Summary

David Hewson's The Killing 3 is the novelization of the third series of the hit Danish crime drama, The Killing.

Detective Inspector for homicide, Sarah Lund, is contacted by old flame Mathias Borch from National Intelligence. Borch fears that what first appeared to be a random killing at the docks is the beginning of an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Troels Hartmann. The murder draws attention towards the shipping and oil giant, Zeeland, run by billionaire Robert Zeuthen.

When Zeuthen's 9-year-old daughter, Emilie, is kidnapped the investigation takes on a different dimension as it soon becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to the murder of a young girl in Jutland some years earlier.

Hartmann is in the middle of an election campaign, made all the more turbulent because of the mounting financial crisis. He needs Zeeland's backing.

Lund needs to make sense of the clues left by Emilie's perpetrator before it's too late.

And can she finally face the demons that have long haunted her?

Turns TV gold into literary gold.

This book had an excellent story and characters and did not disappoint. The killing II had me gripped, but this one has a good plot and stayed with me even when I was not listening and the end although not the ending I wanted, was unexpected and good. Recommended, the narration by Christian Rodska was superb.

Eagerly awaited

Having listened to the two previous Killing books and thoroughly enjoyed them I eagerly devoured this one. A great listen and so well read by Christian Rodska. Will there be a fourth ? I do hope so!

A great listen.

Shame the story wasn't left a little more open ended as with the TV series, but very good as with the first two books.

Christian Rodska a consistent narrator, but still unsure as to why he uses English regional accents for different characters?

Another good read

Where does The Killing 3 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I must be lucky as everything I've listened to so far has been great.

Any additional comments?

Well what can I say? The Killing 3 is a great listen that’s what. I have listened to the first 2 so have finished the trilogy. It is a shame it doesn't continue as you can get quite attached to Sarah Lund.All 3 books are great stories in themselves, but please do listen to them in sequence for extra enjoyment. The characters seem well fleshed out with “normal” life happening to and around them even when extraordinary things are happening too. There are twists a plenty and some are not as simple as you may have guessed, so it keeps you on the edge till the end.The narration by Christian Rodska is very good, well-paced, and very clear. All in all a very enjoyable yarn.

A very enjoyable listen
