A short Christmas review:
When two top writers get their heads together, what can you expect? Brilliant new Nordic Noir that's what. I am on a role with good creepy, complex books at the moment and this one is a great addition.
A police officer and a media blogger join forces in what is a very unique and modern way.I haven't read of this mix before in a crime novel - at least not in this way - and I loved the match of the serious and the not so serious aspects of our society. There are a lot of questions up for discussion with this novel. What is celebrity and what causes controversy nowadays?
Clues being left around the city - now that's a nice touch and this really stood out for me how the city and the sites lead to more clues. I LOVED the fact this was a new series and the two characters soon felt as if I'd known them for years. They're very different but a good match. Complex too. Blix's past in particular - well you just know that is going to come back to haunt him in later books.
First book of many I hope!

Väldigt spännande! Polisen Blixx och journalisten Ramm som radarpar. En bok mer åt Agatha Christie-hållet fast i nutid, med en utstuderad mordkedja.
Gillar också uppläsaren Jonas Malmsjö

Holy flying …. kjøttkaker!!!! (that’d be meatballs) I can’t even begin to think about what to say about Death Deserved. Except … I am making space on my shelves for what will undoubtedly become one of my favourite series.
You may remember my sadness when Thomas Enger’s previous series featuring Henning Juul came to an end. That series was my first introduction to Scandi-Noir and a new love affair was born. But now Thomas Enger has embarked on another adventure, alongside Jørn Lier Horst and as I found myself getting introduced to an entirely new premise and a whole new cast of characters, I quickly realised the dark cloud of sadness had lifted. (dramatic much
