About this ebook
Like his fellow countryman Henning Mankell, Åke Edwardson is a successful figure on the international mystery scene and a brilliant discovery for lovers of intricate, psychologically charged, and stylish crime novels. With Sun and Shadow, Edwardson introduces readers to detective Erik Winter, the youngest chief inspector in Sweden, who wears sharp suits, cooks gourmet meals, has a penchant for jazz, and is about to become a father. He's also moody and intuitive, his mind inhabiting the crimes he's trying to solve. In this atmospheric, heart-stopping tale, Winter's troubles abound—and a bloody double murder on his doorstep is just the beginning.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This developed more of the personal side of Winter - much of which wasn't that integral to the book. It did end rather abruptly with the revealing of the killer but left a lot for the reader to fill in the gaps.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A page turner but somewhat disruptive in the manner it jumps from one person to another - can't blame the translator as he is done a number of Henning Mankell's, Wallander series and these are better by far than the Ake Edwardson. Worth persevering with for a quick read and interesting plot lines.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another police procedural from Sweden's Ake Edwardson, featuring Erik Winter -- the youngest chief inspector in Sweden, and perhaps the buzziest in Swedish crime fiction. This is a good read, suspenseful enough to keep the pages turning, with enough "personal stuff" to add interest. Still, I find Winter less interesting than several other Scandinavian cops -- as an old person, I prefer the more complex and less self-confident types.
