Earth Storm is the 8th entry in the Malin Fors series. And it is among the strongest. This is Kellentoft at his best. The characters - Malin Fors and her co-workers - are well-defined. POV changes are frequent in the Fors series, but they are never distracting. You know which character is taking over the narrative precisely because they are so well-defined. The is a police procedural so I do not want to give away any of the story line. It is a well-written, engaging read (I read 280 pages the fi...

Goede detective roman. Vlot geschreven en goede verhaallijn. Spanning werd opgebouwd naar het einde toe. Ik hou van dit soort Scandinavische thrillers.

Malin Fors' relationship with Daniel is getting stronger, her battle with alcoholism continues but she is winning, her daughter is working in the Congo which is stressful and she has a new boss, who doesn't seem particularly adept but who is supportive. The core group of detectives are working on the latest crime to hit Linkoping, Sweden. In his usual fashion, Mons Kallentoft allows the reader to hear the mind of the criminal and at least one victim as well as the workings of Malin's mind as she...

Exceptional Read. This is the eighth book I’ve read in this series and I’ve absolutely loved every one of them. Mons Kallentoft certainly deserves all the praise he has received for his books. He puts just as much work into the characters as he does on the plot. I have really enjoyed following Malin Fors journey through the series, along with a number of other amazing characters. Earth Storm is gripping read, and I found myself reading faster and faster towards the end. It’s hard for Malin Fors

Wow what a ride, kept you intrigued and was a fast pace, I couldn't put it down.How your formative years can form you and how humanity can have two faces. Watch your words, look after them. They are important.Loved all the characters and I'll be looking for more from this author. Want / need to know how their stories progress.

Racism and social activists- you can’t get more current than that, complete with gruesome deaths, torture and edge-of-the-seat moments. In this dark mystery, you will be able to witness the clash of violence, love and lust, panic and fearlessness.Earth Storm is my first venture into the Malin Fors series but I am happy to say not having read any works by Kallentoft before, this did not take away from my reading experience. Yes, there are possibly some personal things surrounding Malin’s past tha...

3,5 ändå. samma klass som övriga men slutet var riktigt spännande!

Book Reviewed by Clive on www.whisperingstories.comI have frequently read that Swedish people enjoy a good standard of living, they are relatively healthy, they are well educated and they are supported by excellent welfare benefits. Even their crime statistics are better than most other countries. I therefore have to ask why their writers are so good at writing dark psychological thrillers.Earth Storm is the eighth book in the Malin Fors series and the first Mons Kallentoft book that I have read...

Spännande och svår att lägga ifrån sig.

A detective investigates a murder whilst struggling with her own demons.I really enjoyed this book, the plot had a few holes, but the writing and characters were all top notch.Overall rating 4.5

varje gång jag läser Kallentoft blir jag irriterad på mig själv som gör det.... ändå lyckas jag alltid glömma bort hur mkt jag ogillar skrivsättet yills jag sitter där med nästa bok och svär lite åt mig själv... aja helt ok bok ändå... bättre än den förra...

This author can do no wrong! Loved this! I couldn’t wait to see what Malin was up to and what was going on in her life and she was still troubled and worrying about her daughter. The way this author writes is magical,it creates a feeling and an atmosphere without the words being too flowery,over descriptive or wordy. I was anxious about whether they would find the young girl in time and then a character who I like and Malin needs gets taken and I have no nails left!!

Spannend boek. ken deze schrijven niet laat staan deze serie. Ga op Zoek naar eerdere boeken uit deze serie.

This was a fast read for me and I enjoyed it - I found the central mystery to be highly compelling and the plotting was excellent, various strands coming together and a great set of characters with some socially relevant and thought provoking themes. However I think in this case it DOES suffer, subjectively speaking, from the fact that I haven't read any previous books in the series. Sometimes that is fine but for me personally in this case it made some of the background a little disjointed. I f...

Goed boek, goede serie met Malin.

Det tog emot lite att börja på den här, efter förra delen som kanske inte var ett riktigt bottennapp, men som inte heller var speciellt bra. Dock passade den bra in när jag behövde en lite tunnare bok och min relation till Malin Fors verkar ju vara ganska tålig. Läs mer min blogg

very simple reading with extremely simple narrative

I am in a quandary about this book. It started very slow and at first I was not impressed with it. Malin' character was definately different. It seems that now that the "Maria" case had been sloved she really had nothing to sink her teeth into. I decided that it was good for a 3.5 because of the ingenious way the first victime was killed. The story improved after about half way through. Still I think that his previous book had alot more depth and held my interest

This was the first book of Mons Kallentoft that I've read and though it, definitely, was not disappointing I think that it's not a novel that you will never be able to forget. It as a typical Scandi-Noir police procedural, dealing with the usual themes of the genre such as difficult familial relationships and child abuse put in a wider political context which dismantles the myth of the Scandinavian, idyllic welfare state of freedom and equality. The protagonist is a seasoned detective, Malin For...
