Kovacs & Horn #1
Die Süße des Lebens
Einem alten Mann wird in einer Winternacht der Kopf zermalmt. Seine Enkelin verliert ob ihres grausamen Fundes die Sprache.
Gänzlich ungelegen kommt Kriminalkommissar Ludwig Kovacs in privater Hinsicht dieser Mord zum Jahreswechsel nicht - doch dieser Tote, darüber macht er sich keine Illusionen, wird ihn länger beschäftigen.
Ein psychopathischer Familienvater schlägt seine Tochter krankenhausreif, ein dauerlaufender Benediktinerpater hört Stimmen und eine junge Mutter glaubt, ihr neugeborenes Kind sei der Teufel.
Das Psychogramm dieser Kleinstadt ist alles andere als beruhigend. Doch wer ist verantwortlich für die grausame Tat?

Iestājoties pelēkuma sezonai, var patīkami iegrimt šajā kriminālajā ziemas stāstā - te būs gan asiņaina, gan garīga vardarbība (brīdināšu, ka tā ir arī pret dzīvniekiem un bērniem), gan arī skaista ziema, sniegs, zvaigznes un izjusta šīs ziemas baudīšana.
Šī grāmata varētu sagādāt vilšanos tiem, kas ciena spraigus sižetus, trillerīgas lietas, pakaļdzīšanās, spriedzīti un tamlīdzīgi. Šis stāsts ir vairāk apcerīgs, par cilvēku un lietu dabu un ar lielu uzsvaru uz to, kas notiek mūsu galvās. Ja godīgi, pie beigām man tomēr jau arī gribējās dinamiskāku notikumu virzību un spraigāku finālu. Bet kopumā šo grāmatu ļoti izbaudīju.
““Reizēm dzīvē viss vienkārši nobrūk tev pāri, un tu neesi gatavs,” vīrietis bilda. Un reizēm dzīvē nekas tev nenobrūk pāri, un arī tam tu neesi gatavs, domāja Kovačs.”

Man vienmēr patikušas grāmatas, kur var redzēt, ka autors izprot tēmu par kuru raksta. Arī šeit liela nozīme, varbūt pat vairāk nekā pašai izmeklēšanai, ir veltīta garīgajām problēmām. Un šeit teju visiem varoņiem tādas ir.
Šajā romānā nebūs spraigu notikuma pavērsienu, pakaļdzīšanās utt. Nedaudz arī traucēja daudzum daudzie personāži, kas te bija, te zuda. Bet kopumā labi uzrakstīts psihiloģiskais romāns ar detektīva elementiem. Jāuzteic arī labais tulkojums.

Pieklājīgs detektīvs, kur galvenā ir mazās austriešu pilsētiņas atmosfēra, cilvēku dabas ēnas pušu pētīšana, ne reālā nozieguma izmelēšana. Tīri ok izklaide, bet izlasi un aizmirsti (brīdinu - satur vardarbību pret dzīvniekiem, ko man gan nenākas viegli aizmirst).

Grāmata nebija viegli lasāma, bet šoreiz tas man patika.
Kādā Austrijas mazpilsētā, kur vienuviet dzīvo vienkārši un ne tik ļoti vienkārši cilvēki, brutāli noslepkavots gados vecs vīrs. Ir noziegums, ir izmeklētājs un psihiatrs, ir vairāki aizdomās turamie. Tomēr šis nav tipisks kriminālromāns, drīzāk stāsts par cilvēku neizdibināmo dabu, it īpaši par tās tumšo pusi.
"Kurš uz kaut ko tādu ir spējīgs? [..] Cilvēks, kuram ir problēmas ar dzīves saldmi, lūk, kurš ir uz to spējīgs."

man trūkst vārdu, cik ļoti man šī grāmata patika. it kā kriminālromāns, taču noziegums ir tikai tāds nežēlīgs iemesls, kā legāli nokļūt sniegota ciemata iedzīvotāju mājās, prātos un psihiatra kabinetā. un to kabinetu vajag visiem, bez izņēmuma.
"es ēdu kartupeļu biezeni ar ceptu sīpolu gredzeniem. lore uztaisīja. garšo tīri okei, vismaz tie gredzeni. bet viņa tik un tā ir poļu mauka. dzeru piparmētru tēju."
šis ir diezgan lieliski, man šķiet.

