Prachtig mooi boek!, must-read! ( ) Een boek met een mysterie en een plot, maar dat mag zeker niet de enige reden zijn om dit boek te lezen, maar mag ook geen reden zijn om het te vermijden. Hou je van boeken die breed uitweiden, mooi geschreven zijn (in het deens althans), met allerlei subverhalen, intriges, politieke spelletjes (Borgen voor gevorderden heb ik ergens gelezen), werwijzingen hebben naar Tycho Brahe, Bohr, Einstein? En hou je van boeken waar het handig blijkt om een bloknoot bij de hand te hebben voor alle aantekeningen en personages? Lees dan dit boek! Heerlijk! Het enige minpunt zijn de herhalingen (hoewel ook wel af en toe handig als je geen aantekeningen hebt) Einstein liked inventing phrases such as "God does not play dice," "The Lord is subtle but not malicious." On one occasion Bohr answered, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do. Hmmm....this book was offered as a Kindle First and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. The story sounded intriguing, a woman found dead on a Danish sea shore with mysterious objects surrounding her and a mystery surrounding a famous orphanage. However, it was a bit too similar in some ways to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - a disgraced journalist, a hidden scandal high in the Government - which made me feel as though the author was trying to imitate that book. Additionally, I didn't care for the foreshadowing of doom the main character kept tossing out. It had interesting parts to it but the end was irritating and unsatisfying and all I can say now is, it was okay. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Winner of the 2012 Glass Key Award given by the members of the Crime Writers of Scandinavia All the best homes are by the water, or so the matron of Kongslund Orphanage tells her small charges. But at this particular house by the sea, not all is as it appears. On September 11, 2001, on a desolate beach on the outskirts of Copenhagen, police begin investigating the strange death of an unidentified woman. Surrounding the body are what appear to be offerings to the deceased: a book, a small noose, a dead golden canary, a linden tree branch, and a photo of the Kongslund Orphanage. As the police puzzle over their bizarre findings, the Twin Towers fall in walls of flame and the case is quickly overshadowed by the terror half a world away. Years later, as the sixtieth anniversary of the matron's reign at Kongslund approaches, identical anonymous letters are sent to six of the home's former residents, hinting at a cover-up that has allowed Denmark's most influential to hide away their dirty secrets and keep their grip on power. As one tenacious reporter hunts for clues, he begins to unravel the true parentage of some of Kongslund's "orphans." Can he figure out who is sending the mysterious letters and who murdered the woman on the beach years earlier before it is too late? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
