À propos de cet audio
Penguin presents The Gingerbread House by Carin Gerhardsen, a sensational new crime-writing talent from the same Swedish editorial team and publisher as Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. Read by the actress Candida Gubbins.
Ingrid Olsson returns home from a Stockholm hospital to discover a man in her kitchen. She's never seen the intruder before. But he's no threat - he's dead. Criminal Investigator Conny Sjoberg takes the call, abandoning his wife Asa and their five children for the night. His team identify the body as that of a middle-aged family man. But why was he there? And who bludgeoned him to death?
Lacking suspect and motive, Sjoberg's team struggle until they link the case to another - apparently random - killing. And discover they face a serial killer on a terrible vendetta.... The Gingerbread House is the first title in The Hammarby Series, novels following Detective Inspector Conny Sjoberg and his murder investigation team - a gripping feast for all fans of Jo Nesbo, Camilla Lackberg, and Henning Mankell.
Carin Gerhardsen was born in 1962 in Katrineholm, Sweden. Originally a mathematician, she enjoyed a successful career as an IT consultant before turning her hand to writing crime fiction. Carin now lives in Stockholm with her husband and their two children. She is currently working on the seventh title in the series.

"Gerhardsen brings a timely perspective to the serial killer genre, as her characters are engulfed by the worst possible consequences of their childhood cruelties. The pages turn themselves, right up the final startling twist" (John Verdon)

Pretty good, new to me, author
The story was challenging for me to believe. I can't imagine a school of any kind allowing that behaviour to go on for an entire year without a parent or teacher stepping in. It held my attention though, which I was thankful for (I've been struggling with books grabbing and holding my interest lately). I wasn't enamored with the narrator and was hoping the author switched to a new one for subsequent book. Candida Gubbins is capable of one voice and only one voice. Sometimes louder, sometimes quieter. Men sound the same as women, children sound the same as men and women. From that perspective I lost who was doing and saying what a few times. I'm wrestling with getting the next in the series simply because the narrator wasn't good. I mean, at least TRY to sound like a man or child, especially when the main character is a man. In fact, why a female narrator when the main character is a man. Was it to make a point? It didn't, it detracted from the story IMO.
