The chestnut man a novel

Summary: "A full-throttle thriller in the tradition of classic Stieg Larsson, drenched in atmosphere and charged with adrenaline. Buckle up. You'll gulp down every word. I loved this book."-A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window The heart-pounding debut from the creator of the hit Scandinavian television show The Killing. If you find one, he's already found you. A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen. His calling card is a "chestnut man"-a handmade doll made of matchsticks and two chestnuts-which he leaves at each bloody crime scene. Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery-a fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister's daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered a year ago. A tragic coincidence-or something more twisted' To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man's gruesome clues. Because it's clear that the madman is on a mission that is far from over. And no one is safe.

  • AudioFile Reviews : AudioFile Reviews 2019 November
    This superlatively good audio thriller, a first novel by the accomplished screenwriter S¿ren Sveistrup, is made almost unbearably vivid by narrator Peter Noble. The story hits all the usual gory marks of the genre but is also something more, psychologically richer, better written, and surprisingly moving. A chestnut man is a doll made in autumn by Danish schoolchildren, used here as the creepy signature of a particularly devastating serial killer. That you feel a sneaking sympathy for the murderer's rage when you finally understand what has triggered it says volumes about Sveistrup's skill, and the power of narration. Noble performs this demanding plot with total investment in the story, as if he were as caught in its grip as the characters. Impressive and haunting. B.G.
