If no one had said it before, I will: The Chestnut Man (book) would've been near perfection without the hinting at Hess x Thulin. The way the author did Hess' tragic backstory dirty is beyond my comprehension. 😭😭 HE CAME UP WITH IT. WHY DID HE RUIN IT.

We're talking about a man who had lost his pregnant wife to a housefire and yet, the only time Hess actively considers her is at the very end of the book, for like four sentences. I get grief and suppressing hurtful memories, but whatever delusions the author had in mind in connection with Thulin and Hess absolutely ruined any impactful/authentic character development Hess could've had. I loved the way he was described and how he was made to be good with kids, why throw it all to the wind for an underdeveloped romance plotline?

Instead, I'd have LOVED to read something that rather dealt with Hess missing his late wife and unborn child and pondering at what could've been. The crime story itself was superb, but this really hindered everything for me. 😅😅

The Chestnut Man

Now 2nd season is announced. Two detectives and chestnut man figures at the scenes. They run around, back to the office to discuss and ask the residues to research in the lab. Darker look, but it is rather warmer days shootings than I would expected for the seasons for the chestnuts even in Danmark. The shots of the sky through the leaves and branches are quite impressive. The violence scenes are rather longer, but it is clear why the brutal events repeated in the end.

I found a Swedish actor as an important role, and he acted as the very opposite role in other Swedish drama, an advocate.

My July Reading Summary

Overall mood: energised. Returning to uni feels like I’ve been gifted a second wind, making reading and the pursuit of reading rewarding and therapeutic, even when it comes to the academic articles and theses I must read alongside my fiction. I enjoy the reading I do, and with the reads I’ve had this month that should come as no surprise. Books Read: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 4/5 DNF Yes,…

That moment when you are trying to hide a body with your wife while her random brother who you just found out existed a few days ago sits on your couch, having an avid discussion with the air next to him and then a random man in a suit and yet another brother-in-law shows up
