About this listen
Seven days. Three killings. And one woman who knows too much....
Crime reporter Annika Bengtzon is woken by a phonecall in the early hours of a wintry December morning. An explosion has ripped apart the Olympic Stadium. And a victim has been blown to pieces.
As Annika delves into the details of the bombing and the background of the victim, there is a second explosion. These chilling crimes could be her biggest news story yet. When her police source reveals they are hot on the heels of the bomber, Annika is guaranteed an exclusive with her name on it. But she is uncovering too much, and soon finds herself the target of a deranged serial killer....

But putting aside the children's fairy story reading style the main problem with this awful book is it reads like it was written by a 10 year old.
We are treated to what amounts to a tedious attempt to portray life in a newspaper as seen through the eyes of an insufferable main character who you are praying will be murdered. Nothing is realistic. We have editors of a modern newspaper waxing lyrical about how the press must never write about the private lives of the famous. Police officers divulging top secret information to a journalist because she is a little bit insistent, unrealistic side characters popping up with irrelevant back stories then disappearing for ever.
I always finish a book once I've started I even read a Dan Brown book once and managed to crawl to the finish line. However I couldn't stomach this tripe for another minute and abandoned it just into the second half when I realised I didn't care if every single unrealistic unbelievable character in the story were to suddenly drop dead. Whodunnit? Don't care. Does the main character triumph over the cartoon-like baddies in her office? Couldn't give a hoot.
Awful. Avoid.
