#MarchIntoOz #NoLies There are a few big lies told in this one. I read this a few years ago , but it stays with me as a top class thriller/mystery ! Highly recommended for a rainy/snowy/chill-out day read. Excellent book πŸ‘πŸ»

A great read for a rainy day. You never know how it will end ....

Not my favorite Håkan Nesser but still a good one. As I mentioned before, it's not the typical crime story. It's more about the characters; their personalities, stories and development, than about the crime itself. So some might say there's too little going on. There were a lot of mysterious things happening to the main character and I was curious to find out who or what caused them. But in the end some questions remain unanswered.

??Ich verfluchte das Zeitalter, in dem wir lebten und in dem es den Menschen möglich war, jede Sekunde Kontakt zueinander aufzunehmen, ganz gleich, wo in der Welt und in welchen Verhältnissen sie sich gerade befanden. Und dass man der Ansicht war, auf jeden Fall ein Anrecht auf eine Antwort zu haben. Dass man alle und jeden anrufen oder anschreiben und im Großen und Ganzen eine unverzügliche Rückmeldung verlangen konnte.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈWhen I looked up to that window I saw the face. It was pale, almost white, and belonged to a young man, who obviously watched us from up there. Absolutely motionless, so for a moment I thought it was a mannequin. But it was no mannequin. After 10 seconds of standing there and watching each other, he gently raised his right hand and did a very clear gesture in front of his neck. He moved it across his throat. The meaning was unequivocal. #scary

??Gruselige Vorstellung... es wird spannend!
??Free translation: "I lit the two candles on the table. Lay down and thought for a moment. Listened to the whispering sounds of the rhododendron branches on the window sill. The wind had picked up. There were no curtains in the living room. If there stood a person or animal two meters away from my house looking inside, I would never know." What a scary notion!

After reading all five GoT books in a row, I needed something very different. So my next read will be a #crimenovel by the Swede #hakannesser in #German. I've already read a few of his books and loved them! A recommendation for everyone who does not want to read a typical crime story.
