About this listen

Seventeen-year-old Lumikki Andersson is hardly your average teenager. She lives by herself in the city of Tampere, Finland, and has a firm rule to mind nobody's business but her own. But that rule is put to the test when she happens upon 500 washed euro notes hanging up to dry in her school's darkroom, and it is shattered once Lumikki realises who owns them.

Caught in an increasingly tangled web of deception, corruption, and danger, Lumikki finds herself navigating Tampere's dark underbelly in her quest to expose its shocking connection to the international drugs trade. Lumikki is smart, but is she smarter than a master criminal? Can she bring down the infamous 'Polar Bear' - or will she become another one of his victims?

The first part of a thrilling new Nordic crime series, As Red As Blood will have you on the edge of your seat until the last page is read...and then some.

I found the main character supercilious and tedious. The account of the general vanity and stupidity of her peer group juxtaposed against her own supposed independence of mind and practicality made the narrative irritating and predictable. Unfortunately the narrator manage to alienate me further. Possibly a good read for a slightly paranoid 10 year old. I gave up.

Oh dear
