Aquí lo siento pero no he terminado de empatizar con ninguno, ni en sus ratos buenos ni en los malos, quizá por la falta de información que comentaba anteriormente, que se hace muy evidenteTT (8 June 2022).

Es el segundo libro de una saga policial, y tiene cosillas que hacen referencia al libro anterior. Yo lo leí sin saber que era continuación, y la verdad es que se nota la falta de información. Hay bastantes diálogos y encuentros referentes al pasado que no terminas de entender y se te quedan muchas dudas en el aire. Si lo llego a saber antes, habría empezado por el principio de la saga.

I have never encountered so much anger, frustration and violence than from the men who, shrouded in the light of their computer screens, share their hatred for women with the world. Following that stand-alone title, he began writing a series about police detective Vanessa Frank. As of 2022, there are four titles in the Vanessa Frank series: Eldslandet (‘The Land of Fire’), Råttkungen (‘The Rat King’), Änkorna (‘The Widows’) and Kokain (‘Cocaine’). [10] Råttkungen is the first of these to be published in English, under the title Femicide, [11] by Legend Press as part of a three-book deal. Femicide has already sold over 100,000 copies in Sweden alone. [2] Both large and small publishers are represented on the longlist, with Orenda Books leading with three entries, and the breakdown by country is Sweden (5), Denmark (2), Norway (2), Finland (1), Iceland (1) and Switzerland (1), with translators Don Bartlett and Tara F Chace having translated two entries each.I began to dive into these forums, and of all the research I have done, as an author and journalist, this has been the worst – and darkest. The Vanessa Frank series is sold in over 20 countries and has been translated into 19 languages including English, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. [2] Literacy initiative [ edit ] The late Swedish author and magazine editor Stieg Larsson was the first to trace the expanding violence directed towards women in Sweden today and the first part in the notorious Millenium trilogy ( The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) was published in Sweden under the title Män som hatar kvinnor which translates into English as Men Who Hate Women. The title is also applicable to Engman's novel as it features a wide variety of characters, their social status spanning from the most affluent to the destitute and homeless, each narrating a story with multiple plot strands that unravels with a raw force, reminiscent of the best works by authors of the magnitude of Jo Nesbo and Lars Kepler. The main protagonist is Vanessa Frank who is assigned to the case of a femicide that took place in the Swedish capital and is initially perceived as the work of her boyfriend who may be incarcerated but at the time of the murder had been on leave from the prison. There are some references to Vanessa's previous case, the story of the first book in the saga (original title: Eldslandet), however Femicide can definitely be read as a standalone as it tells a totally self-contained storyline. Perhaps, those who are familiar with the previous work would be more familiar with the characters of Vanessa and Nicolas who are once more the duo of protagonists.
