The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver



Watch an interview with author Jeffery Deaver about how he goes about when writing a book. Quite interesting! The Broken Window is actually the latest in a series of novels about the quadriplegic homicide detective Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs. Maybe someone has watched the film with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie that was made out of the first one, The Bone Collector. Unfortunately we don't have any of the earlier Lincoln Rhyme novels in the library, but this book works quite well for itself.

I tried to embed this video, but for some reason it didn't work. You'll have to click on the link!

The Beast by Roslund-Hellstrom

Available in the library?

The Redeemer by Jo Nesbo

A Harry Hole mystery.
If you like mystery novels, I recommend Jo Nesbo's books about Harry Hole. They are very intriguing.
Check which one's are available here.

The Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray

Gemma Doyle lives in India but when a tragedy happens to her family she is sent of to a boarding school in England to learn how to behave like a favorable young lady, to be suitable for marriage. She is troubled by visions of the Realms, and is followed by a strange young man. She becomes friends with three other girls at the school, who all have more or less tragic lifes. The girls finds a way to enter Realms with tragic consequenses. The only one who can set out to bring the Realms back in control of an order, is Gemma.

I read the first novel in the series, A great and terrible beauty, but I didn't feel the urge to continue with the other two. Probably these books will do better or a somewhat younger audience. But the covers are beautiful!

Read more about the trilogy and the author Libba Bray.