Tengo que ser honesta, me costo trabajo leerlo, no logro engancharme, porque desde mi punto de vista, fue demasiado psicológico con la trama, ya se, que de eso se trata, pero es que, es difícil engancharte a una lectura cuando te pasas paginas escuchando los pensamientos de los actores principales, fue demasiado para mi.
Eso no quiere decir que el libro sea malo, no lo es, esta extraordinariamente bien escrito y el thriller es definitivamente un suspense interesante.
Una pequeña niña es testigo de la muerte de su abuelo, esto la lleva a quedar en shock, casi en estado catatónico, por lo que la llevan a ver a un psicólogo para esclarecer que fue lo que sucedió.
No les voy a contar mas, los invito a que lean el libro, puede ser que a ustedes les enganche mucho mas que a mi

After a few hundred mysteries, you get accustomed to the 'rotating-pov' sort of device employed by half of them. The idea that each new chapter will introduce, and then return, in rotation, to the inner voice of yet another character. What the Lady Of The House worries about. What the Chauffer thinks. What the Butler knew. But from the inside, from within their point of view.
It makes things mysterious at first, setting the stage that way, and to be honest, solves a 'voicing' problem for the author; how to transition from the conscience or internal monologue of one figure, directly over to another's, without having to do a lot of re-set. If the reader expects to be inside a new/ returning character every chapter, it's easy to situate them after a few rounds, and expedites character exposition in the process.
With that, I have to confess; much as I'm a fairly veteran reader of mysteries and know the characterization salad-spinner system pretty well--- in the end of this one I wasn't quite sure what, or more exactly who, had caused what happened to happen. I know who it wasn't, but the more bent the internal narrative, and the more bent characters in one novel, the more difficult it is. I'd blame the translator if it weren't for exemplary prose and poised storytelling throughout. So I'll blame the Author. Okay then, moving on.
Ordinarily, slow-dawning detail and elusive clue tracking make for a good mystery. Here in fact we have a corpse and crime-tape fluttering in the Austrian wind by page 29; it takes our detective all the way to page 119 to get to the whiteboard in the squadroom, the layout of the trail of clues. Usually, as mentioned, this is all to the good. What works against the flow is the relentless "Our Town" sort of exposition, which author Hochgatterer employs throughout nearly every chapter. Well past the center point of the book, we're being introduced to further, unimportant characters, who only serve to crowd the scene. Yes, of course, it camouflages the murderer, but it's overkill, pardon the expression. It's an enormous talent that can take dozens and dozens of characters and integrate them on the fly. Here, we struggle with that.
That said, the Detective and the major characters are great, and worthy of another outing. Personally I always like a sort of cantankerous, non-linear Chief Detective. Ala Morse, it adds a dimension to an otherwise flat or dimension-less Chief Advanceman Of Plot. Unexplained 'peculiar' is intriguing, when done well. And that's what saves the book. Here's the Commandant, pursuing his hobby:
The sky had remained clear. From the kitchen window he could see the pale red tint of the evening in the southwest. The first stars would soon be visible. The telescope was beside his bed; the last few times he had not bothered to put it away. Tonight, he would go up to the roof, take his time, and align it properly. He would start by looking at the zenith, where at this time of year Andromeda was in view … of course it bothered him, when his other colleagues kept riding him about it. But when Strack had asked him what the point was of spending hours staring through a tube, he had said, "I'm looking for God, that's the point," and all of them had shut up, for good.

This is a thoroughly dissatisfying book on its simplest level, and a maddening one on a deeper level. Alternating between the perspectives of a few different main characters, the chapters often use language so consistently vague that it's (a) very hard to know what's going on; and (b) not clear just who these characters are and how they're related to the other characters. These problems contribute directly to the fact that, at the end, it's not clear exactly who the killer is--though it's supposed to be.
On a deeper level, the book is maddening because each and every female character is viewed exclusively through the male gazes of those around her. None of the main characters are women or girls, and none of the women and girls who do appear speak wholly for themselves. (Indeed, the youngest girl in the book doesn't speak at all.) To say that this makes for a one-sided point of view should be so obvious that the author's editor or agent should have pointed it out to him. I, for one, will not be reading other books by this author.

