👀 W A T C H F U L W E D N E S D A Y review 👀 featuring “The Katharina Code” by Jorn Lier Horst!

BOOK REVIEW: 🖤🖤🖤🖤/5

For twenty four years, Chief Inspector William Wisting revisits one of his unsolved cold cases on the October 9th anniversary date.

Katharina Haugen mysteriously disappeared one night leaving behind a note containing random scribbled strings of numbers. The code was never cracked and Katharina was never found. Each year Wisting goes over his old case notes to see if he can catch anything new and also pays a visit to Katharina’s husband Martin who he could never provide closure to.

But this year is different because Martin is missing … and so is another woman. There was a lot of scrutiny over Martin being responsible for his wife’s disappearance all those years back. His name was cleared … but something has never sat right with Wisting 🤔 …

🚨 This is a new to me nordic noir writer and I really enjoyed this book! Such a solid police procedural written by a former Norwegian Police Detective! Definitely someone to keep an eye out for if you love Nordic noirs like me!

Thank you kindly to @wisting.jornlierhorst @simonschusterca @netgalley for my #gifted digital copy in exchange for my honest review! This book releases on January 21, 2025!
