Summary

The first intercrim thriller to be broadcast on BBC Four, Spring 2013.

Sweden's elite are under attack.Two rich and powerful men have been murdered, and in the face of mounting panic - and media hysteria - a task force has been created to catch the killer.To his surprise, Detective Paul Hjelm, currently under investigation for misconduct after shooting a man who took the staff of an immigration office hostage, is summoned to join the new team.

But the killer has left no clues, even removing the bullets from the crime scenes, and Hjelm and his new teammates face a daunting challenge if they are to uncover the connection between the victims and catch the murderer before he kills again.

Published in the USA as Misterioso.

Fantastic

Brilliant story with plenty of plot twists and turns. The TV series from the books are excellent also and compare favourably to the books

A slow burner

A tale that unravels slowly but is worth sticking with. The narration will not be to everyone's taste, quite monotonous but again you forget about it once you get wrapped up in the story. A decent audiobook but not a patch on Jussi Adler Olsen's Department Q books.

Err SAME BOOK AS MISTERIOSO ???

What would have made The Blinded Man better?

If it hadn't been identical to Misteriosos!

Has The Blinded Man put you off other books in this genre?

No especially as it is remarkably similar to Misterioso!

What didn’t you like about John Lee’s performance?

It was identical word for word with his same narration of the Misterioso.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes it had. It was identical to the Misterioso

Any additional comments?

Anyway take it from me, If you enjoyed Misterioso you'll enjoy this !

Why are audible selling the same book twice under two titles, read by same narrator.

Is it just me but sometimes I just try a new author and then buy more if I like them. I don't often explore the literary history or background of the author. I'm really interested in the story I suppose not the author.

Anyway having listened to Misterioso, being book one of this Arne Darl series which I liked, I thought I'd try The Blinded Man.

Umm two identical recordings, different images different name, even different blurb. Have I missed something? Is it actually possible to tell from the website that these are the same?
