The minders were grisly & gruesome and the nature of their crimes unpalatable. Even worse was the writing style, poor character description & development (who is the countess/climber? Why are they given those names?) all made me loathe to finish this. ( ) This had all the ingredients of a good story, but I found it hard going. The translation was terrible. I found it hard to follow and was as if conclusions were reached without any real research or evidence. The plot was certainly good, but the way it played out was not great. This book felt as if it was never going to end and it was disappointing. no reviews | add a review
"One morning before school, two children find the naked bodies of five men hanging from the gym ceiling. The case leads detective Konrad Simonsen and his murder squad to the school janitor, who may know more about the killings than he is telling. Soon, Simonsen realizes that each of the five murdered men had a dark and terrible secret in common. And when Simonsen's own daughter is targeted, he must race to find the culprit before his whole world is destroyed. Published in twenty countries around the world, with more than 150,000 copies sold in Denmark alone, this book introduces a brother and sister duo who have taken the thriller world by storm. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and brilliantly written, The Hanging is a stunning crime novel from two authors whose international fame is exploding. "-- No library descriptions found. |
