Three Seconds Audiobook

" The subject matter is highly interesting, captivating read in the style of short, get to the point plots of much modern crime writing. Vey violent hostage situations at times. Makes me wonder how the "system" actually works and how the real-life decision making process in fact takes place, and what is in it for these people, anew. "

" Powerful!! Gritty and at times dark, this was a page turner I couldn't put down no matter how sleepy I was. So many twists and turns. Just when you thought you knew what was going to happen, the story takes a sudden turn you never saw coming. Lot of depth to this book! "

" Outstanding Swedish crime novel, fans of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" series should particularly enjoy it. Engrossing look at the interwoven worlds of crime, law enforcement, and government bureaucracy. Well-developed characters that are believable and interesting, and the plot becomes increasingly gripping. Highly recommended. Another bargain from the shelves at Dollar Tree! "

" Well written action packed suspense. I couldn't put it down "

" Great suspense from a Swedish writing duo. I wish more of their titles were translated into English. This would make a fine movie. "

" Maybe something gets lost in the translation, but these Swedish mysteries seem dragged out. "

" So good. I couldn't put it down! I can't wait to read more by them. "

" A Swedish crime thriller, it was good, but I didn't find it the best thriller I've ever read. I still prefer Steig's Millennium Trilogy. "

" Dark, complex murder mystery that features the archetypal fictional Scandanavian detective - even more curmudgeonly and miserable than fictional English (or Scottish) ones = and that's why I like it. "

" The double-crosses in the first 50 pages are enough to make me wonder how all this can be resolved! The blood and guts has already started and seems inevitable to be more! Arrgghhh! "

" Read this 'by coincidence' while I was on holidays and I was out of books to read. Found it on a shelf in the cottage we were staying in. What a ride! I couldn't put it down and read it in less than 24 hours. I'll definitely be looking for more... "

" I won this book from First Reads. I really enjoyed this book. Thanks. "

" Hated it. Too many different characters introduced that you get lost. All are important, which just adds to the difficulty. Not better than Herr Larsson. "

" Really enjoyed this Swedish police procedural. Like Stieg Larsson it takes on government corruption with a fascinating look at the use of criminal infiltrators. I have never read these authors before - one is a journalist and the other a criminal. "

" This crime novel got better as it went along. Chief Superintendent Grens is a bulldog of a detective who digs out the truth and doesn't care who he brings down in the process. Nice twist ending. Very satisfying. "

" If you like the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, this book is for you! "

" I couldn't get into this book. In this case I didn't care about the informer or the cop. Next... "

" This wasn't a bad book, but it took forever to read, took me over two weeks, it was very detailed, and not a page turner, helped me fall asleep quickly. "

" This book was AMAZING. I found the characters engaging, the story interesting, and just couldn't put the book down. The beginning was a little graphic to be reading while attempting to overcome a stomach bug, though! "

" Equal parts glacial and gripping, this read like the Swedish love child of Burn Notice and Prison Break. Parts of it dragged, and the dialogue seemed a little "off" at times, but overall it was a terrific read. I'm definitely not sorry I took a chance on this one. "

" While reading it I found it repetitive in places and felt it could have benefit from better editing. Could not put it down though! "

" one of the most exciting books.. can't wait till they make a movie of it..I didn't know the authors had written more. will have to seek them out. "

" Continuing my search for beyond Larsson! Fascinating plot and details about crime. The whole perspective on what it's like to be an infiltrator working for the police makes one think twice about taking on that job! "

" A gritty but fascinating story about betrayal in high places and the consequences trickling down on subordinates. Interesting characters. Absorbing plot. Surprise ending. "

" This one scared me and I could not put it down. Just finished it, wow. "

" A very good crime thriller of hte Swedish variety, with a satisfying ending. I would actually give it 3.5 stars if allowed, as the emotional part of the Ewert Grens character's past bored me a little. But the main character, Piet Hoffman, is exciting the whole way through. "

" Loved this page turner of a book that was translated from the original Swedish. It's hard to describe all of the twists and turns, but if you like a good thriller, this is a great read. "

" Piet Hoffman has spent the last several years posing as a drug trafficer to infiltrate thr Polish mafia for the Swedish police. "

" Slow read and picks up some steam in the end.Over-hyped and average is what I would call this. "

" Difficult to put down. Dark and intense, but a very strong plot. In the same vein as the Milenium trilogy books. If it was made into a movie, I would want to see it. "
