Easy listening

Hypnotic narration. I enjoyed it. It's a good story to listen to if you want a crime story that isn't intense. More procedural. End-of-the-work-day easy listening.

Follow D I Huss

D I Huss is a busy lady she is the best D I in Goteborg, she is a mother of twin girls that keep the parents busy, she encourages her chef husband to be the best he can be. With all this going on, she solves crimes. Nightrounds is a good story, fast moving and a good ending. I have enjoyed all Ms Tursten novels and looking forward to her next adventure for D I Huss.

Nordic Noir Disappointment

What a letdown. I'm only 6 chapters into this but I can already tell this is a real turkey. The story is written like a second rate TV crime drama. Trust me, this author is no Nesbo, Larson, or Mankell. Pretty juvenile. But it gets worse. The narration at 1x is the slowest I've ever heard in 10 years of listening to Audible. Out of sheer desperation I increased playback speed to 1.25x. At this speed the reading was a more normal pace, but - of course - some of the narrator's voices now sounded cartoonish. But there's more ... this is by far the worst narration I've heard. Now I know why it was only $5. You've been warned!
