#Bookvent – Celebrating my high reads of 2024
My day nineteen #bookvent choice is the newest in a collection I completely love. Written by a very exceptional partnership, these Norway set thrillers at all times have me hooked from the very first web page and hungry for extra by the tip. They’re steeped in emotion, pressure and thriller, and an actual sense of tragedy has pervaded the previous few books leaving me questioning if it will be attainable for both of the lead characters to know a contact of happiness once more. Taking one of many pair again to part of his life he has virtually forgotten, and introducing to the world a beautiful new waggy tailed companion, my nineteenth decide is …
by Thomas Enger & Jørn Lier Horst
Buried sins
Brutal revenge…
Two years in the past, Alexander Blix was the lead investigator in a lacking individual’s case the place a younger mom, Elisabeth Eie, was kidnapped. The case was by no means solved.
Blix’s profession in legislation enforcement is now over, however her kidnapper is again, leaving proof of Elisabeth’s homicide in Blix’s mailbox, in addition to hints that there are different victims.
On the similar time, Emma Ramm has been contacted by a teenage woman, whose stepfather has been arrested on suspicion of killing a childhood pal. However there isn’t any physique. Nor are there another suspects…
Blix and Ramm can rely solely on one another, and when Blix’s fingerprints are discovered on a baby’s drawing at against the law scene, the current comes uncomfortably near the previous.
A previous the place a sufferer has discovered their very own, stunning type of remedy.
And somebody is watching…
Surprising, relentless and unbearably tense, Sufferer marks the return of the worldwide bestselling, blockbuster Blix & Ramm collection from two of Norway’s most interesting crime writers.
I genuinely can not imagine that that is solely guide 5 because it looks like Alexander Blix and Emma Ramm have been in my life endlessly. Every new guide brings extra thrills, extra menace and a heck of much more emotion than I even would have thought attainable, and makes me love the books all of the extra. Add within the delight that’s Terry, and I feel this may increasingly simply be in regards to the excellent guide. Exploring two very totally different, however equally complicated, circumstances, the guide actually pushes our protagonists to their limits. Emma is investigating a homicide after a teeneager asks her for assist in saving her step-father who stands accused of homicide, despite the fact that there isn’t any physique to be discovered. Blix turns into engrossed in a chilly case, one he was working earlier than he was pushed out into the chilly so far as the police pressure was involved. With new proof being actually left at his door, together with some which could level in his route, he feels compelled to try to resolve the investigation, even when his former colleagues don’t need his assist. Each circumstances are intense, fused with thriller and misdirection, however possibly one thing only a fraction extra looking forward to Blix – one thing lengthy overdue for my part. The guide carries the emotional gravitas you’ll anticipate given the pair’s latest historical past, and I beloved how the authors saved drawing us again to Blix’s story, and his guilt over what occurred to his daughter, with out overwhelming the remainder of the plot. They play that stability so completely, delivering pressure when it’s wanted, emotion to drive the willpower to unravel each circumstances, and a bit of ray of hope when it appears all else is misplaced. And, after all, Terry, in all of his waggy tailed glory. How can anybody resist that. These are two irresistible pairings – each Enger and Horst and Blix and Ramm, and I’ve hopes for the longer term given the way in which this guide was left. With nice characters, stuffed with drama and depth, pitch excellent pacing, and exploring some very emotive matters with sensitivity, this was a very good addition to the collection. Liked it.
