Audie Nominated in Solo Female Narration:The Boy in theSuitcase (Nina Borg #1) by Lene Kaaberbøl, Agnete Friis Narrated by, Katherine
Kellgren--
This was a good thriller/mystery that kept me wanting to
read more. The story is told by two women, Nina who finds the boy in the
suitcase and Sigita the mother of the child trying to piece together exactly
what happened and trying to find her son. These two women have both lived hard
lives and have both done things they regret but unbeknownst to each other are
both trying to save the boy.
As the story plays out you’re never sure the reason behind
everything so you are compelled to keep going so you can have your answers and
to see if all these characters will get their happily ever after. And when the
reason is slowly brought to light it wasn’t what I expected at all.
This has been hyped up and compared to Girl with the Dragon
Tattoo I for one was not a big fan of GWTDT so I am happy to report that I
liked this book much better! I’d recommend this to anyone who likes
thrillers/mysteries and likes strong female leads. I hear this is a first in
the series and if there is more I would definitely read more by this author.
Audio Production: This was my first Adult book narrated by,
Katherine Kellgren and as always she does a wonderful job, I just love the
timbre of her voice. She also does all the different eastern European accents
very well. A job well done!
This is up for an Audie Award in the Solo Female Category
and I think this is definitely a contender for winning the award, I have one
more to listen to it is a children’s book narrated by Katherine Kellgren as
well.
4 Stars
