An astounding read. It has the suspenseful twists of a thriller, the laugh-out-loud moments of a comedy and a tragic dimension that brings a tear to the eye' Crime Fiction Lover Gettato dal sicuro e ordinato mondo della matematica a quello assurdo e caotico del parco divertimento.....oh no no no scusa scusa parco AVVENTURA, c'è una differenza sostanziale tra le due cose e non vorrei finire come uno dei criminali che si mette contro Henric.

When the "Moose Paradox" begins with such a scene, it is already perceived as a continuation of a good (well, not that kind, but you understand) tradition. And you, such. You think: "Yeah, there's no peace for a man. So we are waiting for a nice entertainment." What to do, that's how we, readers, are arranged, about how people idyllically live a trouble-free life is interesting only in the movie "Barbie", and even then, about one-eighth of the total timekeeping. As for the heroes of genre literature, the steeper the batch into which the author will dip them, the more preferable it is Yes, it's crime fiction, there are some real rogues in this story and Henri fears for his life more than once. However, this is also laugh-out-loud funny as Tuomainen develops the plot and Henri gets himself into more and more crazy situations. Antti Tuomainen (b. 1971) is one of Finland’s most acclaimed and award-winning crime fiction writers. To date, Tuomainen’s works have been translated into more than 25 languages. Crowned “The King of Helsinki Noir,” Tuomainen’s piercing and evocative style has never stopped evolving. Antti Tuomainen turns the clichéd idea of dour, humourless Scandi noir upside down with The Rabbit Factor. Dark, gripping and hilarious … Tuomainen is the Carl Hiaasen of the fjords' Martyn WaitesAntti Tuomainen turns the clichéd idea of dour, humourless Scandi noir upside … Dark, gripping and hilarious. Tuomainen is the Carl Hiaasen of the fjords' Martyn Waites All the while, Henri is also trying to deal with the one bit of chaos that he actually wants in his life – his interest in artist Laura Helanto has grown exponentially since he first met her and her desire to build a sculptural element into her murals in the adventure park has his heart beating all the faster. cringe με τη σκύλα του Παπακαλιάτη που λεγόταν Μοναξιά, δηλαδή πιο cringe κι από τοποθέτηση του Στέφανου Χίου για τα δικαιώματα μεταναστών και ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+. It has been 15 years since award-winning Finnish copywriter Tuomainen launched his career as an author and in that time he has delighted readers and critics with 6 books that have seen him hailed by The Times as “the funniest writer in Europe,” and “the King of Helsinki Noir” by the Finnish press. Henri’s attention, the portion that’s not enthralled with the park’s former manager, Laura Helanto, is focussed on acquiring The Moose Chute. This ride, Henri is sure, will markedly increase their footfall, more than match their competitors, and thus be the answer to their financial woes.

Laconic, thrilling and warmly human. In these uncertain times, what better hero than an actuary?’ Chris Brookmyre In The Moose Paradox, Henri’s abilities are put further to the test when an unlikely individual arrives at the park one day. Henri thought he had resolved many of the outstanding issues left behind by his brother but what happens next is far beyond his experience and expectations. Added to that his relationship with Laura has hit a few speed bumps leaving Henri with unexpected emotions and in a bit of a quandary.Antti Tuomainen beautifully creates a situation that is rich in comic humour and that breathes a dry and beautifully wrought wit. Then he merges that with some seriously wrong dudes and throws out actuary into a series of situations that are not of his making but which nevertheless he needs to not only resolve but to do so in a manner that will not bring him under suspicion. Henri should not be a character whom it’s easy to root for. He’s pedantic, cold and arrogant. But enough of the things that rile him are the things that rile the rest of us: bad inefficiencies, terrible management-speak, disrespect towards another person’s travelcard. And we’re not too keen on the organised crimelords who chase Henri through the Tumble Tunnel and Pinball Parlour in his park, bringing adventure but not amusement. In the meantime, we notice that he’s having a great effect on the misfits around him, who are thinking differently, even if the positive results aren’t clear yet. Readers might think they know what to expect from Nordic noir: a tortured detective, a bleak setting, a brutal crime that shakes a small community. Finnish crime novelist Tuomainen turns all of this on its head … The ear of a giant plastic rabbit becomes a key weapon. It only gets darker and funnier' Guardian Il libro si apre molto bene, con un’idea interessante e un inizio brillante, che invogliano alla lettura. Lo stile è apprezzabile, allo stesso tempo sornione, un po’ compassato e dalla sottile ironia. Mi ha ricordato molto quello di un altro autore finlandese di cui ho letto diversi libri, Arto Paasilinna. I thoroughly enjoyed Henri’s journey as he applies his ever-present pragmatism and logic to the challenges he faces. Not only do his methods meet with some success, but Henri finds himself growing and changing in ways he never imagined or calculated as being of value.
