Erika (17788 KP) rated Eva's Eye (Inspector Konrad Sejer #1) in Books

Every once in a while, I become completely obsessed with certain genres. So basically, every time a new Jo Nesbo book comes out, I go on my Scandinavian crime fiction reading rampage. Nesbo recommends Fossum, and Fossum is considered the Queen in Norwegian crime fiction. So, naturally, I started with book 1 in her Inspector Sejer series, Eva's Eye. I believe it's been published under a different title in the States.
Overall, it was a good read. It wasn't necessarily easy to figure out, but maybe it was just me being slow. It was a quick read, and a good introduction to Sejer.

This is a Netflix original "dark comedy" crime drama. The acting was good and the cinematography was too. It's a small town crime story involving a group of people that grew up together and knew each other well. It's told in a backwards style so the events happening are shown in reverse order. The story unfolds quite well and keeps your interest the whole time. It has a few laughs and a pretty good twist to the end that isn't too predictable. I liked this movie overall. Nothing too graphic for kids either. Worth a watch!

EPIC
A group of 5 criminals who are always rounded up whenever a big crime is committed (hence the title.) They ending working together to commit a few crimes together when they are tracked down by a man working for a notorious crime figure named Kaisar Soze (sorry if badly misspelled) who begins to blackmail then to do one last deadly job and they can have their lives back. This all leads to amazing dramatic ending. The movie is full of major twists and turns and if you blink you might miss a huge plot point.
This is a movie that can never and should never be remade because you can't recreate a masterpiece. The twist I never saw coming and there are few actors today who could even play Kaisar Soze. This is a must see movie for all crime lover alike and anyone who likes a mystery.

Interesting True crime drama
A good drama based on a true story. A detective makes a decision to try and find a missing girl that will have repercussions for the case. The first few episodes were good as the police do the detective work to try and find a missing girl. They establish a suspect and try their best to find out where she is and what happened to her. The latter episodes deal with the court case and legal disputes over certain evidence. The beginning is like many other crime dramas, very tense trying to find a suspect and build up evidence. However the 2nd half of the series is bogged down by the legal red tape over the law of questioning suspects. Hard to believe that the law still hasn't been changed yet around this ruling. It is more interesting as it's a true crime drama though.
