The Petrona Award: 2023 Award

It has a complex plot with many characters whose stories intersect and come together well in the end. Tačiau įsibėgėjus prie to pripratau, veikėjus pradėjau lengviau atskirti ir supratau, kad kiekvieno iš jų istorija čia ne veltui. Aguardo a oportunidade de ler mais obras do autor/série e saber em que ponto das suas vidas se encontram os personagens que tanto me conquistaram.Kaip tyčia, visi labai skirtingi - tyrėja, žurnalistė, benamių pora, visų atstumtas keistuolis, kalinys, veikėjas iš pirmosios knygos, paauglė mergaitė. Vanessa is an intriguing protagonist carrying a heavy personal burden, her daughter had died while her foster daughter has moved permanently in Syria, and she makes for a decisive and prone-to-action character who moves forward the story with some brief interludes where she discloses to the people closest to her, her concerns and grievances. Vengono, inoltre, introdotte diverse figure maschili, che rappresentano i vari prototipi di uomini violenti o deviati e le loro “controparti” femminili. Kiekvienas skyrius turi savo atskirą, jie maišosi ir painiojasi, jų kokie dvidešimt, jei ne daugiau, o vardų nei norėjau, nei sugebėjau prisiminti. Maria Adolfsson will receive a trophy, and both the author and translator will receive a cash prize.

The title is also applicable to Engman's novel as it features a wide variety of characters, their social status spanning from the most affluent to the destitute and homeless, who are narrating a story with multiple plot strands that unravels with a raw force, reminiscent of the best works by authors of the magnitude of Jo Nesbo and Lars Kepler. The title is also applicable to Engman's novel as it features a wide variety of characters, their social status spanning from the most affluent to the destitute and homeless, each narrating a story with multiple plot strands that unravels with a raw force, reminiscent of the best works by authors of the magnitude of Jo Nesbo and Lars Kepler. After the stand-alone debut novel, Engman began writing a series about police detective Vanessa Frank, with books Tierra Del Fuego (2018), Femicide (2019), and the upcoming title The Widows, to be published in fall 2020. Authentic in terms of the, realistic and oozing social awareness, approach towards its main themes, Pascal Engman's Femicide introduces a fresh take on the, saturated, genre of Scandinavian crime fiction and involves the reader in a labyrinthine and told by multiple narrators story rooted in the plights challenging the contemporary Swedish society. This year’s Petrona Award shortlist sees Sweden represented with two novels and Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland with one novel each.

Har du ännu inte läst denna författare ska du inte vänta längre, gör det på en gång, lägg alla andra böcker åt sidan! This quirky Icelandic story quickly draws the reader in, and information is revealed slowly as the mystery is solved. A brutal murder sets in motion an investigation into layers of hidden secrets and of societal attitudes, and the interaction between the superbly portrayed characters creates a thrilling tension and believable environment. Segunda admissão: demorei cerca de metade do livro até poder afirmar que me sentia completamente conquistada por esta leitura. This month Saga Egmont will release the English audiobook and ebook versions of the bestselling political thriller Solitaire by Niels Krause-Kjær.

I infiltrated incel forums – and I’ve never been more scared

Emelie had received threats from her partner Karim Laimani who is in prison, when she told him she wants to move on.

Tačiau patiko, kad visa detektyvo prielaida paremta ne kažkokiais kerštais, ne savitiksliais psichopatais, o pasigilinta į įdomų šių laikų socialinį reiškinį (nemėgstu „soc problemų“, bet ši buvo įdomi): incels – involuntary celibate – bendruomenę.

The myriad of narrators may sound perplexing to the reader of this review, but Engman proves that he possesses the required skills to widen the scope of his narrative, adding new characters even after the midpoint. There were twenty-one female, nineteen male, two female/male pairs and one male/male pair of authors. The Vanessa Frank series is sold in over 20 countries and has been translated into various languages, among them Spanish, Italian, German and Polish. A dark and compelling story with echoes of Stieg Larsson's THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, this is an exceptionally strong start to the series, with a balanced blend of journalistic detection, psychological thriller and police procedural.

A escrita, juntamente com os capítulos curtos e personagens extremamente bem construídas tornaram esta leitura viciante.
