It was such a joy to see one more book in this series, I'm sad to see it end. ( ) Al patólogo forense Lars Pohjanen le quedan pocas semanas de vida cuando le pide a Rebecka Martinsson que investigue un asesinato ocurrido hace nada menos que sesenta años. El cadáver del padre de un famoso boxeador que desapareció en 1962 sin dejar rastro es descubierto ahora en el congelador de un alcohólico hallado muerto. Rebecka acepta involucrarse en el caso, aunque para ello oculte una conexión personal con el mismo. Sus pesquisas le llevarán hasta el "Rey del Arándano Rojo", el que fuera capo del crimen organizado en la región durante décadas. Un crimen organizado cuyos tentáculos siguen apoderándose lentamente de la ciudad, con una Kiruna que está siendo demolida y trasladada a unos kilómetros para dar cabida a la mina que ha estado devorando la población desde abajo y que la expone ahora a intereses dudosos. Åsa Larsson, una de las autoras de novela negra más reconocidas por los lectores de todo el mundo, regresa a la ficción con Los pecados de nuestros padres, una novela de una fuerza y una tensión implacables por la que ha recibido el Premio a la mejor novela de suspense de Adlibris, el Premio a la mejor novela policiaca de los Storytel Awards y, por tercera vez en su exitosa carrera, el Premio a la mejor novela negra del año de la Academia Sueca. last of a series of six murder mysteries centered around Rebecka Martinsson, a lawyer working for the police department in Northern Sweden. Larsson has an unusual style, built around the memories of the past and the connections formed in the present that combine to shape the decisions of not only the suspects but also the townspeople connected to the case. this leads to a rich mix of story that's illuminating to read. i have read them in order, which was useful, as the large cast grows psychologically over time and the reader becomes attached to their continuing stories too, but this is an intricately plotted mystery that was captivating to read. I have loved this series, and it's hard to know exactly why. The mysteries always take a back seat to the inner lives of the characters, the protagonist behaves in self-destructive ways in spite of being highly intelligent and driven, and there's always a detailed historical backstory that is woven throughout the current crime story, which could drag the pacing down. On top of it, this entry involves boxing, which interests me not at all. Yet ... I loved it. A drunken hoarder is found dead in his disheveled island house, and his estranged sister is surprised to find a body in his freezer. It's identified as a long-missing boxer who vanished, leaving his young son behind decades ago. The murder is beyond the law because the man died so long ago, it's outside the statute of limitations, but a retired detective agrees to look into it for the sake of the son, who became a distinguished boxer himself. Rebekka Martinsson becomes involved when the grumpy and ailing medical examiner follows a clue she gives him and discovers the drunk had been smothered to death. Then three young women from Eastern Europe who may have been staying at the hoarder's house are found dead, run over and their bodies dumped in a nearby depopulated village. So there's plenty of plot, but the heart of the story is the interrelationships of the characters, a detective, a retired detective, the prosecutor, the boxer whose father's body is found in the freezer, and the woman who discovered her drunken brother's body. I sighed when Rebekka's dreadful boss came onstage being his usual awful self, but even their relationship gets interesting. If you are reader who mainly reads for the mystery plot, it might be a bit much. But for those familiar with the series who have come to love the characters and the setting - in far northern Sweden, in Kiruna, where the mines that run under the buildings have led to subsidence, making it necessary to relocate the entire city and where the surrounding nature is vividly described - well, it's a treat. I'm only sad that this is, apparently, the final volume in the series. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur Reihe
Forensic pathologist Lars Pohjanen has only a few weeks to live when he asks Rebecka Martinsson to investigate a murder that has long since passed the statute of limitations. A body found in a freezer at the home of the deceased alcoholic, Henry Pekkari, has been identified as a man who disappeared without a trace in 1962: the father of Swedish Olympic boxing champion Brje Strm. Rebecka wants nothing to do with a fifty-year-old case - she has enough to worry about. But how can she ignore a dying man's wish? When the post-mortem confirms that Pekkari, too, was murdered, Rebecka has a red-hot investigation on her hands. But what does it have to do with the body kept in his freezer for decades? Meanwhile, the city of Kiruna is being torn down and moved a few kilometres east, to make way for the mine that has been devouring the city from below. With the city in flux, the tentacles of organized crime are slowly taking over. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
