Publisher's summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Cabin by Jørn Lier Horst.  

Jørn Lier Horst is the winner of the 2018 Nordic Noir Thriller of the Year award.

You loved Wallander, now meet Wisting.... 

It's been 15 years since Simon Meier walked out of his house, never to be seen again. 

And just one day since politician Bernard Clausen was found dead at his cabin on the Norwegian coast. 

When Chief Inspector William Wisting is asked to investigate he soon discovers he may have found the key to solving Meier's disappearance. 

But doing so means he must work with an old adversary to piece together what really happened all those years ago. 

It's a puzzle that leads them into a dark underworld on the trail of Clausen's interests and vices. A shady place from which may never emerge - especially when he finds it leads closer to home than he ever could have imagined.

Spellbinding

Well written and performed. With lots of twists and turns kept me engrossed right until the end.

Couldn't finish

Quite a boring story line. Was about 2.5 -3hrs in until something of interest happened and it's not particularly a long book. Audiobooks usually keep me awake during my commute to/from work, but this just made me space out and sleepy. The names are quite hard to follow, I didn't finish it and won't be coming back to it either. Not worth a credit. Narration was good though.

excellent writer, fine translator, flawless narrat

as always with Horst, the feeling of real experience, real detail, and a team that can truly work well together, provide a solid and comforting experience for the reader, as the complex and chance influenced crimes are steadily revealed in the wider frame of the human condition.
I've read almost all of his Horst's crime writing, and enjoyed every one.
Perhaps, if I choose to express criticism, I might say that his daughter (a kind of embodiment of Wisting's feminine intuition and curiosity) gets caught into danger in too many volumes to be believable. He and she should both be able to see what's coming by now!

Decent stuff

This is just as well structured as the first one in the series, but because the crimes being investigated are less interesting I found it significantly less gripping. Nicely paced and with some good sequences though, and I'm happily moving on to try the next one.

Good story line. Love Jorn Lier Horst's writing.

Don't like the narrator. Every person sounds the same! Go back to Saul Reichlin !!

Fantastic

Another fabulous reading from the Wisting series. it's pleasurable, realistic and at the end it also had a twist I didn't expect. Simply loved the story. Would definitely recommend it

The narrator’s dull one tone manner of speaking

I dislike the interpretation of Wisting by this particular narrator. It makes him seem almost one dimensional, very cardboard. Much prefer the books when read by Saul Reiclin. Love the actual book though.

Excellent

Good storyline, love the main characters. Enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested to the end. No fanciful nonsense, just plain good policing and journalism.

Gripping

An excellent and realistic Scandi detective novel. The plot is tight,logical,with enough twists to throw the reader off course. Beautifully narrated as are others in this first class series. Highly recommended.

Great story well narrated

It kept me interested right until the end, it was well written and well read. Great book.
