The Owl Always Hunts at Night by Samuel Bjørk

sams84's review against another edition

4.0

This is a dark, gritty, and engaging story that begins with the murder of a young woman found in the woods, naked and surrounded by signs of a strange ritual with occultist overtones. This falls into the lap of Holger Munch and his team to unravel the increasingly complex web that surrounds the murder while trying to manage Mia Kruger, keeping her unofficially involved while she fights her own demons. This is a dark, twisted crime thriller that draws on the modern world, as well as the traditional drivers of power and greed, in a disturbing and chilling way.

This Nordic thriller is a winner for me! My first Samuel Bjork book and it certainly be my last.

Geweldig boek

Ook het tweede deel van Samuel Bjørk is heerlijke thriller die je op het puntje van je stoel doet verder lezen. Een heerlijke mix van spanning, psychology en drama maken dit boek een absolute must read. Ik heb ervan genoten. Jammer dat het zo snel uit was...

• έδινε πληροφορίες για το προηγούμενο βιβλίο επομένως δεν ήταν τόσο αναγκαίο να το έχει διαβάσει
• πως γίνεται να τρέφεται μόνο με χάπια και αλκοόλ κ να είναι τόσο λειτουργική, δεν μπορώ να το καταλάβω
• βρήκα 3 λαθάκια στην μετάφραση
• Μη αναμενόμενο και η κάθε ιστορία που ανοίγει έχει πραγματικά σημασία
• (spoiler)

Ενω το βιβλίο πραγματικά μου άρεσε, βρήκα καλύτερο το πρώτο. Ίσως επειδή το πρώτο έχει περισσότερους φόνους, επομένως ειχε πιο πολύ ένταση και δράση στο να βρουν αμέσως τον δολοφόνο
