I have complicated feelings about this.. about almost every character and interaction. ( ) Trotz einiger Längen ist das hier unterm Strich vermutlich das beste Buch aus der Serie. Das liegt am Gegenstand, dem Verschwinden muslimischer Mädchen und dem „Begleitthema“ Afghanistan. Zehn Jahre nach Erscheinen des Buches ist das Thema „Afghanistan“ immer noch aktuell, wenn auch wieder auf andere Weise. Ich rechne es der Autorin hoch an, dass sie mit Hoffnung und Liebe endet und die ganzen unseligen Debatten, die das Buch aufmacht, unter anderem um Frauenrechte und Rassismus, mit Freundlichkeit beantwortet. Es ist immer ein schwieriges Unterfangen Migranten in Krimis darzustellen, denn Themen wie Ehrenmorde, sexualisierte Gewalt usw. wecken schnell alle möglichen rassistischen Klischees. Der Autorin gelingt es aber vor allem durch die überraschenden Wendungen am Ende das Ganze mehrfach zu drehen und schließlich bliebt man mit der Botschaft zurück, dass man sich zwischen Liebe und Hass immer für die Liebe entscheiden sollte. Dass Maria Kallio und ihre Familie wie immer schön zu begleiten sind, versteht sich als langjährige Leserin der Serie von selbst, aber der Vollständigkeit halber sei es erwähnt. This manages to be a compelling read despite rather than because of the plot. The plot looks straightforward: Maria has to investigate the disappearance of three Islamic immigrant girls, and then the murder of a fourth. Unfortunately, it wanders all over the place. Usually, this would make me stop reading, but in this instance the characters and the problems they face were so interesting that I stayed involved. Hate crimes and cultural differences Complex story involving Detective Maria Kallio fresh from Afghanistan where she's been helping with the training of Afghani police women. An exercise that ended in tragedy and unbeknownst to her will hold overtones for her forthcoming role as head of a new special crimes unit. Three immigrant Muslim girls are missing and converging thought has their fate hovering between the possibility of them being runaways, of honor killings, possible actions by white nationalists, the involvement of Afghani drug lords, or that their families have sent them away. The truth is layered somewhere between cultural differences and people's attitudes. Kallio gives an outstanding performance as an investigator with a conscience looking into sensitive issues. Although this is the 11th in the Kallio series it reads well as a stand alone. Having visited some of the places in Finland mentioned, the reading brought to mind some treasured moments. Lehtolainen continues to be a strong voice in the Nordic Noir trope. An AmazonCrossing ARC via NetGalley aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A group of hate crimes, a conspiracy, or a coincidence? Investigator Maria Kallio searches for answers close to home in award-winning author Leena Lehtolainen's riveting thriller. After completing a dangerous mission training police officers in war-torn Afghanistan, Detective Maria Kallio returns to Finland as the head of a new special crimes unit. But what awaits her in her home country is her most challenging and unsettling case yet. Three immigrant Muslim girls, all members of the same social club, have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. When the body of a fourth girl is found in the snow, strangled with her own headscarf, the investigation takes on a grim new urgency. Is there a xenophobic serial killer on the loose? A random white nationalist? Or does something more insidious bind the girls? In a Finnish city struggling to assimilate a new population of Muslim immigrants, the answers are hard to come by... One thing is certain: it will take a detective familiar with the darkest depths of humanity to sift through the wreckage of clashing cultures in search of the truth. That detective is Maria Kallio.
