl is found dead, hanging from a tree, the only clue the Oslo Police have to work with is an airline tag around her neck. It reads, 'I'm travelling alone'.

Holger Munch, veteran police investigator, is immediately charged with reassembling his homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must convince his erstwhile partner, Mia Krüger - a brilliant but troubled investigator - to return from the solitary island where she has retreated with plans to take her own life.

Reviewing the evidence, Mia identifies something no one else has noticed - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number one. Instinctively she knows this is only the beginning. To save other children from the same fate, she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and confront the most terrifying, coldhearted serial killer of her career....

Excellent - found myself seeking away just to listen, the story kept your attention to the end. I was uncertain about the narration to begin with, but it works, ticked every box.

Great Narration.

Sometimes the narrator forgets the tone she has used for the character so can be a bit confusing when conversations are taking place but other then it was enjoyable

I struggled through this book but maybe if I had read, istead of listened, I might have rated it higher. The story itself is fine, although in places the narrative owes more to Enid Blyton than Jo Nesbo, it's a little chatty, over explanative. It's a dark story but it didn't hold my attention as it should - I have seen 5 star reviews on Amazon but I don't see it. The other problem, which may accentuate the problems I had with the almost child-like story telling, is the narrator. Laura Paton has a lovely speaking voice, reads very well, and is hard to fault on the surface apart from when she says 'stepped in blood', for example, then I hear 'Pooh was a silly bear'. Her voice reminds me of a mother reading fairy stories to children and her male voices are poor; can't be helped and other's may not find that her voice lacks the gravitas and dark tones needed to help this book. Maybe Sean Barrett would have been a better choice. Look, this is just a personal point of view but that's what these are for.

Is it me?

Typical Scandinavian thriller, if you like jo nesbo you'll like this. After listening to the Harry hole series I wouldn't something similar and this delivers perfectly. Listened to this over watching game of thrones so must be pretty decent 😉

Very good book, really enjoyed it!

A great listening, red herrings and plot twists aplenty. Highly recommend to anyone interested in murder mystery. Subtle themes like addiction and friendship shine through too. really good book.
