novela policial sueca entretenida, con un ritmo cambiante y unos protagonistas que pueden gustarte mucho u odiarlos. Es el segundo libro de una saga policial, y tiene cosillas que hacen referencia al libro anterior. Yo lo leí sin saber que era continuación, y la verdad es que se nota la falta de información. Hay bastantes diálogos y encuentros referentes al pasado que no terminas de entender y se te quedan muchas dudas en el aire. Si lo llego a saber antes, habría empezado por el principio de la saga. The late Swedish author and magazine editor Stieg Larsson was the first to trace the expanding violence directed towards women in Sweden today and the first part in the notorious Millenium trilogy was published in Sweden under the title Män som hatar kvinnor which translates into English as Men Who Hate Women. The title is also applicable to Engman's novel as it features a wide variety of characters, their social status spanning from the most affluent to the destitute and homeless, who are narrating a story with multiple plot strands that unravels with a raw force, reminiscent of the best works by authors of the magnitude of Jo Nesbo and Lars Kepler. The main protagonist is Vanessa Frank who is assigned to the case of a femicide that took place in the Swedish capital and is initially perceived as the work of her boyfriend who may be incarcerated but at the time of the murder was free on leave from the prison. There are some references to Vanessa's previous case, the story of the first book in the saga (original title: Eldslandet) however Femicide can definitely be read as a standalone featuring a totally self-contained storyline. Perhaps, those who are familiar with the previous work would be more familiar with the characters of Vanessa and Nicola who are once more the duo of protagonists. Care Fenici, questo romanzo è sicuramente un caso editoriale interessante; basti pensare che, sin dal titolo, l’autore si propone di trattare uno dei temi più scottanti dei nostri giorni. Il femminicidio è una piaga sociale di ampia portata e di antica radice, origina da diverse cause e in diversi contesti, tanto che non è facile fare un profilo unico, se non tenendo conto del risultato finale: la morte della donna-vittima. Così, quando mi son trovata questo testo fra le mani, ho sentito forte l’impulso di capire come Engman avrebbe reso questo tema spinoso.Each character is strong. My stomach literally churned reading the POV of the mac daddy incel. The whole rat thing... omfg... just these subtle additions is what makes scandi literature so great. They tend to be equally curt and creepy instead of overblown and melodramatic. Jau pradėjus skaityti, Goodreads pastebėjau, kad "Žiurkių karalius" priklauso knygų serijai, kurios pagrindinė veikėja - Vanesa Frank. Pirma dalis dar neversta į lietuvių kalbą. Labai įdomu, kodėl. Mielai paskaityčiau apie įvykius, buvusius prieš tai, nes užuominos sufleruoja, kad pirmoji istorija ne ką mažiau įdomi. Ir labai tikiuosi (jei sulauksim pirmosios), kad žinomi dalykai, nesugadins skaitymo malonumo. ⠀ Cu toate că e un Thriller, apar câteva personaje față de care am simțit un oarecare atașament, personaje ca Celine, o mică rebelă pe care am adorat-o și mi-ar fi plăcut să aflu mai multe despre ea sau Niklas, băiatul bun cu un trecut întunecat. Protagonista, Vanessa, face parte din categoria polițistelor care pot rezolva un caz fără ajutorul altcuiva. Dacă era puțin mai violentă aș fi putut să jur că este Helen Grace, protagonista din seria lui Arlidge. Mi s-a părut un personaj destul de gol, prin comparație cu celelalte, dar poate că e de vină și meseria de polițist, în care doar datoria contează. În unele momente, asta o face să pară un roboțel pentru care și sexul devine un gest mecanic, fără sentiment. Following that stand-alone title, he began writing a series about police detective Vanessa Frank. As of 2022, there are four titles in the Vanessa Frank series: Eldslandet (‘The Land of Fire’), Råttkungen (‘The Rat King’), Änkorna (‘The Widows’) and Kokain (‘Cocaine’). [10] Råttkungen is the first of these to be published in English, under the title Femicide, [11] by Legend Press as part of a three-book deal. Femicide has already sold over 100,000 copies in Sweden alone. [2] Vengono, inoltre, introdotte diverse figure maschili, che rappresentano i vari prototipi di uomini violenti o deviati e le loro “controparti” femminili. Abbiamo il conduttore ricco e potente, molestatore seriale, insieme alla moglie-balia, brillante donna in carriera sempre accondiscendente e premurosa; il bad boys, carcerato, con la sua bambolina/sacco da boxe, che viene minacciata di morte quando finalmente trova il coraggio di piantarlo; lo stalker folle, che come un’ombra malvagia segue l’ignara malcapitata, facendola oggetto delle sue perverse fantasie; poi avanti con il collega stronzo, che ruba le idee all’arguta collaboratrice, il capo maschilista e, per completare la carrellata, anche il branco di stupratori.

Nieko nebuvau apie juos girdėjusi, tad teko pasigooglinti, paieškoti video, nes buvo labai įdomu. Pasirodo, tai vyrai, kurie nesavanoriškai yra celibate ir dėl to kaltina moteris. Šiame celibate esantys asmenys paprastai siekia meilės, tačiau dėl lytinio patrauklumo stokos, socialinių įgūdžių nebuvimo, perdėto jautrumo ar kitų, pačių keisčiausių priežasčių, nesugeba jos pasiekti.
