Notă biografică

From the same publisher - and even the same editorial team - that brought you Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy comes Carin Gerhardsen, author of the Hammarby-series, five crime novels that take place in the southern parts of Stockholm. Originally a mathematician, Carin Gerhardsen has become one of Sweden's most highly praised crime authors, considered "Sweden's number one female crime author", by Bokhora, the most popular book blog in Sweden. Many of the scenes depicted are self-experienced, based on episodes from Gerhardsen's own childhood.

Recenzii

"Carin Gerhardsen writes so vividly, like she is painting with words, gripping your heart and soul in an ever-tightening tourniquet." - Peter James "Gerhardsen brings a timely perspective to the serial killer genre, as her characters are engulfed by the worst possible consequences of their childhood cruelties. The pages turn themselves, right up the final startling twist." - John Verdon, bestselling author of the Dave Gurney thrillers, incl. Think of a Number "The books are fast-paced and addictive: finely tuned pieces that virtually demand to be read in one sitting" - Barry Forshaw, author to Death in a Cold Climate - A Guide to Scandinavian Crime Fiction "Yes, Carin Gerhardsen is good. Right now she is the top female crime author for me." - Bokhora, Sweden's #1 book blog "There is a presence that makes the brutality crawling uncomfortably close." - Katrineholmskuriren "It succeeds permeating behind the common ideas of what creates a criminal. The entertainment just follows along." - Boras Tidning "This is thrilling, well-written and strangely enough, sympathetic. It's going to be incredibly interesting to see if Carin Gerhardsen also in the future manages to raise the downsides of the society in the same way." - Dala-Demokraten "Awfully exiciting social realism. She goes out strongly, spot on, and the reader gets glued to the socialrealistic descriptions of the everyday life. (...) Written with a social pathos, Carin Gerhardsen is compassionate with the victims, and sometimes with the killer. The intrigue is oh so thrilling." - Norran "A praise for Carin Gerhardsen's great depictions of Stockholm." - Hallands Nyheter

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

From the same Swedish editorial team and publisher as Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy comes a sensational new crime writing talent
Ingrid Olsson returns home from a Stockholm hospital to discover a man in her kitchen. She's never seen the intruder before. But he's no threat - he's dead.
Criminal Investigator Conny Sjöberg takes the call, abandoning his wife Åsa and their five children for the night. His team identify the body as that of a middle-aged family man. But why was he there? And who bludgeoned him to death?
Lacking suspect and motive, Sjöberg's team struggle until they link the case to another - apparently random - killing. And discover they face a serial killer on a terrible vendetta . . .

The Gingerbread House is the first title in The Hammarby Series, novels following Detective Inspector Conny Sjöberg and his murder investigation team - a gripping feast for all fans of Jo Nesbo, Camilla Lackberg and Henning Mankell.