Na tessék, egy osztrák skandináv krimi, gondoltam magamban. Annyi hó van benne, hogy attól még Nesbo is felhúzná a gyapjúkesztyűjét. Mondjuk azért a helyzet (mint általában) itt is bonyolultabb, Az élet édessége ugyanis nemcsak szépirodalmi igényű krimi, hanem szépirodalom, ami kriminek álcázta magát (mondjuk hogy a kettő között hol van a határvonal, azt ne kérdezzétek). Négy szálon gombolyított történetről van szó, amiből az egyik E/1-es elbeszélővel operál, egy másik olyan szorosan követi az elbeszélőt, hogy az már szinte E/1, és a fennmaradó kettő is bőven enged bepillantást a központi figura gondolatfolyamaiba – ez azért már jelzi, hogy nem egy andalító sanzonban lesz részünk. Tény, hogy az elején van egy brutális gyilkosság, és az is tény, hogy az egyik szálban rendőrök vannak, akik bizony végeznek is némi nyomozati munkát*, de nem ők a kulcsfigurák, hanem a (szakmája szerint pszichiáter) író kvázi-avatárja, Horn doki. Ő az, akinek a szemén keresztül talán a legerősebb benyomásokat kapjuk az osztrák kisváros életéről – és hát amiként a kalapácsos ember mindent szögnek lát, úgy a pszichiáter meg mindenkit kötöznivaló bolondnak (talán magát is), és e könyv alapján nehéz is vele vitatkozni. Horn doki részletesen taglalt munkássága az, amitől e könyv legalább annyira tűnik szociopaták, bántalmazók, skizofrének és depressziósok fájdalmas karneváljának, mint egy gyilkosság történetének. De hát végtére is a skandináv krimiktől sem idegen a pszichológiai vonal – nyilván mert a „varázstalanított világban” a kevés fel nem térképezett mágikus hely egyike az a sötét lyuk, ami az ember lelke mélyén található. No most hogy a pszichológia ásta azt a lyukat, vagy ellenkezőleg, nála van a zseblámpa, azt nem tudom, de hogy ez a könyv egy jól megírt, sokrétű regény a barlangászat iránt érdeklődőknek, az tuti.
* És nagyon szimpatikus rendőrök. Kovacs felügyelő és kollektívája (csupa eredeti, ígéretes figura) engem nagyon érdekeltek, szerintem bennük volt a potenciál, hogy akár egyedül is elvigyék a hátukon a történetet – de úgy fest, az író leszavazta magában ezt a lehetőséget.

This is not a who's-done-it. Superficially it is the story of a crime, there is the police (Kovacs) and a psychiatrist (Horn), but in the end that all does not matter. It's a book about human nature, a pessimistic book in a way, a book about ordinary people in a small town and their psychotic behaviours, a book about the savor of life and the taste of death. It's an easy read and it is worthwile. This is the first Kovacs / Horn book, the second, "Das Matratzenhaus" is already waiting for me.

