This book is the definition of a Nordic
Noir novel! Which is my all-time favorite genre. Maybe I was bored in Scandinavia
in another life? I am just so drawn to Nordic Noir book and the darkness of
them.
This one is very dark and gruesome, and
I would expect less! I loved how the story was part police procedural, and part
psychological thriller. The perfect combination if you ask me!
One thing I don’t enjoy in Nordic
Noir novels, is that there’s always a hint of politics in them and I honestly
find it so dry and boring. This is the only reason this book isn’t a 5-star for
me.
I really ended up loving Thulin’s character
and I especially loved the dynamic between her and Mark. There was a great
relationship development between the two since in the beginning they didn’t get
along as Mark wanted nothing to do work while Thulin had something to prove to
her superiors. I doubt that this will become a series, but I wouldn’t say no to
a series with those two!
What an awesome ending!!! It left me
wanting more which is always a great sign of a good ending! If you want a book full of suspense and tension,
this is for you!
A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen.
His calling card is a “chestnut man”—a handmade doll made of
matchsticks and two chestnuts—which he leaves at each bloody crime scene
Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery—a
fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister’s daughter who had
been kidnapped and murdered a year ago.
A tragic coincidence—or something more twisted?
To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside
their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man’s gruesome clues.
Because it’s clear that the madman is on a mission that is
far from over.
And no one is safe.
