For Waldemar Leverkuhn the day could not have begun more auspiciously. He and three of his friends, all retirees, have just won the lottery. Itâ??s a modest sum when split four waysâ??certainly not enough to lift Waldemar out of the plain apartment he shares with his quiet, weary wifeâ??but itâ??s enough for the old men to toast their good luck with a blowout at their favorite bar. The celebration ends, however, with Waldemar drunk, stumbling, belligerent, and eventually dead in his own bed, stabbed twenty-eight times in the chest with a carving knife.
Taking charge of the case is Intendent Münster, Chief Inspector Van Veeterenâ??s longtime right-hand man, and his beguiling colleague Ewa Moreno. They seem to have a surefire lead with the disappearance of one of Waldemarâ??s friends on the same night as the murder, but after a cursory look into his whereabouts produces more questions than answers, the investigation suddenly seems to solve itself when Marie-Louise Leverkuhn, Waldemarâ??s wife, confesses to the crime and calmly resigns herself to her fate. The case is, but all accounts, closed. That is, until one of the Leverkuhnsâ?? neighbors in the same unassuming block of apartments goes missing and turns upâ??spectacularly, gruesomelyâ??in pieces around the city.
Thrown back into the fog and chasing after wisps of clues that tenuously but inextricably link the murders, Müenster and Moreno take center stage in HÃ¥kan Nesserâ??s haunting n… (altro)
I've rarely enjoyed a police procedural as much as I did this one. A man is killed, violently, while sleeping off a drunken night out, in his bed. His wife finds him and will a little delay calls the police. Who could have done it? The doors were unlocked, but that was typical. Nothing was taken, and the violence suggests something personal. Munster starts investigating the friends, the family, and any other connections he can find. It's as if he's pulling up a whole rotten tangle of ropes and weeds long drowned in the canal. Excellent.

Van Veeteren is absent for the majority of the book having taken time off to run a bookshop. As a consequence Münster and Moreno come to the fore and more is learnt about them. The murders didn't seem to be the focus or perhaps the repetitive nature of much of the police work made this seem mundane. There is something to Nesser's writing style that will lead me to read more in the series. ( )
Nesser tillhör mina absoluta favoriter. Härligt språk blandat med en riktigt skön och torr humor. Härliga karaktärer och riktigt bra intriger. ( )
