Kom hjem, Amadou

Eddie Feber #5

by Karin Fossum

I femte bok om overbetjent Eddie Feber lar Karin Fossum fortiden slå tilbake

På Store Gaupen gård brytes sensommerstillheten av et voldsomt brøl fra himmelen. For gårdeier Nancy Nesbit er lyden et illevarslende ekko av noe langt mer truende, nemlig en hendelse hun opplevde som tiåring, da en hvit varebil stanset ved veikanten og endret alt.

Når hun leser i Magasinet om den uoppklarte forsvinningen av åtte år gamle Sonia Sanningen i 1987, kommer minnene tilbake med full kraft. Opplysningene hun sitter på, kan være det som endelig løser saken, eller som river opp alt hun har forsøkt å begrave.

Eddie Feber må grave i et 36 år gammelt mysterium, der fortrengte minner, gamle spor og nye trusler veves sammen. Kom hjem, Amadou er en intens kriminalroman om skyld, taushet og om hvordan én observasjon kan endre alt.

Reviews

[Jenny Wüsthoff · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Hardcover]

This is the 5th book in the Feber-series, and they are a very reliable series to follow. I've not been let down by any of them.

I love the tone and the atmosphere, and I LOVE how we always follow other characters rather than the police and Eddie himself. With Fossum, she seems to love and develop her secondary characters a lot more and they are also a lot more interesting than the cops.

My only bother with this one book was that I had to read the last 10 pages twice and I am still not sure I know the motive of the culprit...

I love how I can pick up one of these books and KNOW that I will devour it in a couple of days and not be dissappointed!

Rolig krim, velskrevet med god nerve og spenning fra begynnelse til slutt
