Anna está furiosa: con su madre, con su vida, con su tesina y, sobre todo, con el profesor que se la dirige, que lleva un año intratable. Cuando aparece asesinado, todo apunta a una venganza. ¿Es Anna la culpable? Søren, el policía que investiga el crimen, le concede el beneficio de la duda a cambio de que la joven le ayude a desentrañar las macabras circunstancias del caso y a desembrollar las intrigas de los círculos científicos, un mundo en el que todos están dispuestos a todo a cambio de prestigio y poder. De pronto, Anna se encuentra inmersa en una enmarañada pesadilla. Son muchos los hilos que conducen hacia su estudio sobre la historia de los dinosaurios, pero más los que enredan su propia vida... y la de Søren.

This was a very solid Scandinavian thriller, always entertaining and at times absolutely riveting. There was a couple of excellent "A-ha!" moments en route to a satisfying conclusion. Would definitely recommend to connoisseurs of dark Nordic mysteries. (

A very enjoyable read for character but not a great mystery. In fact, I had a problem with part of the mystery solution but this isn't an Agatha Christie novel and the whodunit is not the most important part. (

I’m really disappointed with this book. Maybe I wouldn’t be if it weren’t for all the raving reviews, such as it being the Danish crime novel of the decade. Having finished the book (out of a sheer persistence and hopefulness that it would eventually live up to its reviews), I am perplexed by why people enjoyed this. This book is trashed with unnecessary drama and detailed histories into the past lives of the characters. Supposedly, such was meant to give deeper context to the characters and the outcome, but unfortunately it only diminished whatever potentially interesting science and mystery of the story down to a null. The author wasted much time bringing many characters into this book and explaining their extensive boring histories, all of which had nothing to do with the evolution of the story. This is much less of a crime novel than a drama, some thing I did not sign up for. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, it is a complete waste of time. (

Brilliant debut. It's a slow paced novel but Sissel-Jo needs that time to develop her characters. Looking forward to number 2 (

This debut novel makes disputes within science understandable to the non scientific mind, delving as it does into Darwinian research and natural selection. It provides a backcloth to the heated verbal battles that occur so frequently within the academic community and prompts memory of a phrase from Henry Kissinger that disputes within universities are so vicious because they are about so little. Not like the disputes that have raged around Kissinger’s career of mass murder.

Fiction. Mystery. HTML:Selected by NPR's Maureen Corrigan and The Wall Street Journal's Tom Nolan as one of the best mysteries of the year, Gazan's The Dinosaur Feather�??which the Financial Times called "outrageously entertaining"�??is a classic of modern Scandinavian noir.

With keenly observed and deeply flawed characters, this scintillating thriller revolves around the controversial and fascinating connections between dinosaur and avian evolution. Biology postgraduate, PhD hopeful, and single mom Anna Bella Nor is just two weeks away from defending her thesis on the saurian origin of birds when her academic supervisor, the highly respected yet widely despised Dr. Lars Helland, is found dead in his office chair at the University of Copenhagen. The police discover a copy of Anna's thesis in the dead man's bloody lap.

When the autopsy suggests that Helland was murdered in a fiendishly ingenious way, brilliant but tormented young Police Superintendent Soren Marhauge is called to investigate. As he begins the daunting task of unraveling the knotted skeins of interpersonal and intellectual intrigue among the scientists at the university, his own troubled past begins to complicate the case.

Everyone involved with the investigation�??from Anna Bella Nor to Helland's numerous academic rivals to Marhauge's own ex-wife, who is pregnant with her current husband's child�??has something to hide, muddying the investigation and presenting the detective with the greatest professional and personal challenge of his life.
