Blind Goddess: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel Audiobook

" Perhaps a broader editorial brush would have made this a more engaging read. Perhaps stronger character development and more exciting plot would have helped as well. Because of her reputation as a writer, I looked forward to reading Anne Holt's work from the beginning. After this mediocre experience, not sure that I want to read any others. "

" Not bad, but the description of Anne Hold as "the queen of Norwegian crime fiction" may have caused me to expect a little more from this novel than I got from it. The novel is gritty all right, but Ian Rankin novels are a good deal grittier, and Steig Larsson's Millennium trilogy may have ruined crime fiction for me, as I now want deeply complex characters that take more than one book to unravel. In comparison to someone like Lisbeth Salander, Hanne Wilhelmsen falls flat. "

" Solid crime fiction. Will be getting the next in the series. "

" kind of like a Norwegian Mo Hayder. not great, but you keep reading compulsively for some reason. the next (translated, not chronological, dammit) "follow up" looks like a more interesting premise to me; we'll see. "

" Good mystery by a Norwegian author. I will read more of the series. "

" Excellent, I hope the other novels in the series are in translation. "

" I was a little disappointed since I loved 1222. The book is well written and well plotted. Well translated. As a police procedural it was a little slow at times but the action picks up near the end. I will read more of Anne Holt. "

" I liked it. Holt does not write like a Norwegian but more like an American author. Good characters and possible future love story. "

" The characters were not well developed so difficult to distinguish from one another. Storyline tricky to follow. "

" Might read more from this Scandanavian mystery writer....this was her first book. Interesting plot and witty writing but very very wordy. "

" Enjoyed this a lto -- very different from other Scandinavian lit in that it's not so dark. It lacks the angst and the psychosis but makes up for it with strong characters and an intricate plot. An author I will read again. "

" I nice summer read- not overly thrilling, but basically a Swedish version of Law and Order. "

" Hmm. Not as good as 1222, but will certainly read more of her works "