Sedmogodišnja Katherine, nedugo nakon Božića, provodi ugodnu večer sa svojim djedom, koju prekida pojava noćnog posjetioca, s kojim njezin djed izlazi u dvorište. Kad Katherina napokon krene potražiti djeda, nađe ga razmrskane glave. Šok je toliko velik da djevojčica zanijemi i hitno joj je potrebna psihološka pomoć. Lokalni psihijatar Raffael Horn, premda već ima i više pacijenata nego što može izdržati, ipak prihvaća slučaj i tako se neželjneo upliće u raspetljavanje ubojstva. Polako pokušava razgrnuti djevojčičin otpor, i od nje doznati važne tragove, ako ne već i identitet ubojice. Time bi psihijatar pomogao policiji, posebice komesaru Kovacsu, s kojim je već prije surađivao kod sprečavanja samoubojstva nestabilnoga pacijenta. Kovacs, koji je nakon propaloga braka i aktualne, distancirane veze, i sam lagano psihički nestabilan, shvaća da se ne radi o nesretnom slučaju, nego o hladnokrvnom i planiranom ubojstvu. Istovremeno netko u gradiću okrutno ubija životinje. Postoji li neka veza između tih zbivanja?U svakom slučaju radi se o psihopatu. No hoće li Kovacs uspjeti raspetljati slučaj?
"Slast života" Paulusa Hochgatterera upečatljiv je roman, čiji sažeti izraz lako postiže moćan umjetnički efekt. Točno određujući motive, suptilno preplićući i povezujući perspektive sedam likova, Hohgaterer oblikuje u velikom stilu čitav jedan zagonetan svijet koji se proteže od ručice, koja ne ispušta figurice iz igre „čovječe, ne ljuti se", do zvijezda koje detektiv promatra kroz teleskop.
Roman koji je ironično nazvan "Slast života", suptilno je i široko postavljen psihološki triler ispričan iz očišta nekoliko pripovjedača u prvom i trećem licu. Paulusu Hochgatterer je jedan prepoznatljiv književni žanr poslužio između ostalog da opiše privatni život psihijatra i precizno progovori o njegovim brojnim pacijentima i njihovim medicinskim dijagnozama. Komesar Kovacs i njegova razmišljanja samo su povodi za analizu mnogih zanimljivih slučajeva. Rijetko kada je žanrovska književnost otvorila toliko važnih pitanja kao što je slučaj s ovom romanom. Hochgatterer ne vidi zločin kao ekstremni pojedinačni čini, već nasilni akt u kojem sudjeluje svatko na svoj način, i u konačnici čitava ljudska zajednica. Slast života Paulusa Hochgatterera uistinu je vrstan triler, napisan sa svojstvenom oštrinom, humorom i muzikalnošću. Ispod kriminalističkog zapleta ovdje se ponovno radi o uznemirujućim egzistencijalnim pitanjima, i stvarnosti koju dijelimo i stvarnosti u kojoj i sami sudjelujemo.

It's Christmas in the Austrian town of Furth am See and psychiatrist Raffael Horn is over-run with patients. A young girl is brought to him as she refuses to speak. She has just seen the mutilated body of her grandfather, his head unrecognisable.
Don't let the title fool you, there is no sugar coating to The Sweetness of Life and its January publication date is probably wise even though it is set of the Christmas week. It's a bit of a depressing read, especially for this time of year. A large proportion of the book is given to descriptions of Horn's patients which makes you feel like the whole town is mentally ill.
The cover states that this is a Kovacs and Horn Investigation however Kovacs really doesn't get much page space and there's not a lot of investigation going on. It's more of a study of psychology than a traditional crime novel. In the world of Furth am See, psychopaths seem to get away with anything providing they have a doctor's note to say it wasn't their fault and animal cruelty is dismissed. It doesn't give you much faith in justice for the characters.
The prose switches from second person for Horn and Kovacs and to first person for the thoughts of a troubled boy, who we know about his family. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and many aren't relevant at all to the plot. I found myself not really understanding the ending. Sometimes it's great to have questions left unanswered but I was left feeling like I'd missed something.

Huhh, le vagyok taglózva! Meglepetéskönyv a javából, bár az értékelések alapján valami különlegesre számítottam, de arra nem, hogy ennyire a hatása alá kerülök. Hajlamos vagyok skandináv krimihez hasonlítani, nemcsak a hideg és a nagy hó miatt, hanem az egységnyi területen élő pszicho- és szociopaták száma és a pszichiáter szerző személye, a társadalmi problémák érintése miatt is (Karin Fossum művei állnak talán hozzá a legközelebb).
Amennyire hasonlít, annyira különbözik is: a nyomozás csak az egyik szál, nem Kovacs felügyelő és csapata áll a középpontban (bár sokrészes sorozatot is el tudnék képzelni velük), a pszichiáter Horn és osztálya legalább olyan fontos szereplő és helyszín. Sokaknak mászhatunk bele a fejébe, és ez az élmény nem kellemes, sőt, egyre nyomasztóbbá válik. Sokkal több, mint krimi vagy pszicho-thriller: irodalmi igényű regény, remek fordításban, elgondolkodtató társadalomrajzzal. Remélem, olvashatok még a szerzőtől.

It's nearly opaque in plot until the last pages. Well, it was for me. This book seemed more about a locale mood, context of causes unknown, and weird tension. Regardless, it was so confusing to read that I strained to get any enjoyment out of it.

