Handling: <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>”SUMMER 1977. The Blyton Summer Detective Club (of Blyton Hills, a small mining town in Oregon’s Zoinx River Valley) solved their final mystery and unmasked the elusive Sleepy Lake monster–another low-life fortune hunter trying to get his dirty hands on the legendary riches hidden in Debo n Mansion. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

1990. The former detectives have grown up and apart, each haunted by disturbing memories of their final night in the old haunted house. There are too many strange, half-remembered encounters and events that cannot be dismissed or explained away by a guy in a mask. And Andy, the once intrepid tomboy now wanted in two states, is tired of running from her demons. She needs answers. To find them she will need Kerri, the one-time kid genius and budding biologist, now drinking her ghosts away in New York with Tim, an excitable Weimaraner descended from the original canine member of the club. They will also have to get Nate, the horror nerd currently residing in an asylum in Arkham, Massachusetts. Luckily Nate has not lost contact with Peter, the handsome jock turned movie star who was once their team leader . . . which is remarkable, considering Peter has been dead for years.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Ett s\u00e5 j\u00e4kla snyggt omslag. Handlingen l\u00e4t amazing. Vad kunde g\u00e5 fel? En blandning av Scooby Doo och H.P. Lovecraft. En detektivklubb som nu blivit vuxna och \u00e5terv\u00e4nder till ett gammalt case. Utspelar sig 1990. Ja, denna bok hade verkligen allt som l\u00e4t lockande.<\/p>\n

Tyv\u00e4rr blev det lite platt fall. I b\u00f6rjan tyckte jag allt verkade ganska sp\u00e4nnande. Karakt\u00e4rerna var intressanta. Speciellt hunden, Tim, f\u00f6r att smarta djur i b\u00f6cker alltid \u00e4r underh\u00e5llande att l\u00e4sa om. Cantero var duktig p\u00e5 att f\u00e5 in humor och jag log p\u00e5 flera st\u00e4llen. Men sedan blev det lite r\u00f6rigt. I handligen v\u00e4xlar Cantero mellan att ha l\u00f6pande dialog med text som ser ut som ett obearbetat manus. T.ex.:<\/p>\n

”Vad g\u00f6r du?” fr\u00e5gade Nate.
eller<\/em>
NATE: Vad g\u00f6r du?<\/p>\n

Jag f\u00f6rstod inte riktigt varf\u00f6r dialogstilen hoppade mellan ded\u00e4r tv\u00e5. Jag trodde nog att det skulle vara n\u00e5gon baktanke. Men icke!<\/p>\n

En annan sak som inte funkade f\u00f6r mig var orden ”f*cking” och ”sh*t” p\u00e5 varje sida. Hela tiden. Till sist ville jag tv\u00e4tta mina \u00f6gon lite. Det tappade lite kraften att sl\u00e4nga med svordomar i varje dialog.<\/p>\n

Det h\u00e4nde v\u00e4ldigt mycket under sista halvan av boken. MYCKET. S\u00e5 mycket att jag tror Cantero vore b\u00e4ttre att skriva filmmanus \u00e4n b\u00f6cker. Det var lite f\u00f6r r\u00f6rigt f\u00f6r mig att h\u00e4nga med n\u00e4r de fl\u00f6g genom f\u00f6nster, sl\u00e4pade sig fram genom tunnlar, irrade omkring i ett hus och de var utanf\u00f6r och innanf\u00f6r och \u00f6verallt… eller s\u00e5 \u00e4r jag inte van att l\u00e4sa mycket actionfylld litteratur.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 n\u00e5got s\u00e4tt fanns det \u00e4nd\u00e5 en lite mysig ”Scooby Doo”-ig k\u00e4nsla boken igenom. Lite otrov\u00e4rdigt blev det, men ganska underh\u00e5llande (n\u00e4r man h\u00e4ngde med i sv\u00e4ngarna vill s\u00e4ga). Jag hade kanske f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntat mig mera ”detektivarbete” och mindre apokalyptiskt tema. Tv\u00e4rtom blev det.<\/p>\n
