About this listen
Hakan Nesser is back with the second instalment in the Inspector Barbarotti series, The Root of Evil.
July 2007. A letter arrives on Inspector Barbarotti’s doorstep detailing a murder that is about to take place in his quiet Swedish town. By the time the police track down the subject of the letter, he is already dead.
So when a second letter arrives, then a third, and a fourth, it’s a game of cat and mouse to stop the killer before he can make good on all of his promises.
Meanwhile, an anonymous diary is unearthed depicting the incidents of a two-week holiday in France five years earlier, and it doesn’t take Barbarotti long to realize the people populating the diary are the ones whose lives are now in the balance....

Terrific story, written so well, and perfect narration. Made me chuckle occasionally. Have already got another Nesser / Wenner combination going...

Excellent!
Another good detective from Nesser, I can't wait for the next one! Martin Wenner excels as the narrator!

a meandering story
I almost gave up on this book several times. it is well read but the story is so complicated and not in a good way. By the end I was none the wiser about who killed whom and why

Drawn out
Good story but drawn out. If it hadn't been on audible I would have given up before the end.
