Summary

Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, an exhilarating new thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider's Web--a murder investigation in which two unlikely allies race to uncover a shadowy international conspiracy。

Professor Hans Rekke is a world authority on interrogation techniques, capable of dizzying feats of logic and observation。 He was born into wealth and power and has a picture-perfect wife and daughter。 But he also has a fragile psyche that falls apart under pressure。

Micaela Vargas is a street-smart police officer, daughter of Chilean political refugees, who grew up in the projects on the outskirts of Stockholm and has two brothers on the wrong side of the law。 She is tenacious and uncompromising, and desperate to prove herself to her fellow cops。

Micaela needs Hans's unique mind to help her solve the case of a murdered asylum-seeker from Afghanistan。 Hans needs Micaela to save him from himself。 Together, they need to find the killer before they're both silenced for good。

A good series starter。 We are introduced to the main characters and given enough information to keep us interested and wanting to know more。 Very Sherlock and Watson but well done with interesting twists。

Julie Friar

Professor Hans Rekke may have insight into people but right now he needs help to function and come back from despair。 Micaela Vargas is just what he needs but she also needs him to help solve a murder when external powers do not want her to succeed。 Loved this thrilling book with great characters and good pace。 Enjoy finding out the truth。

I would like to thank Netgalley and Quercus Books for an advance copy of Dark Music, a thriller set in Stockholm in 2003 that features police officer Micaela Vargas and psychologist Hans Rekke。An Afghan immigrant is murdered in Stockholm and the police are quick to identify a suspect, but with no direct proof they need a confession and think that Professor Rekke, an expert in interrogation techniques, is the man to help them get it。 He doesn’t believe they have the right man, nor does Micaela Va I would like to thank Netgalley and Quercus Books for an advance copy of Dark Music, a thriller set in Stockholm in 2003 that features police officer Micaela Vargas and psychologist Hans Rekke。An Afghan immigrant is murdered in Stockholm and the police are quick to identify a suspect, but with no direct proof they need a confession and think that Professor Rekke, an expert in interrogation techniques, is the man to help them get it。 He doesn’t believe they have the right man, nor does Micaela Vargas who has been seconded to the investigation。 Rekke and Vargas team up to uncover something more sinister than a simple murder。I enjoyed Dark Murder, which has an interesting tale to tell and some unusual protagonists。 Having read it I would definitely like to read more about Rekke and Vargas and am glad to have got in at the start of a new series。The novel is told from various points of view on the investigative side and later on, when more information is available there are flashbacks to events a few years earlier。 It sort of turns the standard in the genre upside down and asks the question of when is a victim not a victim。 I know that this is vague, but I would suggest reading the novel to find out why, because it’s well done。 It is also a slow burner with much of the novel concerned with introducing the characters and their various tics and foibles。 I think it’s overdone with Rekke a total mess of bi-polar and drug addiction, while Vargas is the “goody two shoes” in an extremely shady immigrant family。 It distracts from the main event and is low on the credibility meter。 I understand that the inspiration for their characters is Holmes and Watson, but I don’t really see it as Vargas has much to contribute, unlike Watson, Rekke maybe as Holmes。The novel is firmly set in its turn of the century setting, where what they uncover is shocking, but no so much now when we have 20 years of knowledge and disgust。 Still, it packs a punch in what it has to say, how it says it and the abject cynicism of the politicians (nothing ever changes) in lying to cover up their misdeeds。I don’t know how to describe Dark Music, perhaps as a meaty, strangely compulsive read with a difficult subject matter。 However I describe it I have no hesitation in recommending it as a good read。 。。。more

Pile By the Bed

Swedish author David Lagercrantz is probably best known for taking the mantel of Stieg Larsson to follow up the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Books to deliver a follow up trilogy (The Girl in the Spiders Web, The Girl Who Takes and Eye for an Eye and The Girl Who Lived Twice)。 So perhaps it is no surprise that his next series (because the ending leaves readers in no doubt that a series is intended) is not entirely original but rather a riff on Sherlock Holmes。 Dark Music sees an eccentric, trouble Swedish author David Lagercrantz is probably best known for taking the mantel of Stieg Larsson to follow up the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Books to deliver a follow up trilogy (The Girl in the Spiders Web, The Girl Who Takes and Eye for an Eye and The Girl Who Lived Twice)。 So perhaps it is no surprise that his next series (because the ending leaves readers in no doubt that a series is intended) is not entirely original but rather a riff on Sherlock Holmes。 Dark Music sees an eccentric, troubled but gifted hyper-observational professor and a young policewoman joining forces to solve a puzzling crime。 Dark Music opens in media res for reasons that are unclear。 It is 2003, and the Swedish police have been directed to seek out a professor Hans Rekke to help them。 The narrative then drops back a few days and finds young detective Micaela Vargas as part of a team investigating the murder of a soccer referee。 The man was an Afghani reportedly tortured by the Taliban and the prime suspect is a passionate local who was seen drunkenly threatening the victim during the game。 Suffice to say that there is much more to the story, but in getting there Micaela is dropped from the case and only manages to get back on it when she reconnects with Rekke and the two start making some startling discoveries about the victim and his past in Afghanistan。Crime fiction is a careful balance between character, plot and narrative and in Dark Music Lagercrantz has got this balance all wrong。 He spends almost half of the novel introducing Vargas and Rekke, giving little reason for the reader to care about the victim and the crime itself。 As the mystery unfolds it does so in a static way with Vargas and Rekke sitting in an apartment surfing the internet, making phonecalls and drawing deductions。 There is little tension and less drive。 The only thing that keeps the enterprise afloat at all is the central conceit of the plot which is connected to the actions of the Taliban and the American response to 9/11。Hans Rekke is a wealthy, super intelligent dilettante who is addicted to drugs and plays a musical instrument (the piano), he cannot help making detailed and surprisingly correct observations about people he meets based on the slimmest of evidence and he has a brother who is just as frighteningly competent who is high up in the government。 He is so much a Sherlock Holmes clone that one of the characters actually calls him out on it at one point。 In the way of modern Holmesian pastcihes his offsider Vargas has a little more agency than a traditional Doctor Watson。 She is a dogged investigator in her own right, unappreciated in the police force as she is young and a woman but also has a troubled past and potentially criminal family。The background of religious extremism, American terrorist response and the role of presumably neutral countries, a couple of interesting characters and a murder investigation sound like an interesting set up for a crime book。 But not this one。 Dark Music is for the most part a slog, with most of the mystery solved by flashbacks and exposition that ends with a whimper rather than bang。 The last few pages set up future cases for Rekke and Vargas but there is little here to invite readers to return。 。。。more

Storytel。 Välskriven men inte särskilt engagerande。 Som början på sen serie lockar den en del。 Som enskild bok inte särskilt mycket。

Víctor Grande

Lo “leí” en audiolibro。 Uno de los protagonistas tiene mucho potencial, aunque no deja de ser una revisión de Sherlock Holmes y este primer caso se me hizo un pelín aburrido, la verdad。 Aunque tiene momentos interesantes, sobre todo la presentación de la pareja protagonista y el comienzo de su relación profesional。 Es más interesante eso que “el caso”。
