Well despite losing most of the traits that made me interested in this character, I still enjoyed the next book. And we all know I gotta finish a series. ( ) This is the fifth book in the series of mysteries about Finnish detective Maria Kallio, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the others in the series. The good points of the series remain in place: the central character is appealing, and the subsidiary characters are well developed. The Finnish background is interesting, with some notable differences from the US - people ride around on bikes a lot, heavy drinking is clearly more acceptable, and they have a serious and generous parental leave policy! But -- First off, I spotted the guilty party about half way through, which is sooner than usual and sooner than I like. Secondly, Maria, who is supposed to be a competent police officer, puts herself and her unborn child into a very dangerous position for no good reason. Fortunately, I've already read Number Six, which brings the series back to its usual standard. Jag tror aldrig jag har läst en bok som så ensidigt handlar om brottet. Ofta passar författaren på att beskriva något annat inom ramen för sin kriminalhistoria. Lehtolainen avstår från det. Eller... det gör hon nog kanske inte, men hon väljer att beskriva konståkning. Den tråkigaste sporten som finns. Det ger ju inga pluspoäng hos den här recensenten, förstås. Kriminalhistorien är inte heller särskilt intressant. Den tar aldrig riktigt fart, och läsaren blir inte tillräckligt nyfiken. Det spelar helt enkelt ingen roll vem det faktiskt är som mördat Noora. Men ett plus skall romanen ändå ha. Den är bra skriven. Det flyter bra hela tiden, så även översättningen är bra. Detta gör att den klarar sig upp på en trea, även om den är mycket svag. Men en tvåa känns alltför lågt. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Noora Nieminen was destined to become a world champion. But when the sixteen-year-old skating sensation is found slain with her own skates, her promising career is unexpectedly cut short.Detective Maria Kallio is seven months pregnant, but that isn't going to stop her from putting everything she has into solving the murder. With a promotion on the line and her arrogant adversary, Pertti Str m, vying for the new job, Maria is determined to make an arrest. Could it be the deviant criminal who's lately been terrorizing the city? Is it the former lover of Noora's mother, who has been stalking the family since she rejected him? Or might the killer be someone even closer than that? With so much riding on Noora's success--and so many people with motives to murder--the detective must sift through the long list of suspects before the case turns ice cold.Death Spiral, the fifth book in Lehtolainen's international bestselling Nordic crime series, is a chilling tale of hot tempers, high stakes, and the untimely death of a rising star.
