About this listen

David Hewson's The Killing 3 is the novelization of the third series of the hit Danish crime drama, The Killing.

Detective Inspector for homicide, Sarah Lund, is contacted by old flame Mathias Borch from National Intelligence. Borch fears that what first appeared to be a random killing at the docks is the beginning of an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Troels Hartmann. The murder draws attention towards the shipping and oil giant, Zeeland, run by billionaire Robert Zeuthen.

When Zeuthen's 9-year-old daughter, Emilie, is kidnapped the investigation takes on a different dimension as it soon becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to the murder of a young girl in Jutland some years earlier.

Hartmann is in the middle of an election campaign, made all the more turbulent because of the mounting financial crisis. He needs Zeeland's backing.

Lund needs to make sense of the clues left by Emilie's perpetrator before it's too late.

And can she finally face the demons that have long haunted her?

This book had an excellent story and characters and did not disappoint. The killing II had me gripped, but this one has a good plot and stayed with me even when I was not listening and the end although not the ending I wanted, was unexpected and good. Recommended, the narration by Christian Rodska was superb.

Eagerly awaited

Having listened to the two previous Killing books and thoroughly enjoyed them I eagerly devoured this one. A great listen and so well read by Christian Rodska. Will there be a fourth ? I do hope so!

A great listen.

Love the Sara Lund character, but fast becoming tired of the politic context. Sure it sets a background scene, but placing murders around the time of an election again is surely as far as you can take it. Lund deserves stories separate from Copenhagen political dimensions. Move on and develop Lund in a different direction! I wouldn't consider reading 'The Killing IV' should that be on the same lines!

Enjoyable listen, but now bored of the politics

This book was a perfect end to the series. Lots of twists as ever. Well read/ acted.

Excellent

What can I say except that I have sore ears from my ear buds as I could not put the story down. Wonderfully read as always be Christian Rodska, albeit with some odd character accents on occasion.

Ripping good story
