Publisher's summary

The first intercrim thriller to be broadcast on BBC Four, Spring 2013.

Sweden's elite are under attack.Two rich and powerful men have been murdered, and in the face of mounting panic - and media hysteria - a task force has been created to catch the killer.To his surprise, Detective Paul Hjelm, currently under investigation for misconduct after shooting a man who took the staff of an immigration office hostage, is summoned to join the new team.

But the killer has left no clues, even removing the bullets from the crime scenes, and Hjelm and his new teammates face a daunting challenge if they are to uncover the connection between the victims and catch the murderer before he kills again.

Published in the USA as Misterioso.

Duplication of 1st book in intercrime series!!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not if he/she has already read Misterioso as it is the same book!!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Blinded Man?

The explanation of the history of the song Misterioso.

How could the performance have been better?

If the reader had used several different voices for the different characters. He makes no effort to sound like a woman for the female roles. Most of the time he uses the same 'voice' — no different accents, no higher or lower. At times I thought it was one character talking to himself — even when it was a woman speaking!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. It was well written. Had a good plot. Some characters were developed, but not all the important ones.

Any additional comments?

This is the same book as "Misterioso: Intercrime, Book 1", only it is 4 minutes shorter. It is the same story read by the same reader, just released two years later. Was a waste of a credit. I will ask if I can get it back!!!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
