Summary

David Hewson's The Killing 2 is the novelization of the second series of the hit Danish crime drama, The Killing.

It is two years since the notorious Nanna Birk Larsen case.

Two years since Detective Sarah Lund left Copenhagen in disgrace for a remote outpost in northern Denmark.

When the body of a female lawyer is found in macabre circumstances in a military graveyard, there are elements of the crime scene that take Head of Homicide, Lennart Brix, back to an occupied wartime Denmark – a time its countrymen would wish to forget.

Brix knows that Lund is the one person he can rely on to discover the truth. Reluctantly she returns to Copenhagen and becomes intrigued with the facts surrounding the case. As more bodies are found, Lund comes to see a pattern and she realizes that the identity of the killer will be known once the truth behind a more recent wartime mission is finally revealed . . .

I have not watched the TV programmes so my only knowledge of TK books is via these audible downloads. I really enjoyed the first book but I think on balance, I enjoyed this one at least as much if not a bit more.



The story though complex was not as complicated as Book 1 and also the ending was less annoying (the first being annoying only because there was really no way the listener could have hoped to 'guess').



The weaving of murder and Danish politics seems to be part of this series formula and I do enjoy that.



I really like the narration too.

Even better than TK1

I watched the TV programme in Danish in Denmark where my son lives and have to say this was brilliant! It was true to the Danish, whilst written in the style that David Hewson does so well. I'm a Hewson fan, so if you like his Italian based novels you will love this! So many twists and turns it kept you guessing right up to the last chapter, and was just as good as The Killing 1. The narration is also excellent, I kept on saying one more chapter, one more chapter, but couldn't switch it off!

Excellent audio book, good flowing story and varied narration. Final playing out of who done it was a little quick and disjointed but got there.

Gripping

From the dramatic start of this book, to the end, spellbound!

Again, hard to believe that this was written after the TV drama!

I'm not going to give any of the story away, except to say, that our heroine is back.

Some wonderful characters, complicated plot-what do you expect?!

Brilliantly read.

Sad i have to listen to something else for a book group, but 3 will wait!

Definitely Not A Disappointment!!

I really persevered with this but the narrator finally conquered me after 6 hours. I just couldn’t ignore it and enjoy the plot.
Others seem to rate the narrator highly so maybe just me.
I advise listening to the sample before buying.

A bit disappointing
