The Killing, David Hewson

Read on the Kindle, 99p daily deal.

I'd seen the Danish TV series of the Killing 2 and 3, but only the American version of the first series.  Thought it would be fun to read this novelisation of the first Danish series.

The book did not disappoint.  It was sufficiently different from the American series, that I was never sure what was going to happen.

The only weakness I can find, is that because this is TV converted to text you don't get the kind of internal monologue, or what the characters are thinking that you get in a normal book.

Not sure how long this would be if it were a paperback, it felt long on the Kindle with many twists and turns and dead ends, which became characteristic of the series.  Only the ending disappointed as it came out of left field.
