About this listen

From the million-copy Scandinavian best seller comes the sensational audio debut thriller from the new star in Nordic crime fiction.

A killer with a message.

Two men have been murdered. Both of them were school bullies when they were younger. Plenty of people would have wanted them dead. A single clue has been found at the scene: a class photo from 1982, with two faces neatly crossed out.

A detective who can't let go.

Fabian Risk is the lead detective on the case. He's also one of the children in the photograph. As more people die and more faces are crossed out, it becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting old classmates one by one. Fabian Risk thought he'd left his school days behind.... Now he must confront his past if he is to find the killer before its too late.

Can you ever hide from your fate?

Victim Without a Face is the sensational debut that took the world by storm...now available as an audiobook.

Critic reviews

"More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson." (Tony Parsons)

"Atmospheric and complicated...with great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps." (Sunday Times Star Pick)

"Swedish crime writer of the year." (Books to Look for in 2017, Irish Times)

One of the few books I found hard to stop listening to. Narrator was also good but why did the Danish accents sound Irish??? That was the only thing wrong really. Gripping. Totally recommended.

This is an exciting read from start to finish.

Excellent!

Struggled to stay interested however pushed through to the end with the hope of an exciting finale which never came.

Weak plot.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It started out as a promising new Scandi-noir police procedural and quickly decended into a far-fetched, thinly construed semi-horror, with repetitive long winded sections where nothing much happens, but for some unnecessary cruelty, perhaps for trying to achieve some sensationalist squirm. I committed to finishing it, as I hoped some or other clever plot twist would rescue the plot, but sadly this has been a wasted credit.

I agree with the review of 'A Missed Opportunity'.
