Product Description

It is Autumn in Link�ping and the heavens have opened, but not even these biblical rains can wash away the blood of crimes, past and present. Then the brutally-stabbed body of self-made Internet billionaire Jerry Petersson is discovered floating face down in the moat surrounding his home, the imposing Skogs� Castle.

Malin Fors, the brilliant but flawed star of the Link�ping police force, is already struggling to keep her life together following the recent murder attempt on her teenage daughter, Tove. Now, as the Petersson case forces Malin to delve deep into Link�ping's history and her own family's past, the secrets she uncovers threaten to drown her, too....

©2012 Mons Kallentoft; (P)2012 Hodder & Stoughton

3.0 out of 5 stars Mons Kallentoft Autumn Killing 7 Oct 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Autumn Killing is the third in the Malin Fors quartet that I have purchased from Amazon. I must say that the first 40 pages were the most depressing I think that I have ever read in my 81 years. I persevered and the usual brilliance of the author and his detective Malin Fors began to come through. It was difficult for her however as Kallentoft has been overwhelmed (in my opinion of course)by his most irritating habit - voices off. The corpse speaks, the killer speaks, Malin speaks, three plus others, each all the way throughout the book, interrupting the text in italics. They identify themselves at first but not later on and the voices off merge and I did not know where I was.

So I see what Kallentoft was doing and why he was doing it, but if you pick up a crime book you want to read a crime book and not a lot of psychobabble. He is too good for all that rubbish. Leave it to those who have degrees in it and give readers straight forward Swedish crime I say!
I have pre-ordered the fourth not yet available book in the quartet from Amazon and shall read it I know, but sincerely hope it has no voices off.

By Mikey TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A billionaire is found dead outside his castle just outside Linköping and Malin Fors and the team of characters from Linköping police investigate.
Like his earlier two novels, Midwinter Sacrifice and Summertime Death, Mons Kallentoft's Autumn Killing is rich with character development and detail, not only of the main detective Fors, but also of her colleagues too.
Malin is drinking too much and is not communicating well with her daughter Tove. Recently she agreed to move back in with Tove's father, fireman Janne but the arrangement does not seem to have been working to anyone's benefit.
Having just over 500 pages makes this a decent read and I certainly look forward to the next in the series.
If you're looking for a detective story with absolutely no character detail and 100% plot, then Autumn Killing will not be to your taste.
Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mons Kallentoft keeps up the good work 24 May 2013
By Natasha
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Quite addictive despite some of the literary techniques used by Kallentoft which some dislike but which I think soften the horror a little, which is welcome! Have now read all in the series and they didn't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars More great Nordic Noir! 14 Dec 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being an Nordic Noir addict, a book would have to be VERY bad before getting a good score. This one was great.

I had read the first three and enjoyed them and was not disappointed. There are some characters and themes that continue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average which I found surprising 18 Sep 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The weakest of this author I have read so far. Quite pedestrian and slow throughout. A vagueness of plotting left me struggling whereas I enjoyed the others more.

1.0 out of 5 stars lost the plot 1 Nov 2012
By john H
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed his first two books but ,in this one, what were minor irritations have become major faults . I now find Malin and her problems tiresome , her problems with alchohol, her relationships with her daughter , her husband , her lover, her mother and father etc etc. She has lost her edge and so has the story . I now find his use of italicised voices which seem to take up more room equally tiresome , especially the returning dialogic voice of first murdered man .But ,above all, I do not like the use of the continuous and monotonous present tense : it is so old hat . It is a pity Kallentoft is in the grip of style . The yarn beneath all his stylish clutter is good and I would have prefered a less unconventional technique .

4.0 out of 5 stars Pipe down, dead people! 19 Mar 2013
Format:Paperback
I read 'Midwinter Sacrifice' and liked it, but I skipped the second book, which was a mistake as there are some mega plot spoilers in this third volume. (I wish authors wouldn't do this - we don't all read their books in the intended sequence.) Overall I enjoyed 'Autumn Killing', but it does have flaws, most notably the 'thoughts' of the dead people which keep interrupting the action. It's not as if they have anything interesting to say, either. I also found the flashbacks confusing as it wasn't always easy to work out whose they were (and I'm still not sure who got chased by the lawnmower). There was also a bit too much harping on about 'autumn' - decaying leaves all over the place - as if the author was determined to underline his title. But having said all this I still think this is a good story, well told in the author's idiosyncratic style, and Malin's descent in alcoholism, although depressing, is horribly convincing.

Have read all available novels so far...The unravelling of Malin Fors is probably the most interesting aspect of this series, but the story lines are becoming a bit formulaic. Read more

A good story drowned in the consequence of the writer having done a short course on Stream of Consciousness writing. It is almost impossible to read this book.
