Another great book by this author. I enjoyed finding out what Malin and Tove were up to now and all the supporting characters. There were two stories entwined here,who killed the old man and who is stalking Morelia? Is it the same person? I thought it was a few different people and for different reasons but in the end it was fur a reason I didn’t even think of! Brilliant! Everyone hated Morelia but he loved his daughter so much and wanted to give her the world so I couldn’t dislike him as much a...

fan van Kallentoft,na "Zack"-een topboek,toch terug de moeite waard!Leuk is dat de dode(n)af en toe ook aan het woord gelaten wordt-sterk,maar misschien voor sommigen voorspelbaar einde.

As with the previous novels in this series, Souls Of Air focuses on social-political concerns; this time the injustices of commercialised nursing care for the elderly. Thankfully, unlike previous novels, central character Malin Fors appears to be on top of her previous drinking problems, although now seems to fear the problem could be hereditary and gets anxious if her daughter Tove so much as drinks a glass of beer. Tove features far more prominently in this novel than previous ones as she work...

My first Mons Kallentoft book. This is not the first Malin Fors book; it is number seven, and so for me I was meeting the central characters for the first time. I enjoyed the story line and although it was neither a cliffhanger nor overly suspenseful it was well written with a good crime mystery at its centre and I felt Malin was well developed. The other people from family, to old flames, colleagues, suspects and (possibly returning from previous books) bad people all played a part to the story...

Another great read by Mons Kallentoft. As all the previous books, there is a big focus in the social injustices of the world. Malin Fors is on top form once again and seems to have got her demons under control although she's always fighting hard to keep it that way. Personally I would have liked to see more of Elin Sand, but because she's new to the department she still has to earn her stripes so to speak. The story flows nicely throughout and you sort of guess who the killer was but not for the...

Efter det ganska lyckade återseendet med Malin Fors i Vattenänglar så såg jag faktiskt fram emot att läsa Vindsjälar. Man tycker ju att jag borde ha lärt mig nu att det inte alltid funkar så bra att läsa böcker i en serie för tätt inpå varandra. Nu kom jag plötsligt ihåg vad jag retade mig på i de tidigare böckerna. Nej, riktigt så illa blev det inte, men kom ihåg gjorde jag. Läs mer på min blogg

Något sämre än de tidigare böckerna i serien... Handlingen lite sådär, Kallentoft kan nog bättre!

Two weeks ago today my 95 year old aunt who spent the last two years in a nursing home passed away. I had no idea what the subject of this latest Kallentoft installment of the Malin Fors series was, but the opening chapters were almost exactly the conversations I had with my aunt only a month ago. Her nursing home purchased by a new company, the staff reductions, the loss of long-time staff to other jobs that paid more, the degradation of care and the horror of unappetizing, cold or lukewarm mea...

Love the way Mons used Tove to be Malin's conscience and how she takes after her father and goes to Africa. Malin solves the case that takes everything into account. Zeke is in a new relationship with Karin. Everyone is in a turmoil and it is comforting to see it happen. The story has many turns that have all the characters changing their ways. It's also a time for Mons to figure out if Malin is going to take over for Sven? I would read this if you know any of the old characters because Mons has...

This will be the last Book about Malin Fors I read. ( should more be written that is!) why? Because I don't like her character at all. I find her irritating. And I want ,even a flawed hero to have some redeeming features , and for me she doesn't! Shame after investing so much reading time.

Het is voor mij een eerste kennismaking met Mons Kattentoft. Dit boek is een vervolg op Engelwater en deel twee in de serie over inspecteur Malin Fors, maar kan zonder een enkel probleem los worden gelezen.In de proloog wordt onder meer de titel Lichthemel verklaard.Het is een spannend boek van het begin tot het eind. Malin Fors is behalve druk met de moord ook erg druk met zichzelf en haar omgeving. Dat maakt haar heel menselijk. Je leert alle personages goed kennen door de manier waarop ze bes...

I musKt remember that, of all Swedish mystery writers, I like Kallentoft least! The subject and story are interesting - nursing homes are being increasingly turned over to money=making companies, concerned more with their profit than the health and comfort of their patients. Disgusting development in much of the world. A young woman, daughter of Malin Fors (Kallentoft's main police character) is working in this nursing home and her favorite patient, a very elderly man, has either committed suici...

Better than usual development of recurring characters esp relationship between Malin & daughter Tove. More insights into some of her fellow police. good characterization of the various villains. As usual the journey of the departed and their attempts to connect with their already departed loved ones and with Malin is interesting and provides a unique commentary to carry the story forward, placing the reader a step ahead of Malin, sometimes.

The Malin Fors series felt groundbreaking at the beginning, as if Kallentoft were onto an original take on the Scandinavian crime novel. Seven books in they have become formulaic. I still enjoy the series, but I know I have a standard crime novel with the voices of the investigation (very limited this go round). The characters are still strong, which is what drives the series. What is not strong is the editing. Whether sloppiness or laziness, the lack of attention in the latter entries in the se...

Mai buna decat Water Angels, mai putine “voci” de auzit decat de obicei, which is an improvement.Intriga e smart si felul in care decurge actiunea. Mi-a placut felul in care motivatia din spatele crimei e intr-o zona gri a problemelor cu care se confrunta orice adult, ceea ce a umanizat persoana din spatele crime, pana ce, te-a facut sa-ti para rau de ea. Finalul e fix ce trebuie, bombita.

lättläst, underhållande och helt ok. listade ut mördaren i alla fall!

It’s probably the weakest book in the series so far. The plot pace is ok but the solution of the whodunnit portion of the novel is quite lame.

Jag har läst många böcker i serien om Malin Fors. Den här känns som en i mängden, lite vattentramp. Helt okej, men lyfter inte riktigt och greppar tag som andra delar i serien. Stort plus till aktuell kritik mot NPM och slakten och utförsäljningen av vården i samhället. För många av böckerna tar upp våld och död bland barn. Svårt med sånt, men de små är förstås inte förskonade från ont. Slutknorren är en rejäl magsop som känns.

Number 7 in the series with police Malin Fors. It is not just a crime novel, it is an evaluation of the society we have built up around ourselves.
