The Wolf and the Watchman
The Wolf and the Watchman | Niklas Natt och Dag
Best Debut, The Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' Award 2017 'Thrilling, unnerving, clever and beautiful' Fredrik Backman The year is 1793. Over a year has passed since the death of Gustav III of Sweden and the nation is ruled with an iron fist by lord of the realm Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm. In the wake of the old king's passing, trust has turned into a sparse commodity. Paranoia and whispered conspiracies can be found at every corner. A mutilated body is discovered in the malodorous waters of Fatburen Lake on the island of Sdermalm. Missing both its legs and arms, the body has been disfigured beyond recognition. Though Cecil Winge of the Stockholm Police is himself marked for an early death by consumption, he takes on the case of solving the mystery of the Fatburen corpse. Cecil soon finds himself entangled in a web of dark secrets and boundless evil, a web with threads reaching all the way to the upper echelons of Stockholm society. In his debut novel The Wolf and the Watchman, Niklas Natt och Dag paints a compelling portrait of late 18th century Stockholm, the frightful yet fascinating reality lurking behind the powdered and painted veneer of the era.

This mystery is full of gruesome violence but the story fascinated me and the history parts of it are excellent. 1793 Stockholm: a limbless, blinded body is fished out of the water. City watchman Cardell and investigator Winge have to race time to discover the victim‘s identity and the perpetrator. https://cannonballread.com/2022/10/the-wolf-and-the-watchman-1793-a-novel-elcicc...

Make no mistake, this is grim, gory & gruesome. And very, very good. The writing is dark, brooding & atmospheric & the gory bits sit well within it ie. not at all gratuitous. The murder mystery plot is well structured & frankly devastating, exploring the depths of human depravity & how monsters are created. The 2 MCs are excellent. Mickel Cardell is the jaded/violent/damaged ex-soldier who comes through with hope of redemption...more in comments⬇️

readingjedi From above.... and as for Cecil Winge - what a fabulously drawn character! His ending - and the ending in general - is perfection! A gobsmacking twist, a gasp inducing revelation & a deeply satisfying light bulb moment re: the book's title - the last line is fire 🔥👌 Extra points for an extraordinary villain - so complex, so disgustingly hateful but somehow impossible to hate entirely. So SO good!!! 2y

It‘s a hard nope from me. I don‘t mind books being dark and disturbing sometimes if I feel like it‘s in service of a meaning, or educating me, or just a plot, but this wasn‘t dark in order to get somewhere it felt like an exercise in writing down the most twisted, disturbing and just plain icky stuff someone could come up with. The plot didn‘t even hang together and I got nothing from this apart from ‘wow stop thinking about torture so much mate‘

Bookwomble Ugh! I really don't get 'torture porn' either 😑 4y
TheAromaofBooks It's sad because the cover is so gorgeous. But I gave up on this one almost right away. Graphic violence isn't for me!!! 4y

Dark, disturbing, & definitely not for the faint of heart, this historical mystery is a compelling read that plums the depth of humanity in exploring the making of a monster & the impact of hunting that monster on the men tasked with his capture—if they can solve the crime. As dark as it gets, there are also moments of hope, resilience, & redemption for wrongs made right. If you like dark, atmospheric period mysteries, it‘s worth a read.

I‘m not always (usually?!?) a mood reader but the snowy, gray day outside made me think of this book which has been sitting in my TBR stack(s) a couple of months. So, why fight it? I‘m going with murder in 18th c. Stockholm for my next read.

I didn‘t want to, but I had no choice.
Back cover:
- reads like a season of True Detective (yes)
- an ornate period piece with style to spare (perfect)
- includes a riveting murder mystery (let‘s do it)
- a bit of Patrick Süskind‘s Perfume (gross but good)
- a bit of Sherlock Holmes (right on)

This book came home last night for all the right reasons!

Nute @DGRachel As soon as there was a comparison to Perfume, I knew to be forewarned for either creepiness or violence. I don‘t like intense graphic violence. I don‘t care for vivid creepy images that linger in my mind. I think that I might be faint-hearted!🥴 4y

What are the odds on finishing a Japanese torso mystery and the next read starts off with the discovery of a torso, but this time it‘s a historical thriller, bleak, horrific, and violent,set in Sweden where life is brutal for the poor in war‘s aftermath? The watchman is ex-Navy with a wooden arm-the muscle-and the wolf is a detective dying from consumption who has a moral compass. Women are finely portrayed. Horrific but satisfying. More, please.

A dark and grim murder mystery set in 1793 Stockholm. A mutilated corpse brings together Cardell (the muscle) and Winge (the brains) as they attempt to discover the killer. Told in four parts, the reader is given multiple character perspectives which eventually all point to how and why the victim was murdered. Fair warning, if you do pick this up, I would maybe avoid eating during part two.

Getting back to my morning #booksandbooze hang out.
This was an impressive debut.. so much going on! I think there were some ideas/plots touched on that could have made for stand alone novels as they were a little off the central plot but it was definitely interesting... and graphic! If you‘re into that kind of thing...

To say I liked or enjoyed this seems wrong. It is graphic and brutal in its depravity. It is also well-written and compelling. Many, many times I wanted to bail because of the explicit violence, but I needed to know what happened. This is an impressive debut, but I don‘t think I could stomach another book by this author. Third book done for #24B4Monday, about 10.5 hours total for the readathon.

Reading on the Kindle app during lunch. This is NOT a good book to read while eating, FYI. It's like a horrific accident scene or train wreck - there's blood and gore and you KNOW you shouldn't look, that it will be unbearable, but you just. can't. look. away. The writing is so good, but it is definitely not for the faint of heart. I'm torn between bailing because UGH and needing to know how it ends. 😱

AmyG I won this on goodreads. Glad to know it‘s good. And thanks for the head‘s up...about the goriness.😳 5y
DGRachel @AmyG It seems wrong to say I'm enjoying it, so I will settle for it's very hard to put down, but I do wish I had known it was so brutal before I requested it from NetGalley. I did buy a copy because I missed the publication date because it sounded so good, but it's definitely not an easy read and I fear what it coming. The author has done a good job of building tension/creating anxiety. 5y

This tale blurred the lines of good and evil, right and wrong, love and hate. Makes one question, is it right for us to play God when things need to be righted? Or let life take its course? Is there humanity in this dog-eat-dog world? Or is every man for himself?

Full review on my blog.

Thank you #Netgalley and #AtriaBooks for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Though I understand that the violent scenes were necessary to show the horrible gap between classes, the terrible realities of the destitute and the poor, some of them did feel gratuitous at times. In a way, it's a good story that deals in a realistic and often heartbreaking manner with the stories of the less fortunate, their horrible fates and the way they're used for the entertainment of others and nothing more.

Olivia306 Some parts of it are well written and the writing flows more naturally. But the detective part of the story hit me the hardest and I'm sure that it wasn't in the way the author intended. There are parts of it that feel clumsy and wooden. I failed to grasp the moral of it. Maybe, as it was intended, there is no moral, only the harsh realities of life and the terrible things we do to each other. 5y

What an absolutely stonking start to my 2019 reading, with this historical fiction set in Sweden in the late 18th Century. Character, setting and writing are all so well done, and it's pace, although leisurely in some parts, kept me hòoked. My first read of 2019 and it's 5🌟 from me!