"netter" krimi, muss aber zugeben, dass er mich teilweise nicht so mitgerissen hat, wie ich es mir erhofft hatte
August 16, 2016
Jedne zimske večeri, djevojčica s djedom igra 'Čovječe ne ljuti se', kada na vrata netko zakuca. Djed izlazi provjeriti tko je, i više se ne vraća. Djevojčica izađe za njim, i uskoro ga pronađe u hrpi snijega, smrskane lubanje.
Otkada je pronašla djedovo tijelo, mala Katharina prestala je govoriti, zbog čega odlazi na razgovore sa psihologom. Istodobno, alpsko selo u kojem živi postaje poprište zvjerskih zločina nad mačkama, psima, kunićima i drugim životinjama. Policija smatra da su ovi zločini možda povezani s ubojstvom Katharininog djeda, ali im ta poveznica izmiče. U selu u kojem žive i osuđeni kriminalci, i nasilnici, i tihi, mirni ljudi, za koje ne znaš što im se mota po mislima, bit će teško pronaći krivca, unatoč tome što kandidata za to ne nedostaje.
'Slast života' nije baš klasičan triler na kakve smo u zadnje vrijeme navikli. Ovdje nema onog klasičnog 'dogodio se zločin' i sad ga malo-pomalo istražujemo, ne bi li otkrili što se dogodilo. Autor se ovdje više koncentrira na jednostavno upoznavanje okoline u kojoj se zločin dogodio, upoznavanje mjesta radnje, njegovih stanovnika i okolnosti u kojima ti stanovnici žive, a time i, posljedično, uzroka i okolnosti koje su dovele do zločina opisanog na samom početku romana.
Način na koji je pisan također nije baš uobičajen. Ovdje nema nekog centralnog lika oko kojeg se odvija radnja, već se ona odvija u različitim fragmentima koje gledamo kroz različite likove, od kojih su svi manje ili više povezani sa ili žrtvom ili ubojicom (to nam se ima razotkriti tek na kraju). Tu je psihijatar koji liječi djevojčicu koja je pronašla djedovo tijelo, zatim policijski istražitelj koji (između ostalog) istražuje cijeli slučaj, kapelan koji vodi sahranu... Na početku je teško vidjeti poveznicu između svih ovih likova, ali, kako radnja dalje odmiče i kako ih sve sve više upoznajemo, ta poveznica (jakoooo) polako postaje sve vidljivijom.
Radnja ovog romana ne teče brzo, i on zahtijeva malo više (i malo dublje) pozornosti no što ste možda navikli davati prosječnom trileru tijekom čitanja. Sporost odvijanja radnje, kao i ponekad preobimne digresije o životu pojedinih likova glavna su mana ovog romana, ali su ujedno tu kako bismo što bolje razumjeli svakog lika, sve što ga pokreće i okolnosti u kojima živi i radi, od kojih neke možda imaju, a možda i nemaju utjecaja na razjašnjavanje početnog zločina.
Što se tiče tog razjašnjenja, za mene je kraj bio možda mrvicu nejasan, ne u smislu da se početni slučaj nije rasvijetlio, već više u smislu da je kraj ostao nekako otvoren, nezaključen (barem što se nekih likova tiče).
Ova knjiga traži od vas određenu strpljivost i koncentraciju. Ako niste posve koncentrirani na radnju, lako je odlutati mislima, nakon čega je potrebno opet neko vrijeme da natrag pohvatate sve konce koje ste izgubili. Budite strpljivi, i dajte vremena ovoj knjizi da vas zarobi.
Ocjena od 2* ne znači da je knjiga loša, već znači upravo to što 2* jesu: 'it was ok'. Ništa više, ništa manje.
Otkada je pronašla djedovo tijelo, mala Katharina prestala je govoriti, zbog čega odlazi na razgovore sa psihologom. Istodobno, alpsko selo u kojem živi postaje poprište zvjerskih zločina nad mačkama, psima, kunićima i drugim životinjama. Policija smatra da su ovi zločini možda povezani s ubojstvom Katharininog djeda, ali im ta poveznica izmiče. U selu u kojem žive i osuđeni kriminalci, i nasilnici, i tihi, mirni ljudi, za koje ne znaš što im se mota po mislima, bit će teško pronaći krivca, unatoč tome što kandidata za to ne nedostaje.

