Omtale; Når stormen aldri løyer av Lars Helle

For lenge siden var jeg heldig nok til å motta et leseeksemplar av krimromanen Når stormen aldri løyer av Lars Helle fra forlaget. Nå har jeg lest boka og i dag kommer omtalen.

Beskrivelse fra forlaget
En forblåst novemberdag i 2012 banker det forsiktig på krimforfatter Kurt Stilles dør. Utenfor står en søkkvåt, ung kvinne. Hun bringer med seg et brev som snur Kurts verden på hodet. Alle tanker han har tenkt, må tenkes på nytt. Vonde ting vil virvles opp. Sorg hentes fram. I 1984 deltok Kurt Stille i etterforskningen av drapet på datteren til en svært moralistisk biskop. Jakten brakte ham i kontakt med kristenrockere, forfyllede forfattere, Grand Prix-artister og vikingspillere. Det eneste de hadde til felles var at de løy. Har kvinnens brev en forbindelse med attenåringen som ble funnet død ved foten av et stup midt under Lillehammer-OL? Eller med gutten som ble drept i en narkohandel mens politiet var opptatt av å lete etter NOKAS-ranerne? Samtidig som Kurt forsøker å finne sammenhengene ingen andre vil se, lurer en skygge i kulissene. En som vil Kurt og datteren hans alt enn godt.

«Når stormen aldri løyer» er en ekte «who-done-it-krim». Her gis leseren alle
muligheter til å løse gåtene før hovedpersonen.

Dette er Lars Helles første roman om Kurt Stille.

Mine tanker om boka
Siden jeg allerede har lest noen bøker av Lars Helle, visste jeg hva jeg gikk til og jeg ble ikke skuffet. Det er nok av tråder og spor som nøstes opp. Historien er interessant, samt jeg har sans for språket og skrivestilen til forfatteren. Gunnar Holt, hovedpersonen i den forrige serien til Lars Helle dukker også kjapt opp i denne romanen. Når stormen aldri løyer kan definitivt anbefales.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w
