Baseado no roteiro original de SOREN SVEISTRUP para série de TV A somewhat unusual novel, in that it is based on a television series, rather than the other way round, however, that does not detract from David Hewson’s gripping crime novel that is set in Copenhagen and follows the tortuous investigation of the murder of a young woman, Nanna Birk Larsen. This is lead by Sarah Lund, who is gradually revealed as a detective fully focussed on solving the crime, but in many ways oblivious to the way this causes her to treat those around her; family, friends, colleagues and those under investigation. These interactions between the main characters give an extra layer of depth to the novel and in a fast-moving case, suspicion falls in turn on a number of people. The reaction of some of the politicians involved threatens to obstruct the enquiry and the tension weakens when it switches to the fallout surrounding Troels Hartmann, but it ramps up again, with an unforeseeable resolution to the murder. I don't watch much television but even I have heard of the Danish TV series "The Killing", and am yet to hear a bad word spoken about it. Consequently hen i saw this book at my local Oxfam shop i thought it might be worth reading . They certainly sold me the dummy there! I did try to read this. Honestly! Somehow I just couldn't find the strength of soul to carry on. Three hundred pages in and I still hadn't found even one character for whom I felt any empathy. Apparently it was originally written in English though that was far from evident from the prose style. It seemed to me more like something that had been written in German and then translated by someone who didn't have German-English dictionary but was, instead using a German-French one and then a French-Russian one before finally finding a Russian-English lexicon to finish it off. The feeling of liberation after I deliberately left this book on the bus was enlivening. Now I can look for a proper book. Het boek van de veelbekroonde hitserie The Killing Wie heeft Nanna Birk Larsen vermoord? Deze vraag hield miljoenen tv-kijkers over de hele wereld in de ban. Alles begint wanneer inspecteur Sarah Lund zich meldt voor haar laatste werkdag in Kopenhagen en de negentienjarige Nanna als vermist wordt opgegeven. Dezelfde dag nog wordt het lijk van de jonge vrouw teruggevonden. Sarah besluit haar geplande verhuizing naar Zweden uit te stellen en samen met haar beoogde vervanger het moordonderzoek te leiden. Terwijl Nanna's ouders worstelen met hun verdriet en de woede over het verlies van hun dochter, is politicus Troels Hartmann verwikkeld in de strijd om het burgemeesterschap van Kopenhagen. Wanneer er een verband blijkt te bestaan tussen het stadhuis en de moord op Nanna, krijgt de zaak een heel nieuwe wending. Verschillende verdachten passeren de revue, en de jacht op de moordenaar van Nanna raakt steeds meer overschaduwd door geweld en politieke intriges.

"Sarah Lund is looking forward to her last day as a detective with the Copenhagen police department before moving to Sweden. But everything changes when nineteen-year-old student, Nanna Birk Larsen, is found raped and brutally murdered in the woods outside the city. Lund's plans to relocate are put on hold as she leads the investigation along with fellow detective Jan Meyer. While Nanna's family struggles to cope with their loss, local politician, Troels Hartmann, is in the middle of an election campaign to become the new mayor of Copenhagen. When links between City Hall and the murder suddenly come to light , the case takes an entirely different turn. Over the course of twenty days, suspect upon suspect emerges as violence and political intrigue cast their shadows over the hunt for the killer" -- from publisher's web site.