Ein alter Mann wurde getötet, offenbar fuhr jemand gezielt über seinen Kopf. Seine kleine Enkelin Katharina findet ihn und spricht seitdem kein Wort. Kinderpsychiater Horn versucht ihr zu helfen, während die Polizei auf der Suche nach dem Täter ist.
Was in dieser Kurzfassung klingt wie ein ziemlich gewöhnlicher Krimi, ist jedoch auch eine detaillierte Darstellung diverser psychisch kranker Menschen. Während jeweils ein Erzählstrang die Ermittlungen der Polizei unter Leitung des Kriminalkommissars Kovacs sowie die Arbeit des Kinderpsychiaters zum Thema hat, befassen sich zwei weitere mit Personen, die deutliche psychische Probleme haben. Der Autor, der selbst Psychologe ist, lässt diese so überzeugend zu Wort kommen, dass ich ihre Wahnvorstellungen ohne Schwierigkeiten nachvollziehen konnte. Auch die Entwicklung eines kleinen Jungen hin zum Erfüllungsgehilfen des Imperators (bekannt aus Star Wars ;-)) ist überzeugend beschrieben und ich fand mich immer wieder bei der Überlegung: 'Wievielen Menschen mag es wohl ähnlich gehen?' Ich fürchte, es sind nicht Wenige.
Was meine Freude an diesem Hörbuch jedoch etwas minderte, war der Vorleser. Norman Hacker, Schauspieler, liest das ganze Buch durchweg in stets ähnlich monoton klingender Weise. Die Personen sind stimmlich nicht zu unterscheiden und hätte ihnen der Autor nicht jeweils einen eigenen literarischen Stil gegeben, hätte ich beim Hören nicht sagen können, aus welcher Perspektive gerade erzählt wird. Schade, denn das Buch hat was: Es ist spannend mit interessanten Einblicken in eine ganz andere Welt. Ich kann daher nur raten, es lieber zu lesen statt zu hören.

I was about 3/4 of the wat through this book by the time I got around to entering it into Goodreads. Therefore I was completely shocked to see it didn't even get a combined 2.5 stars by reviewers. I was curious to finish the book and read the reviews to see what warranted this rating. Unfortunately, only three people chose to write reviews and I can somewhat agree with them. I did have difficulty rating this book because it made me uncomfortable. It was not a nice, neat, easily followed, nicely progressive storyline. It was messy, disjointed, and left many stories unresolved. Just like life. It certainly brought me out of my comfort zone in terms of my typical reading experience as I'm sure it did many readers which I think is what caused the low rating. i found myself eager to keep reading and learning more about the characters. The main story, the murder, is resolved in a way not entirely unexpected if you were paying close attention and noticed the foreshadowing. The seemingly disparate threads of the first several chapters also slowly come together to form the backdrop fabric of characters and relationships. But it's subtle and their stories and issues are never resolved. A book worth reading.

A very disturbing book that had much to recommend but not to like particularly.
An elderly man is murdered horrifically and the police try to find the person responsible. There are plenty of suspects not the least of which is an anti-social pyschopathic teenager who has been released from prison just prior to the murder.
He is an unpleasant character, as is his father. He has a younger brother over whom he has tremendous power.
There is also a psychiatrist, a police officer, a priest and all the other characters in the village where this crime has been committed. They all have their stories and their secrets that lay sufficient cobwebs of doubt to make the waters murky indeed. It is well written and keeps the reader wondering just who committed the atrocity.
The resolution is dark and there is no sense of relief when the murderer is finally revealed. One is just happy to get away from there with no desire to return. It is part of a series so I am not sure that is the outcome the author desired.

Highly unusual crime fiction - more of a meditation on the nature of evil, on mental illness and the sadness/darkness inherent in all of life. I did like both the policeman and the psychiatrist 'investigators' and the claustrophobic, rather depressed atmosphere of small-town Austria is beautifully rendered.

quite interesting. scattered. and unnerving look at middle life people who are slipping into talking to themselves and slow to react.

