About this listen
International best seller Samuel Bjork makes his US debut with a chilling and fast-paced thriller in which two detectives must hunt down a vengeful killer - and uncover the secret that ties each of them to the crime.
A six-year-old girl is found in the Norwegian countryside, hanging lifeless from a tree and dressed in strange doll's clothes. Around her neck is a sign that says, "I'm traveling alone."
A special homicide unit in Oslo reopens with veteran police investigator Holger Munch at the helm. Holger's first step is to persuade the brilliant but haunted investigator Mia Krüger, who has been living on an isolated island, overcome by memories of her past. When Mia views a photograph of the crime scene and spots the number one carved into the dead girl's fingernail, she knows this is only the beginning. Could this killer have something to do with a missing child abducted six years ago and never found or with the reclusive religious community hidden in the nearby woods?
Mia returns to duty to track down a revenge-driven and ruthlessly intelligent killer. But when Munch's own six-year-old granddaughter goes missing, Mia realizes that the killer's sinister game is personal, and I'm Traveling Alone races to an explosive - and shocking - conclusion.

When a young woman is found brutally murdered in her own apartment with an intricate pattern of lines carved into her face, Copenhagen police detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are assigned to the case. Soon, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who’s a bit too fond of drink and the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also turns out to be a budding novelist - and when Julie turns up as a murder victim in the unfinished mystery she’s writing, the link between fiction and real life grows.

Story
Seventeen years ago, Criminal Inspector Ewert Grens was called to the scene of a brutal crime. A family had been murdered, and the only survivor - and witness - was the five-year-old daughter. The girl was placed in the witness protection program, and the case went cold, but years later, Grens is still haunted by the seemingly random slaying and the little girl who was spared. So when he learns that the apartment where the crime occurred is now the scene of a mysterious break-in, Grens immediately fears that someone is intent on silencing the only witness.

The Cold Creek Highway stretches close to five hundred miles through British Columbia’s rugged wilderness to the west coast. Isolated and vast, it has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, young women traveling the road have gone missing. Motorists and hitchhikers, those passing through or living in one of the small towns scattered along the region, have fallen prey time and again. And no killer or abductor who has stalked the highway has ever been brought to justice.

Great story with awesome characters!
Any additional comments?
The ending was a bit rushed I think...but considering the book was over 15 hours I guess I can't complain. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to hear what happened to each character. Each character could have had their own little spin off. love the book.

Dark tale, beautifully narrated.
Laura Paton's performance was excellent as she read this dark tale of twisted minds and fractured childhoods. Bjork weaves together two main story lines together with skill as he builds his characters. Not many smiles here as we venture into damaged and depressed minds as well as those of the criminally insane! Nevertheless, there is redemption here too.
I do hope we get a chance to peep into the world of Holger and Mia again.

Excellent Narrator
I love this narrator. Laura Paton is very subtle in the way she differentiates between characters and has a natural way of speaking. I was never distracted by her. The book is really great as well. Ill be looking for more by Samuel Bjork.

Engaging and the seams show
The book was an engaging listen. At times I could feel the writer plodding his way through the middle bits and it made me like the text more. The story is wabi-sabi in spots; for example, when one detective asks another to Google a crime location. The aspect of the story that felt unnecessary was the heroin addiction link between the killer's deceased sister and Mia's deceased sister. Nonetheless, I will seek out other books by Bjork. The narrator made the book sing!

A New Favorite
I'm Traveling Alone is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to. The story kept me listening long after I should have gone to bed on several occasions, and the narrator, Laura Paton, was perfect for this book. I found the characters fascinating, and the jump from one point of view to another was handled skillfully. I hope there will be many more books in this series.

Haunting, Dark Nordic Police Procedural
The bottom line: This is a good story. Well worth the credit. At first it seems to be about an obese detective and a suicidal detective. . . the early chapters are a bit confounding. But in the end, it is about drug addicts, crimes against children, mental illness, corrupt-cultish religions and brilliant detective work.
The murders of children give this one a dark, sick premise and the author produced quite a few red herrings as the police made their way toward to cruel, deranged monster behind the deaths. There are actually two (or maybe two and a half) stories going at once -- all related by the activities of two staff at a local home for the aged; where the chief detective's mother resides. The big question throughout is just who is the real target of the murderer? The story line will keep you guessing. Ultimately, there are several heroes who surface -- a 13 year old boy, a teacher, and not least, a detective.
This is a good listen! Narrator is superb.

Bumpy at first, but excellent overall
I hope this is a series. Love all the characters, including their quirks, dramas, and background stories. The first quarter of the book jumps around a lot and it seems unlikely that all of the pieces come together as they do and yet it's a story so well told you don't want to put it down. What I liked most is that throughout it kept you on edge because the "bad guys" were winning.

Good Scandinavian mystery
For those of you who enjoy Scandinavian mysteries, this is a fine example. Main character is very engaging. Story is very suspenseful. Maybe not great literature, but good story writing.
