    Shadowing a detective
  

*by U***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013*

I like Ake Edwardson. There are novels that keep me in much more suspense. Other novels that make me stay up at night. And others still that let me identify with the main character in a really meaningful way. This one didn't do any of that. But I still liked it a lot, just the way I have thoroughly enjoyed all the other Edwardson novels I've read. I like the almost passionless, detached and detailed descriptions of police procedures and crime scenes. I like the snippets of banter that the book is full of - meaningless small talk that suddenly turns into existential wisdom. Surprisingly, what I love the most is the sense of frustration I experience throughout the story - knowing as much (or as little) as the inspector, desperately looking for more clues and not being able to find clear answers. Somehow, this seems realistic. Credible. Like watching a really well-researched, nicely-paced documentary. It's not for everyone. But I like it.

    An icy dance with death
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2009*

This crime story, which in one sense could be read as a formulaic `thrilla,' shows uncommon insight into the psychology of a confident, thirty-something homicide detective at the terrifying brink of self-awareness. Erik Winter is the hero of a popular series of Swedish crime novels by Åke Edwardson that are not yet very well-known in the U.S."Death Angels" is the first book in the Erik Winter series, although two of the subsequent books were previously published in English, but with a different translator. If you want to read the series chronologically, "Death Angels" is the place to start. And if the rest of the books are as compelling as this one, bring `em on.The plot of "Death Angels" spins around some grotesque murders of teenage boys that are being committed in both Sweden and London. It makes for some intriguing give and take among investigators in both cities who decide to pool their resources. You're into the first murder right away, and I do mean right in the middle of it. Did I mention I couldn't do Winter's job?One of the things I liked best about the book was Edwardson's depiction of the toll on the living that the homicide grind takes, not just on the families of the victims, but on the men and women who are working the case. The way they talk to each other, the camaraderie, the shorthand, the dark humor and odd bravado, all ring true. You could slap this up on a movie screen just as it is.I liked Erik Winter right away. This detective is not one of those gnarled characters with a wise-acre attitude and hot temper. He's coolly elegant, keenly able, admired and envied by his colleagues in homicide. But he is exceptionally young to be their boss, and he's a complete enigma to them.Turns out Winter is also an enigma to himself and to his family, which makes him an excellent character for Edwardson to build a string of crime novels on. How can you not like a guy who says of soccer, "I could have been something, but I wasn't injured often enough." Or, my absolute favorite, when Winter passes by his sister's house, noticing the lights aren't on, and says to himself, "Nobody's home, you can call tonight." For somebody who works that hard to keep his distance from people who want to get inside his head, he turns out to have terrific intuition for drilling right into the brains of criminals.The supporting characters are great. One bizarre twist involves a young detective, about to become a father, who gets thrust into the world of illicit porn to track down some clues, and you get a real sense of the destabilizing threat that this kind of work involves, and how weird and sometimes touching the coping mechanisms can get to be. I don't want to give away any more of it, but Edwardson does his homework when it comes to character development. The case painfully affects Winter, too, and with good reason.I got caught up right away in the icy-clear language of the saga. Everything that had to do with Swedish half-darkness and sunlight and the penetration of the cold and the intense awareness of any hint of spring -- all that is wonderfully evocative in tone. I could feel Scandinavia in my bones. And music's really important to the story, both indie rock and jazz. You'll pick up a tip or two.

    Not the best in the series, but still an interesting read
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2010*

This is the first book in the series (at least of those that have been published in English). It's not as distinctive as later books in the series, but a good read -- and it introduces Winter.I've also read Sun and Shadow, and Never End. Each book has been better than the last. I like the series story arc of the main character, as he progresses in his personal and professional life. The mysteries themselves, and the details of the police procedural are well done. Winter is portrayed as more humane than many fictional detectives.
