Summary
Rising Tide is the pulse-pounding new instalment in the DI Jamie Johansson series and the terrifying follow-up to Angel Maker.
DI Jamie Johansson is on loan to the Stockholm Polis when a chilling call for help comes in. The Bolstad B oil platform in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea is in total lockdown. The body of one of the crew was found brutally attacked and then hanged from a crane. And another is missing. But operations cannot stop. The fate of the drilling company hangs by a thread, a crew change is imminent and tensions are reaching breaking point.
Jamie and her new partner, Anders Wiik, are flown out to the platform with just five days to solve the crime and a list of suspects unlike any they’ve dealt with. These people are scared, dangerous, angry and they’ll do anything to survive. Everyone just wants to go home, but as the switchover draws closer, more of the crew begin to disappear - one, by one, by one....
The killer is playing their own twisted game, and Jamie and Wiik are out of their depth.

Disappointed with storyline & narration
I enjoyed the 1st story in this trilogy - The Angel Maker - but this one irritated the hell out of me. Jamie is really starting to get annoying but I don’t know if it’s the narrator which also put me off. Completely overacted, too much swearing & the action scenes are ridiculous. How much ‘dancing on her left foot’ does Jamie need to do in one fight scene?! I don’t think I care to listen to the other books in the series or finish this one. Very disappointed. I’ll look for another detective series.

poorly researched
Poor research makes story silly.
In reality a much bigger crew.
1st book was good this is poor. I will give the next book a try if it's like this will give up. Too much drama not enough plot.

Sheer hard work
This was sheer hard work to listen too! So bloody far fetched to be ridiculous!
After the Angel Maker which I enjoyed, the cliffhanger at the end made me want the next in series but I’m sorry I did now!
Not sure I care what happened to her dad now, well not enough to get the next title
Sorry but wouldn’t recommend unless you need something to help you sleep

I won’t bother with any more
I heard the first book which I enjoyed but this one has put an end to my time with the author. The story was tedious and the bad language totally unnecessary. I was sooo glad when it ended.

Good idea, but not a great story
The first book was great, but this second one is not so much.
The setting is original and interesting but unrealistic. Two Stockholm detectives investigating a murder in the middle of the sea simply cannot happen. It has far too many action scenes that are extremely detailed for no reason and far too many times when the characters analyse theories, adding the author's tendency to repeat phrases, too.
But the thing that was the most annoying was how pointless the existence of Viik was, portraying him as useless, on top. He is supposed to be one of the greatest detectives but during the whole story he is behaving erratically with no good reason, adds nothing (even though his insticts were half-right from the start) and the character's only function is to show how much better Jamie is which gets tiring. In the end, the author makes him disappear completely exactly like she did in the first.
The narrator is the saving grace of this book.
I may give the series the benefit of the doubt and try the third book, but I am not sure at the moment.

Formulaic
I enjoyed the first book in the series , but this rapidly became implausible, formulaic and dull. Pity.

Frantic Action Story
Enjoyed the first book but this was claustrophobic and a not very clever plot and rather gory story line, only saved by the great narration.

Disappointing
I really enjoyed the first book in the series, but struggled with this second installment. It took me several tries to finally get into this book, and ultimately it was way too long. The setting is an oil platform, and it is a unique take on the locked room mystery trope. The book certainly had a claustrophobic vibe.
I had trouble visualizing the layout of the platform, which is a key element in the story. There were several extended action scenes dependent on the platform that didn't come across well in audio format. These scenes also streched credulity a bit too far.
There were some odd details missing from the story. For example, I think they only ate one meal - cereal in 5 days. How did they have the energy for all these battle scenes?
I did like to see the working relationship between the two detectives solidify, but after a sneak peek at book 3 in the series, it appears Wiik is no longer in the picture. I feel a bit betrayed by this.
There was also an excessive amount of gratuitous profanity.
