BLOG TOUR,BOOK REVIEW - Little Siberia by Antti Tuomainen

It's astonishing the amount of trouble you can find yourself in just because a piece of space rock decides to fall from the sky and crash through the roof of a car that is being driven by a resident of the small village of Hurmevaara in Finland, where you just happen to be the village parson. A piece of rock that is apparently worth one million euros and comes to the attention of some greedy and unscrupulous individuals including a femme fatale,a couple of Russian mobsters and a number of the residents of the village. The meteorite is placed in the local museum for safe keeping until four days later when it will be transported to Helsinki and then on to London. Pastor Joel who is struggling with his beliefs and has just found out that his wife is pregnant (which is a miracle in itself because Joel can't have kids since he was badly injured when he stood on a landmine whilst serving in Afghanistan) volunteers to guard the meteorite on the four nights that it will be in the museum. Little realising just how much trouble that piece of space rock is going to cause him,it might even cost him his life.

Ok,I put my hands up, I honestly wouldn't have known that this book existed if Anne Carter hadn't sent me an E-mail about the Blog tour. So thanks so much to Anne for bringing this fast paced,adrenaline rush to my attention. I loved this amazing book,I loved Pastor Joel aka Pastor Bourne,ex soldier,action hero and very likeable guy despite having a couple of character flaws. Most of the other characters were unlikable,greedy,unscrupulous,untrustworthy and prepared to go to any lengths to fulfil their personal goals. The author's detailed descriptions of the isolated location,the winding arctic roads,the freezing cold temperatures and the lack of daylight hours made it possible for the reader to close their eyes and picture the locations and feel the cold winds chilling you to the bone.

Little Siberia is a action packed thriller that rockets along faster than a roller coaster. So if you are looking for a gripping,thrill ride that is well written, has a likeable hero and a dash of humour then get yourself a copy of this brilliant book,get comfy in your reading chair and enjoy. I would love to watch a film adaptation of this book. Very very highly recommended.

Finnish Antti Tuomainen (b. 1971) was an award-winning copywriter when he made his literary debut in 2007 as a suspense author. The critically acclaimed My Brother’s Keeper was published two years later. In 2011 Tuomainen’s third novel, The Healer, was awarded the Clue Award for ‘Best Finnish Crime Novel of 2011’ and was shortlisted for the Glass Key Award. The Finnish press labelled The Healer – the story of a writer desperately searching for his missing wife in a post-apocalyptic Helsinki – ‘unputdownable’. Two years later in 2013 they crowned Tuomainen ‘The King of Helsinki Noir’ when Dark as My Heart was published. With a piercing and evocative style, Tuomainen is one of the first to challenge the Scandinavian crime genre formula. The Man Who Died brought him to his literary best.
