Curve ball

Revisado: 02-07-25

Liked the characters. They were well drawn and flawed. It has a nice build up to something you wouldn’t expect. The reader could do female and a child’s voice well.

Not well thought out

Revisado: 09-05-24

Narrator’s voice sounds too mechanical like the voice of robot. Detectives not very smart. The ultimate killer was even in the frame until the very end, felt random and not in a good way. Can’t recommend.

So glad he narrated his bio because he brought it to life. Great read and life.

Part mystery/self discovery/historical

Revisado: 04-20-22

One of the better audible books in part due to the narrator mixed with the classical music. The rhythm is the narrative felt like the cadence and flow of a classical piece with tension, harmony/dissonant between the characters and serious. This is a great story.

There were few places when the narrator mispronounced some foreign words but not enough to throw me out of the story. I noticed only because I speak other languages.

I knew that black classical musicians were few and far between and that they face high, intolerable levels of discrimination and racism. Perhaps this story will open minds, out the racists and let the musicians be musicians. I have hope.

Old fashion detective work

Revisado: 02-02-18

I have mixed feelings about this story. My first time reading a Nesser story. The main detective Van something is immediately likeable or interesting. At the end when it’s revealed who committed the murder, we’re told via a conversation between Detective Van something and his 2nd in command. Very anti-climatic you don’t necessarily see the detective work. Van something figures out on his own, in his own head then tells the others involved in the case. Apparently the killer confessed to Van something and that’s that, but there isn’t a scene in which the reader hears the confession. Feels like the writer wanted a tidy ending and to end the story without much effort. Don’t know if I will read/listen to the next in the series.

Complicated Scandi thriller

Revisado: 01-26-18

Kepler manages to pull off his over complicated plot. Midway, though, the story is bogged with the back story of the main character the hypnotist Eric Maria. If you can be patient, it’s worth it. I liked the reader—he’s the first reader that can do female voices and not sound like a man trying to sound feminine. There’s definitely a twist or two in this story. I’m addicted to Scandinavian thrillers and this one does not disappoint.

Can Nesbo get any better?

Revisado: 05-10-17

I was blown away for how much I love and hate Harry Hole. He's infuriating, caring but careless. I didn't expect the book story to end the way it did. What a twist without being forced. Love this series. Can't wait to see the movie starring Michael Fassbender.

Addicted to Hole

Revisado: 02-08-17

I love this series. Harry Hole is complex, frustrating and can annoy you all at once. This makes for compelling character. The plots of these Hole stories twist and turn then loop back to the beginning of another story. I'm addicted. Love the reader Robin. He is Harry Hole.
