In looking at who is who, in this story, I would say that Chief Constable Margrethe Dybbøl was more of a character than Liam Starker or Dea Torp, although everyone was important Dybbøl had her daughter kidnapped during her tenure. Terrible things happened to Liam, his wife filed for divorce and he ended up getting shot. Dea was told by her lover, Rolf that they were over and ended up in an hot oven an then in the hospital with 1st degree burns, 2nd degree burns and 3rd degree burns. Sara and Mads made everything interesting with trying to figure out who was killing all these people. Finally you figured out who was the killer when they finally showed who the killer was. You can read the story and find this out for yourself and see if it fits Scandinavian noir.

Another excellent entry by a Danish author I enjoy reading very much. A complicated case or I should say cases, with the mixture of human emotions and the intricacies of police work. A very detailed explanation of the effects of cyber bullying and in intransigence of activists with fatal results.

Did I mention the perpetrator in this narrative? Oh, I didn’t see this one coming!

Highly recommended!
