Vielleicht tue ich mich mit dem Thema auch einfach schwer... Kindesmissbrauch und Opfer, die zu Tätern werden... Spannend, ohne Frage, und ich wusste ja vorher, dass es noch zwei weitere Teile gibt. Trotzdem mag ich auch den Cliffhanger am Ende nicht so wirklich. Solide 3 Sterne, und ich werde auch den nächsten Teil noch lesen. A long, very disturbing and complex crime novel set mainly in Sweden which features a murder investigation lead by D.S. Jeanette Kihlberg. Shortly after the discovery of the first victim, others are found and the investigation expands to try to link them and discover the perpetrator. In due course, the help of o psychotherapist, Sofia Zetterlund, is sought in order to produce a profile of the killer. Both Jeanette and Sofia have unresolved issues in the lives and are mutually attracted, which adds another complication to the investigation. At times the novel moves rather slowly and at one point the pace of the book is reflected as “Jeanette feels like she’s talking to an encyclopaedia” and also there are a plethora of Stockholm street names. The novel explores the horrific crimes of child abuse and the driving force for the murders is revenge. There is no way that you can foresee the end and even Jeanette feels that she has not resolved the true background to the crimes. Thank you Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group via NetGalley for the ARC ebook of [b: The Crow Girl: Victoria Bergman, 1-3] by [a: Erik Axl Lund] This riveting and compelling story tipped the orbit of my planet. It knocked me off my axis. Some books are hard for me to review because of the power of their impact on me as a reader and human being. For eight months I have wrestled for fitting words to describe this read. Translated from Sweedish by Neil Smith; the over 700 pages are alive. Do not expect mediocracy. The tapestry of words although frightening, hold one in mental restraints. Think of [b: The Crow Girl: Victoria Bergman, 1-3] as a discovery of a shape-shifting community of people. Through the pen of [a: Erik Axl Lund] the reader is witness to the effects on victims by dark and deranged parts of upper society. Upstanding citizens are the monsters hidden in plain sight. Twisted souls released from their claws attempt to rise above such evil transgression. I apologize for not being able to give a better review. The writing, plot, subplots and characters are phenomenal. I recommend [b: The Crow Girl: Victoria Berman, 1-3] to readers who are seeking a unique story and crave a twisted carnival ride. Wow. Abusive Sex, language, and violence. This is the first volume of the Victoria Bergman trilogy. It is an insanely dark and incredibly powerful book. It is about a young woman who was grossly sexually abused by her father when she was a child. She received no support and not only developed a split personality, but also took advantage of young boys, whom she subdued and abused, but also killed. Jeanette Kihlberg, a Stockholm detective, is looking for the murderer after a boy is found dead in a park. His body shows signs of severe abuse. Kihlberg also has private problems and only realises when it is already too late that she is putting herself and her family in great danger with this investigation. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The newest international crime novel sensation: a fiercely suspenseful psychological thriller in which two women--a police detective and a psychotherapist--are faced with the question: how much suffering can one human being inflict upon another before he ceases to be human and becomes a monster? In a Stockholm city park, the hideously abused body of a young boy is stumbled upon. Detective Superintendent Jeanette Kihlberg heads the investigation, which quickly dead-ends: no trace of the boy's identity can be found. But with the discovery of two more children's bodies in similar condition, it becomes clear that a psychopathic serial killer is at large. Jeanette turns to therapist Sofia Zetterlund for help in identifying suspects, and as their lives become increasingly intertwined, professionally and personally, as we begin to know their particular histories, needs, and desires, as they draw closer to the truth about the killings--working together but, ultimately, each on her own--we come to understand that these murders are only the most obvious evidence of a hellishly insidious societal evil. As viscerally dramatic as it is psychologically intense, The Crow Girl is a tale of almost unfathomably heinous deceit and deeds, and of the profound damage--and the equally profound need for revenge--they leave in their wake." -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

But it had problems. Way too much unnecessary filler, describing every single unimportant action a character takes. There is some dated language, and treatment of gender identity. And finally the story is rife horrific violence/sexual violence in this book - even with my strong stomach I had a difficult time. I was also disappointed that the victims either became villains, or had unhappy/ambiguous conclusions. ( )
