Description
“Dark deeds and deep secrets abound in Heidi Amsinck’s Copenhagen. A white-knuckle ride into hell.” Ian Rankin
A missing child ... a tainted witness ... Jensen's darkest case yet …
Matilde Clausen, 9, vanishes from a crowded playground in the middle of Copenhagen, triggering a frantic search across the city. When a link emerges to the disappearance of Lea Høgh, aged 10, six years ago, DI Henrik Jungersen is thrown back into the nightmare that almost finished his career.
Desperate for redemption, but barred from reopening the old case, Henrik turns to his estranged lover, Dagbladet chief crime reporter Jensen, for help. As the investigation reaches deep into Denmark’s underworld, how will Henrik, Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav manage to escape the darkness that threatens to engulf them, in time to solve the mystery? What really happened to Lea? And where on earth is Matilde?

I wasn’t sure I would like this book when I started reading. Yes, it’s a new Scandinavian series that I just came across, so that was a plus. I found myself not relating to the characters at first and I believe that was because this book was #4 in the series. I just didn’t know the backstory of those involved. But, the story itself, was good if a little choppy and kept my interest going. Although the subject matter is dark, the ending may surprise you.
I plan on reading the rest of the series. Recommended!
