I finished The Chestnut Man and I have to say while I did think that the suspect was part of the group they were, I was not expecting it to be the one it turned out to be. I thought it was someone else completely in that particular circle of people. It was really good. If Sveistrup writes more novels, I will happily pick them up.
There was a book recommended to me on Goodreads the other day, and curious at the description, I picked it up. It was a bad idea. I get that a lot of people want to be published authors. But if your book is fifty pages or fewer, has no editing done whatsoever, and what plot there is makes no sense, do not publish it. I was recommended this book, In a Quarter of a Second by Anita Kirk, and I absolutely hated it. It was the most disturbing, poorly written nonsense I've ever read. It took me over a week to read because I could only handle so much of it at a time. There are a bunch of teens doing things that aren't likely to be legal in six years. They give alcohol to dogs, they kill people while having the cure for the people on their persons, they do all of this random unrelated stuff that has nothing at all to do with the plot. There is even a scene where a fifteen year old survives being stabbed in the forehead. THE FOREHEAD. I don't even know what the plot was supposed to be. The only rating this book has is 5/5 stars, but that was also from the author. I do not suggest reading this at all!!
