Publisher's summary

For a seemingly perfect family, a single word will change everything in this edge-of-your-seat thriller for fans of The Silent Patient and The Whisper Man.

It's early summer in Stockholm. Agneta and Stellan Broman have just waved off their daughters and grandchildren when the landline phone rings. The caller says just one word: "Geiger." Agneta hangs up, finds her old pistol, kills her husband of 50 years, and then disappears from their home without a trace.

Sara Nowak, a police officer in the prostitution unit, is called by a colleague who is investigating the murder. Stellan was a widely loved former television presenter, and Sara grew up next door to the Bromans, spending much of her childhood in their grand house. Both the victim's daughters and Sara are devastated by the killing, and going against all regulations, Sara gets involved in the investigation. It is the beginning of a dark journey, leading back to the Cold War and fatal ideologies, and the truth about Sara's own childhood.

Exciting, compelling, and full of twists you'll never see coming, Geiger is Gustaf Skördeman's incredible debut thriller.

Great book, unexpected twists.

A surprisingly engaging book, with plenty of unexpected twists and excellently written.

Ok, maybe I didn't love the main character. At times I wonder if it was necessary to go to such lengths to highlight her tragic flaws. But I have to admit that yes, it makes perfect sense.

Unlike other listeners I didn't find the book too long or felt it heavy on historical snippets. We are given relevant background to the story/characters, not a history class. If anything I could live without less examples on how S is so sanctimonious.

The narration was very good, except for the pronunciation of foreign names.

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