Synopsis

Nordic Noir Comes to AmericaThirty years after the shocking and never-solved 1986 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme on a snowy street in Stockholm, an activist priest is found gruesomely sacrificed on the altar of a Swedish-American church in Minneapolis. The church’s immigrant janitor is also slain, execution style.The crime shocks Hennepin Island, the church’s time-forgotten riverfront neighborhood, where Span Lokken, a demoralized newspaperman, and his improbable partner, Maggie Lindberg, the murdered clergyman’s stylish young assistant, join forces to search for the killers. The trail leads to the castle fortress of the island’s reclusive kingpin, Jonas Kron, whose “lost colony” delusions hide a gripping international mystery that brings the story full circle. Along the way, the curious bond between the unlikely detectives — Span and Maggie — only deepens as they seek to fill the empty spaces in their own lives.

Shockingly and surprisingly for me, I found this a top drawer read both time I have now read this! 'The People' are Colfer's wonderful re-imagined take on the Fae, Sprites, Goblins, Trolls, Dwarves etc. Artemis Fowl, budding and unashamedly a super villain finds out that these fantastical humanoids......more

Colfer has described this series as “Die Hard, with fairies”, which is a reference to an old Hollywood joke. After the phenomenal success of that movie, a lot of writers started pitching their scripts as ‘Die Hard, with [blank]”, such as Speed: “Die Hard on a Bus”, or Air Force One: “Die Hard, on Ai......more

"I want to know everything there is to know about one Artemis Fowl" It has been nearly a complete month of just Artemis Fowl! When I initially read this first book of the eight book series, I gave a 3-star rating, hoping to do a review later. I loved the story, but I didn't feel like giving a sol......more
