About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Following weeks of heavy rain, the earth comes crumbling down on one of Larvik’s residential areas, burying a handful of houses.

Detective William Wisting is quick to join the rescue operation. Luckily, by sunrise the next day, it becomes clear that the landslide has claimed no victims.

And yet, just twenty-four hours later, a body is found – and the victim was killed before the landslide.

As Wisting opens an investigation into the mysterious murder, he soon discovers this death might have dangerous ties to a series of ongoing cases.

And the clues start leading Wisting not towards an enemy on the outside – but to a traitor in his own unit…

Characterisation as usual was perfect, gripping story that kept me on the edge of my seat! Can’t wait for the next one!

Great story, well told

What an imagination Horst has, to take the listener through one twist after another with vivid descriptions as Wisting solves every challenge that comes his way with his usual intelligence. Some suspension of disbelief is required from time to time but all is forgiven in this compelling audiobook.

Not bad, but somewhat disappointing, more action and less story I guess. And a Wisting that doesn't feel like him.

Ok, but not the usual Wisting
