With sadness in my heart, I am writing to announce the passionate readers of The Rabbit Factor Trilogy by Finnish Noir King Antti Tuomainen that with The Beaver Theory, the series ends - predictable, as it was planned as a three-part series. Translated from Finnish into English by David Hackston and published by Orenda Books, the books offers the perfect ´good bye´ to my favorite mathematician character, Henri.
Henri, a lover of order and clearly cut future plans, is thrown far away from his comfort zone and turned not only into a manager of an adventure park - YouMeFun - a family father soon turned into a member of a ´Dads Gang´ and a detective by the force of events. The book, as the other installments continue the same comic thriller turn, unique style for both the thriller and the comic genre, but a lovely meeting of intelligence and laugh.
Expect bodies, as per the description of a serious thriller, but the takes may make you laugh to tears. At least I did, and I am not the one to be too faint of heart. Exceptionally, Tuomainen manages perfectly the long cast, bringing in and out of the story, a various - sometimes funny, sometimes scary - selection of characters.
Soon to be a motion ficture, The Rabbit Trilogy was worth the ride and the laughs, and I hope that Tuomainen will continue enchanting the big fans of this style, bringing more and more funny thrilling stories and their actors into the literary world.
