About This Audiobook

Jan Mehlum's 'Madrugada' is a chilling descent into the dark heart of Norway, where a quirky yet principled lawyer navigates a web of deceit and corruption. This is no cozy mystery; Mehlum's prose is as stark and unforgiving as the Arctic landscape, making for a gripping, atmospheric thriller. Jesper Bøllehuus's narration is the icing on this cake of dread, his dry, measured delivery perfectly capturing the story's bleak, tense undertones.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As a fan of Nordic noir, I was immediately drawn into 'Madrugada's' icy embrace. Bøllehuus's narration is a standout, his ability to convey the story's subtle shifts in tension and emotion making for a truly immersive listening experience. The plot is intricate, with enough red herrings to keep you guessing until the very end. However, the pacing can feel a tad slow at times, and some secondary characters could have used more development. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent audiobook that will leave you shivering in the best possible way.
