But there isn't a single photograph of the brothers together and neither Axel's wife nor his children has ever met a man called Brede ...
REVIEW:
I love some time with Scandinavian Crime and to be honest I had my eye on this book as I knew that Torkil was a name to watch out for from friends oversea’s who trumpeted his cause. So when this book landed I was more than happy to sit back and see what this would produce for me.
It’s well written, the prose solid, with good character development alongside plot. Add to this cracking dialogue and all round I was a more than happy reader. I also have to pass on congrats to the translator Robert Ferguson for making this a pure joy to sit back with and with the ease that it flowed. I can’t wait to read more in this series.
