About the author

Jesper grew up in a family of filmmakers, and his desire to write stories naturally drew him to screenwriting. Two of his screenplays made it into Hollywood movies starring, among others, Rob Lowe and James Belushi.

Always wanting to write novels and craving the autonomy that would give, he embarked on the long and lonely road of writing his first novel Out Came the Wolves, which was followed by Shadow of the Dead and Dance With the Devil.

In 2016 Jesper started writing audiobooks for Storytel, a new way of telling stories that suited him perfectly. With his brother Joakim, he wrote Black Star, a sci-fi trilogy, followed by the time travel thriller 1986 and the adventure of Sky&Fall, also trilogies.

His most recent book is Elddopet, in collaboration with his brother Patrik Ersgård.

Jesper lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his wife and two children.

(Heard on Storytel) it’s a little confusing therefore not quite predictable. Well, it’s like watching a long road with a small house getting bigger while nearing it.

Veel gevloek in het boek, dat begint een beetje tegen te staan.

[Teolinda Stark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ett misstag gör så att Elias Werner hamnar i år 1628 och i en minst sagt osympatisk gammal mans kropp. Polisen Maja hamnar istället i 1963 men har ingen aning om vad hon gör där.
Säsong 2 är lika spännande som ettan även om den känns lite krångligare. Vi kommer några steg närmre för att få veta vilka "de fem" och " de vitögda" är och varför de är ute efter just Elias.
Denna serien får mig verkligen att tänka till lite extra. Och det bästa är att det kommer mera.

En la misma línea que el anterior, con el inconveniente de que, a mi modesto parecer, se sale de la trama principal para hacer paradas en las que se dedica a otras mini tramas que tampoco es que aporten mucho. Es decir, se alarga innecesariamente. Evidentemente se van revelando aspectos nuevos en esta segunda parte, pero ya al principio se va dilucidando claramente qué „misterio“ le aguarda al protagonista, y eso sin tener doctorado ni nada, vamos, que parece que el asunto se va deshinchando inexorablemente.
Hay una tercera parte (suele ocurrir en las trilogías…ehem…), que no sé si algún día leeré. No porque sospeche que no me vaya a gustar, sino porque me parece algo previsible por qué derroteros va a ir y eso me quita bastante las ganas. Ya veremos.

+ the timetravelling worked really well in this story
+ I liked the twist
+ more character depth
- It seems a lot of to and fro travelling without cutting to the chase
- third season is not translated yet (GRRR)
- no dragons

En original og utrolig spennende tidsreise-thriller som kombinerer krim, mystikk og humor på en helt genial måte. Historien hopper mellom 1986 og 2017 uten å miste tråden. En skikkelig "bare etckapittel til"-opplevelse. Elsket den

I am enjoying the series and the story line is fast paced and keeping my interest. Book 3 was the hardest one in the series to get through but I still enjoyed the stories a great deal. Looking into reading his other series.

Minder dan seizoen 1, toch benieuwd hoe het verder gaat

[Tupu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Paikoin pitkäveteinen, mutta loppu sai odottamaan jatkoa.

Luin/kuuntelin suomeksi

[Karina M · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nästan ännu bättre än första boken. Men egentligen är ju böckerna som förlängning av varandra

[Bjarne Siewertsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spændende historie med fine elementer fra andre tidsrejsendehistorier

[Katrin Rigglöv · Rating 5 out of 5]

Riktigt spännande! Fortsätter med tredje på en gång :-)
