The author is still finding his way with characterization, and the personal story of the main detective, Odd Singsaker, is a bit weak still. Also, I hate books where a dog dies and this one had that. That's just a personal issue that always turns me off. Anyway, still looking forward to continuing the series as it becomes available. (  ) japaul22 | Apr 28, 2016 |  ) annbury | Jan 24, 2016 | . . . .possible spoiler . . . . . . . really, a character learns the name of someone who could be the killer and then goes to sleep? deciding it can wait until the morning? why not call the cop friend right away and then go to sleep? Just don't understand it. (  ) Mooose | Jun 5, 2015 | A dog walker out for a stroll comes across a woman's body with her throat cut and a small music box playing a lullaby lying on her. As small pieces begin to fall into place a teenager living in the same area runs away from home. There doesn't seem to be a common denominator other than than both enjoyed singing and it's up to Odd to put the pieces together, if he can remember them. The back story is as intriguing as the main plot and the author keeps the pacing taut on both, seamlessly blending the past and current until the final conclusion, and then leaving a teaser for another book at the end. I'm already anticipating book #3 as I've enjoyed the characters and melding of the historical along with the art aspect of each case. ( ) souleswanderer | Mar 30, 2015 |
 Det er noe med det når akademikere skriver romaner. Man forventer ikke krim liksom. Så jeg fastslår herved at Jørgen Brekke er en avart av bestanden. Han kan skrive krim, med et akademisk innhold. Teksten i «Drømmeløs» flyter bedre enn den gjorde i debuten. Vekslingene mellom tidsnivåene foregår uanstrengt, og viser hvor god Brekke er til å levendegjøre det historiske materialet. Litterært sett er fortidsfortellingen best, ikke minst takket være politimester Nils Bayer, en hvalross av et menneske, forfyllet og med skrantende helse, men med skarp tunge og et velfungerende intellekt. Her har Brekke skapt en herlig karakter som fyller historien med liv og fremdrift. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Odd Singsaker (2)
"A promising young singer is found dead in a clearing in a forest, gruesomely murdered--her larynx cut out, and an antique music box placed carefully atop her body, playing a mysterious lullaby that sounds familiar, but that no one can quite place. Chief Inspector Odd Singsaker, of the Trondheim Police Department, still recovering from brain surgery, is called in to investigate. Singsaker, now married to Felicia Stone, the American detective he met while tracking down a serial killer, fears the worst when another young girl, also known for her melodic singing voice, suddenly goes missing while on a walk with her dog one night. As the Trondheim police follow the trail of this deadly killer, it becomes clear that both cases are somehow connected to a centuries-old ballad called "The Golden Peace," written by a mysterious composer called Jon Blund, in the seventeenth century. This lullaby promises the most sound, sweet sleep to the listener--and as time ticks by, the elusive killer seems as if he will stop at nothing to get his hands on this perfect lullaby. Jorgen Brekke returns at the top of his game in this nonstop thrill ride through place--and time"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
