After a student choir’s practice session at a Helsinki villa turns deadly, Detective Maria Kallio finds herself in the middle of the action - and her first murder case. Someone in the group wanted playboy Tommi Peltonen dead, but that’s one song these suspects refuse to sing. Behind the choir’s jovial facade lies bitter passion, and the victim’s seemingly perfect life hid a host of sins that made him a target of almost everyone in the villa. As a young female - and a redhead to boot - Maria knows that solving this case will help her overcome her perceived shortcoming in the eyes of her colleagues.

Before Harry took on the neo-Nazi gangs of Oslo, before he met Rakel, before The Snowman tried to take everything he held dear, he went to Australia. Harry Hole is sent to Sydney to investigate the murder of Inger Holter, a young Norwegian girl who was working in a bar. Initially sidelined as an outsider, Harry becomes central to the Australian police investigation when they start to notice a number of unsolved rape and murder cases around the country. The victims were usually young blondes. Inger had a number of admirers, each with his own share of secrets, but there is no obvious suspect.

Desperate to put an end to this organized crime, New York’s crusading mayor needs someone on the inside, and no one is in deeper than Alex. But to bring her new employer to justice, Alex will have to risk more than just her job and her reputation - she’ll risk her life.

Hated it!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I really enjoyed Snow White Must Die and bought this book because I thought it was a mystery too with same detectives as Snow White. I didn't read closely! I hate writers who create a supposedly brilliant woman who is so stupid when it comes to relationships with men! I haven't finished book and I will because it cost me a credit, but I can't believe the writer has a character refer to Sergio's rape of Alex as a faux pas!! Please!! And the narrator's voice is bad. She is terrible doing those different accents and men' s voices. Just read the damn book and forget female, male voices and accents!
Would you ever listen to anything by Nele Neuhaus and Christine M. Grimm (translator) again?
Yes, because I did like Snow White Must Die. The plot line of Swimming is not bad. The narrators voice and other elements of book are just maddening.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
She did really bad men's voices and the accents were horrible. Her Alex was ok, but I couldn't tell what she was trying to do with the Mayor and his wife and their accents!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Swimming with Sharks?
Haven't read all of it. Just disgusted with myself for not reading book summary and reviews, as I usually do when I purchase a book.

Oh, please!
Would you try another book from Nele Neuhaus and Christine M. Grimm (translator) and/or Justine Eyre?
This was my second book by Nele Neuhaus, so I was ready to try this time. Not again.
What was most disappointing about Nele Neuhaus and Christine M. Grimm (translator) ’s story?
It's not really a mystery. There should be a category for Romantic Mysteries, so you have a better idea of what you're getting.
What didn’t you like about Justine Eyre’s performance?
She's a bit rushed, and her interpretation of men's voices sounds like caricature
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Swimming with Sharks?
Most of them.

What would have made Swimming with Sharks better?
story is unbelievable.
What could Nele Neuhaus and Christine M. Grimm (translator) have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Story is just unbelievable. No intelligent person would act the way the "Brilliant" Wall Street M&A acted.
How could the performance have been better?
voices of males were not realistic.

Disappointing
Is this the same Nele Neuhaus who wrote The Ice Queen and Is Snow White Dead? Enjoyed the earlier books greatly. In moving the setting to New York, the author seemed to absorb the bad writing of so many American authors. So much sentimentality! "She/ he never felt this way before'' over and over. Enough already! This book was long enough that it didn't need so much filler. Also, the female protagonist was not a particularly sympathetic or consistent character. Loved Neuhaus' books set in Germany, but not this one!

Catastrophic narration!
Would you consider the audio edition of Swimming with Sharks to be better than the print version?
I would have with another narrator. Her voice is tiresome to listen to, and having just finished an audio book narrated by the pro Scott Brick I realize how much the narrator can contribute to how you do or don't enjoy an audio book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Swimming with Sharks?
The way Alex realizes what is going on in the company.
Would you be willing to try another one of Justine Eyre’s performances?
NEVER
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did, in spite of Justine Eyre.
Any additional comments?
Pls try to find good narrators, they mean so much to how you perceive a book. Most narrators, both female and male are very good but this one was a disaster.
