Samuel Bjørk

Dit vond ik een iets minder boek van meneer Bjørk. Een beetje chaotisch neergezet met veel te veel personages. Ik kon het makkelijk wegleggen en heb dat ook vaker gedaan om dat een ander boek meer trok. Holger Munch en Mia Krüger worden ingeschakeld om de moord op een jong meisje op te lossen op een klein eiland dat bij Noorwegen hoort. Als ze de plek van de misdaad onderzoeken vinden ze een aanwijzing naar de verdwijning van de jongen die drie jaar geleden spoorloos is verdwenen. Het onderzoek wordt opgeschaald en er komen steeds meer politiemensen om mee te doen aan het onderzoek. Het wordt natuurlijk wel opgelost, maar dat is een chaotische onderneming.… (mere)

Being the third instalment in Samuel Bjork’s Munch/Kruger book series you know from reading the first two books what you are letting yourself in for with this series, and this book is as brilliant as the first one, I’m Traveling Alone.

The Boy in the Headlights brings back Holger and Mia this time on the hunt for a thrill-killer, a serial killer who is choosing his victims randomly and without motive making him even harder to predict and catch.

It begins with the opening scene of a young boy with antlers on his head being found in a remote frozen forest and the story goes full circle so we find out how the young boy came to be all alone in the middle of nowhere. The storyline in-between is a fast passed, clever, multi narrative that doesn’t take its foot off the gas right up to the last page.

It does leave you wanting more and now it will be another year until we find out what the future holds for the two outstanding detectives.

If you haven’t read the first two books in the series you could still jump straight into this one as it gives a slight back story, just enough so you won’t get too lost in the details, however I would recommend reading them, not only so you can follow the stories of the characters but also because they are definitely worth a read!

Many thanks to the author Samuel Bjørk, publishers Random House UK, Transworld and NetGalley for my copy in exchange for an honest, independent review.
