Story
A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

Story
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Publisher's summary
One of the New York Times’s Best Crime Novels of the Year • A Good Morning America Buzz Pick
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A serial killer in a small Swedish town commits his first murder the same night the prime minister is assassinated—a “thrilling and profoundly poignant” (Angie Kim) novel by one of the country’s top criminologists, hailed as “the finest crime writer we have in Sweden” (David Lagercrantz, author of The Girl in the Spider’s Web and other novels in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Series)
“Christoffer Carlsson is to the police procedural what Cormac McCarthy is to the Western.”—Anthony Marra, author of Mercury Pictures Presents and A Constellation of Vital Phenomena
A CRIMEREADS AND KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
In February 1986, the Halland police receive a call from a man who claims to have attacked his first victim. I’m going to do it again, he says before the line cuts off. By the time police officer Sven Jörgensson reaches the crime scene, the woman is taking her last breath. For Sven, this will prove a decisive moment. On the same night, Sweden plunges into a state of shock after the murder of the prime minister. Could there possibly be a connection?
As Sven becomes obsessed with the case, two more fall victim. For years, Sven remains haunted by the murders he cannot solve, fearing the killer will strike again. Having failed to catch him, Sven retires from the police, passing his obsession to his son, who has joined the force to be closer to his father.
Decades later, the case unexpectedly resurfaces when a novelist returns home to Halland amid a failed marriage and a sputtering career. The writer befriends the retired police officer, who helps the novelist—our narrator—unspool the many strands of this engrossing tale about a community confronting its shames and legacies.
A #1 bestseller in Sweden, Blaze Me a Sun marks the American debut of the youngest winner of the Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year award, the top prize for Swedish crime writers whose past winners include Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell.
Critic reviews
“The first great crime novel of 2023 is Blaze Me a Sun by the decorated Swedish crime writer Chrisoffer Carlsson, who twines together national and personal trauma to devastating effect... What I most loved is how Carlsson plumbs what can and cannot be known about human lives and criminal investigations . . . how familial love can blind people to difficult truths, and how 'closure' often never happens.”—New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)
“While this riveting work shares many aspects of the traditional police procedural, it also overflows genre boundaries to present the effects of fatal violence on the minds and lives of various characters across several generations...a gripping psychological study of the perils of forcing facts into preconceived patterns, and a reminder of how devastating learning the truth can be.”—Wall Street Journal
“A Swedish neo-noir by way of Sartre, Blaze Me a Sun is at once a crime novel and a gripping study in how we struggle to understand our own lives and the lives of others. The writing is spare and moody, elegantly unwrapping decades of guilt and damage.”—Flynn Berry, New York Times bestselling author of Northern Spy, a Reese’s Book Club pick

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Too long. Too trite
Over 13 hours of an agonizing plot that could have been told in half the time/half the pages. The author goes from first to third person very awkwardly: he starts in first person for a brief time and then tells the story from the perspective of others making you wonder how this happened? Was it magic, Borgesian magical realism or just awkward construction. Then he finishes in the first person, wrapping up the novel like a chore that must be finished with plenty of cliches. Save your precious time, and listen to something else.

Not this author’s best work
I assume this was originally written in Swedish, so I understand that reading or hearing this in its originally intended language would be a completely different experience. For me, an English speaker, this was a difficult book to listen to. The narrator did a fabulous job, but the names of people and places were so jarring I couldn’t get a feel for the story and felt myself zoning out quite a bit.

WONDERFUL book!!!
This is a terrific book, very fully realized. It works on many levels. I’m a new fan and am enthusiastically recommending this. I’m sending copies to friends and family.

So good I didn’t speed it up
I completely enjoyed this book in every aspect: language, flow, story, twists, mystery, pacing, translation, and narration. I wish it were a series and I could listen all day.

Keep with it
If you feel like the story is sputtering at times, don't quit. Keep with this many layered story. Life itself has its ups and downs, and its moments of stagnation. Yes, this is not primarily a police procedural but a novel about humans. But you will not be disappointed in the procedural part. The quest for the truth. This one will stay with me. I feel sure.
