A slow starter but glad I stuck with it. I found it MesmeRizing.
Enjoyable read. Intricate plotting. Keeps you guessing.
When I reviewed the Game sci-fi/tech thriller trilogy by bestselling author Anders de la Motte (review links at the end of this review), it was one of those hold on for dear life roller coaster rides through a tech induced nightmare. I enjoyed every heart-stopping moment of it but it was also mind wrenching. That’s a long story to explain why I was a bit hesitant when I saw that Anders had written Book #1 of a new thriller duology, MemoRandom. At the same time, I find his writing style to be rea...
This was one of my least favorite Nordic Noir/Scandinavia crime books I've read. It had very little sense of place, this could have pretty easily been set in Chicago. I like to feel Scandinavia more in these books. It was also just slow and hard to get into. The flow was choppy and it kept jumping around. Overall, it took me a long time to read and I never really got that into it.
Definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time. AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. Not only does the author have absolutely amazing writing technique, but as well as that, just when you think you know how something is going to turn out, you get completely surprised by how the author makes things turn out. Everything at the beginning is scattered, you think, and all of the characters have no relation to each other. But the later on you read, you find out that everything eventually connects toget...

Although they initially appear in separate plot lines, they are gradually brought together by a common goal. Each is searching for a man known as Janus.David Sarac is a legend in th...
Memo Random – Chilly Scandi NoirFollowing on from his highly successful Game Trilogy, Anders de la Motte returns with another excellent high class thriller. Memo Random while being fast paced will leave you guessing throughout the book, and even though the clues are scattered throughout you are only given the answer to the whom at the end of the book.David Sarac is in a major accident and he has a vivid idea of what is happening around him but he really is not too sure. He can smell petrol and h...
Anders de la Motte has written a hard hitting, fast paced psychological thriller that takes readers into the world of secret police intelligence and shady alliances where no one is truly as they seem. From page one through the very end, readers are breathlessly awaiting the next twist and development to piece together the puzzle of David Sarac's life. More than just full of action, Memorandom is thoughtful and engaging, pulling readers into the mind of David Sarac, and discovering along with him...
Check out the full review at Kritters RamblingsLet me start by saying, I love Swedish mystery/thrillers. I love this defined sub-genre, so when starting this book I was beyond excited. Unfortunately this one didn't live up to the other Swedish mystery/thrillers I have read. For me, this book had a little too much police procedural and less of the gory crazy drama that I love when it comes to Swedish mystery/thrillers. Don't get me wrong there are dead bodies, but I felt like the body count was l...
I picked this book up second hand at our local charity shop for some holiday reading; mainly attracted to it by its cover, the fact that it looked like a new book (clean, no huge creases in the spine, no smell of cigarettes) and from the brief synopsis, sounded like a good read. (I’m a big fan of Scandi Noir on tv). I did wonder how it would read following translation but I needn’t have worried - it gripped me from page 1 and continued to right up to its conclusion.
The description sounded interesting. But very difficult to read. I think the author was trying too hard to make it suspenseful, like some sort of Hollywood script that it often felt contrived. I love when a story takes place in a different city or country but reading this story, you learn nothing about Sweden. It's only the occasional characters' names which reminds you that it's not taking place in the U.S. I have NEVER not finished a book. I just cannot get through this one. Had to stop half w...
It’s was good kept you guessing but it was all over the place with to many characters and questions..like what happened to Sarac,Atif and Natalie? Wished the minister would have gotten caught for killing Sofia.
It is my first crime mystery fiction book. Overall, I am kind of enjoying it. I was patient and concentrated, the information scattered everywhere and I had a very hard time to puzzle them together. However, things were much easier to understand later on in the book.
i found this just too ingenious and confusing, and didn't feel enlightened by the ending.
A very intriguing read that has numerous twist throughout the book. This story keeps the reader guessing, who is playing who, from the opening to the conclusion.
I read "Silenced" first which is the second book and truly enjoyed it. I have to say I was disappointed with "Memorandum". It just did not have the excitement of the second book.
Slow reading. Not a fan.
