Shortly before Christmas, Chief Inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen, is called to the scene of multiple murders. Four people are found shot dead at the home of the wealthy Stahlberg family. Three of the dead are members of the family, and the fourth victim is an undistinguished author, seemingly out of place. As Hanne and her long-time police partner, Billy T., investigate, they unearth many motives for the murders. But Hanne doesn't believe that the full story has been revealed, and she concentrates her efforts on discovering why the author was at the Stahlberg home. As Hanne draws closer to the truth, she will once again risk everything for justice. But this time, will she pay the ultimate price?Rating Of Books Beyond the Truth (Hanne Wilhelmsen #7)

This would easily have been 5* from me BUT at one point she spelt her own character's name wrong and it blew it for me...so sloppy when this happens AND that nobody picks it up, either.I'd had a break from reading her stories for quite a long time as they weren't coming down in price then this one dropped a bit so I ordered it quick !!I'd missed the characters as they're such a very mixed bunch yet all so likeable in their own ways. Plus I've always preferred the Hanne series to the Johanne one.I love these Scandinavian novels, but I always have the hardest times with the names. They always slow me down. And this was no exception, no fault of the author, just the fault of me the reader not being used to different cultures.My only complaint about this book was that the crime was wrapped up and the suspects arrested so early. Everything pointed to them. It was too easy and I sort of became bored with the whole thing until the ending. Then there was a huge plot twist. However, the plot
There are nothing but glowing reports on the dust jacket of this book. And I've read most if not all of the Scandanavian crime writers. Holt does nothing for me. The language seemed stilted, and I'm guessing this is translating the work from Norwegian to English, but it went beyond that in terms of obvious cultural differences and the way people engage with each other. The most enjoyable thing in reading the book, for me, was that I was matched to the December day by day timeline as I read it.

Hanne Wilhelmsen and her Oslo police colleagues must solve the murders of three members of a prominent family, and a man who may or may not have been an invited guest. All but Wilhelmsen are convinced of the identity of the perpertrators and the motive. Surely the most stubborn, go-it-alone law officer I've encountered in my reading, Hanne refuses to accept the verdict of her fellows. She relies on her powers of intuition and deduction and dogged patience to crack the case. It seemed to this
It took me a minute to realize that Beyond the Truth is the seventh in the detective Hanna Wilhelmsen series, which I had not read. I still chose to read it but eventually became aware that I should have started with the first book of the series. There is so much focus on the recurring characters that it really is beneficial for the reader to be familiar with their backgrounds. As for the mystery, I didn't find it intriguing enough until the last fifty pages or so. I can see why the series has a
This book finally reveals the truth to the character of Hanne Willehmsen. This one involves a quadruple murder a few days before Christmas so naturally everyone in the police force is strung up high because of the high profile nature of the case. Reading it felt a bit long winded at times and Hanne seemed very moody and reckless in this book which is unlike her in the previous books and we learn a bit about her childhood which could explain some of her traits. The surprise ending is one no one
Another great read from Ms Holt. I love the characterisations, the interactions, the story telling. Whether its the intimacy of a positive interaction with a child or the Christmas decorations hung by a retired prostitute, the old dog finding shelter or the old man in and equally decrepit state, the descriptions are rich and rewarding for the reader.
