Description

Police officer Ann Lindell is great at solving crimes, but she doesn't have much luck in her personal life. When she meets journalist Anders Brant, Ann thinks her luck has turned around. But then Anders disappears without a trace and a homeless man's body is found with Anders' phone number in his pocket. As Ann races to find Anders, she hopes that she will not be too late, and she also hopes that whatever she discovers will not break her heart.

I've read two of Eriksson's Ann Lindell series and they were competent. The series has not been translated into English and published in order, which made for some confusion about Ann's conflicted life: lovers, pregnancy, motherhood, etc. But this one was just awful. Written by a man about a woman's purported sexual and emotional awakening by an absolute jerk. She daydreams through meetings about all the things this guy does with his tongue, and how she has finally met the man who will unfold her soul... a guy who "makes her feel seen and desired," by never listening to or caring about a single thing she thinks, does, feels, how her day is, anything, and tells her nothing at all about his either. Her son is now five and barely appears show more on the scene except to mention when he's conveniently at a friend's house. What was Eriksson drinking when he wrote this one? I ditched this one fast and won't read another. show less
I don’t plan to read any more books in this series. The plots have been okay but I don’t really care about the characters so I’m not particularly interested in what will be happening in their lives.
jag gillar Kjell Erikssons kriminalserie om Ann Lindell. På ett sätt är det väldigt mycket standard men det är bra skrivet, lättläst men ändå med en mänsklig anspelning i varje bok. Karaktärerna känns också levande och mänskliga på ngt sätt.

En deckarhistoria som börjar riktig bra, men tappar fart något så fruktansvärt mycket... Och upplösningen är inte så rafflande heller.
Men Eriksson skriver intressant utan att vara på något sätt iögonenfallanda, varker positivt eller negativt. Jag känner att jag gärna läser vidare, och det är värt en del, bara det.
Hade historien varit bättre hade betyget blivit högre.
Goed geschreven boek, dat spannend blijft tot op het einde. Er lopen verschillende verhaallijnen door elkaar, dus af en toe moet je er wel echt je hoofd bijhouden, maar dat lukt wel.
Bra krim. Fikk kjøpt den på svensk hos Norli i Oslo. Jeg liker denne serien om Ann Lindell. Har lest de fleste. Liker de som har handling fra flere land. Denne gangen er det Brasil.

Siste bok i serien heter Öppen grav. Ikke tilgjengelig i Oslo i mars 2011.

op het einde wist ik de dader niet te plaatsen. Werd rommelig