Sākot lasīt šo darbu, tas sākumā var šķist dīvains, bet tajā pašā laikā intriģējošs. Savdabīgās autora rakstīšanas manieres ievelk aizvien dziļākos un tumšākos atvaros, kurā katram no varoņiem ir savs stāsts.
Romāna nosaukums "Dzīves saldme" nav gluži tas, par ko to var iztēloties sākumā. Tas ir skarbs, psiholoģisks, es teiktu, arī filozofisks darbs, kurā tiek atainots dzīves raksturīgais neglītums cilvēku likteņos. Tas nav romāns tikai par līķi un nozieguma atklāšanu. Tas vairāk atgādina ironiju un pārmetumu dzīvei par tās šķietamo pašpietiekamību, kurā cilvēkam jācīnās par to, lai tajā paliktu morāli un fiziski neskarts:
"To, kas tevi biedē, tu vienmēr uzzini īstajā brīdī."
Psihiatrijas vizīšu pieņemšanas laikā, rodas priekšstats, ka psihiskas novirzes ir katram mazpilsētas iedzīvotājam, kas ir vidusmēra ceļš romāna gaitā, atspoguļojot tās tieši un bez liekuļošanas:
"Kad bēda ir pietiekami liela, cilvēki vienmēr domā, ka viņi tādi ir vienīgie."
Dažādi cilvēki un to likstas, līķis, kāda suicidālās domas un klusēšana - zelts. Psihiatrs Horns tiek pret savu gribu ierauts lietā, kas jāizmeklē. Reizumis rodas sajūta, ka šo lietu un galveno izmeklētaja lomu pilda pats Horns, nevis komisārs Kovičs, brutāli ielaužoties cilvēku prātos, atklājot biedējošākos noslēpumus:
"Tas ko tik plātīgi dēvē par identitāti, īstenībā ir grūti nosakāma būšana, kurai ir sakars ar visu, kas laika gaitā tevī sabāzts."
Galu galā - mēdz taču būt arī žēlīgāki likteņi, tomēr tam labpatīkas traucēt. Notikumi, ārējie un iekšējie faktori un norises izriet no pašu cilvēku nemākulības un apslēptas agresijas, kas mazina vēlmi dzīvot pilnvērtīgu dzīvi.

Op een koude winterdag wordt een oude man vermoord. Zijn kleindochter vindt hem en raakt daardoor dermate getraumatiseerd dat ze niets meer zegt. Haar ouders nemen haar mee naar de kinderpsycholoog Raffael Horn in de hoop dat hij haar weer aan het praten krijgt.
Behalve het meisje heeft Horn nog meer patiënten. Het hele alpendorp lijkt wel psychische problemen te hebben. Waarbij de een verdachter overkomt dan de ander.
De zoete waanzin is een niet zo heel erg dik boek, maar omdat het bijzonder moeilijk leest, lijkt het of er niet door te komen is. Er zijn hoofdstukken bij waar geen touw aan vast te knopen is, waardoor het dan wel heel erg moeilijk wordt om je aandacht te blijven vasthouden. Eindconclusie is dat het toch wel een erg vervelend boek is.

Eerlijk gezegd, niet echt bevredigend. Er zijn nogal wat "loose ends" in dit verhaal. Het plot en de ontwikkeling ervan is warrig en werkt verwarrend. De auteur wil de lezer op verschillende dode sporen leiden en dikwijls duikt de vraag op naar het hoe en waarom van bepaalde verwikkelingen en passages... en dat laatste blijft zelfs gelden voor de uiteindelijke ontknoping, het hoe en waarom.
Op zich is het boek wel goed geschreven en het leest vlot, maar al bij al laat het geen diepe indruk na.

Guter Psycho-Erzählung eines tullner Kinder- und Jugendpsychiaters, ein Kind sieht, wie der Opa umgebracht wird, es gibt einen Schizophrenen, ein-zwei gestörte, brutale Kinder und einen traumatisierten Opi mit Rachegelüsten - interessant geschrieben, da in jedem Kapitel die Sichtweise gewechselt wird

Very well written suspense novel with compelling characters. Provides insight into life in a small Austrian town. Yet, I found it an unsettling and ultimately strange book and had difficulty relating to any of the characters so well crafted in the book. Gave me chills but not necessary thrills.
