Hurtigt / Quickly

Takket være ferien og fordi det er en virkelig god bog, fik jeg læst denne her virkelig hurtigt. Føles det som. 

Den er jo 10 år gammel, men det gør ikke noget. Thomas Lynley er bare så god med sine overklassemanerer, ulastelige udseende og skarpe hjerne. Barbara Havers er lige så håbløs som altid i forhold til sit udseende og respekt for sine overordnede, men jo ellers superskarp. 

Plottet var totalt umuligt at gennemskue, selvfølgelig, og det var først på de sidste 150 sider (af 950) at man fik at vide hvad det handlede om. Lige denne her bog trak tråde tilbage til et bestialsk mord mange år tidligere, hvor en lille dreng blev myrdet af nogle drenge, hvilket i starten var ret forvirrende, men efterhånden sad man jo og begyndte at prøve at gætte hvem der var hvem. 

Jeg glæder mig allerede til den næste!

Thanks to the vacation and because it's a really great book, I read this really fast. Feels fast, at least. 

It's actually 10 years old, but who cares. Thomas Lynley is just amazing with his upper-class manners, perfect looks and really sharp mind. Barbara Havers is as hopeless as ever considering her looks and the respect she ought to show her bosses, but otherwise a wonderful detective. 

The plot was totally impossible to guess, of course, and not until the last 150 pages (of 950) did you get to know what it was about. This book furthermore had connections to a horrible murder many years earlier, when a little boy was murdered by some not too old boys. In the beginning, it was rather confusing, but then you started guessing who it could be. 

I'm looking forward to the next book already!
