3.4.2016 - The Forgotten Girls

 The Forgotten Girls by Sara Blaedel

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

I didn't realize that this was a series of books set in Denmark involving a detective, Louise Rick. While you may have had a little more background and clarity if you had read the previous books, it was still thoroughly enjoyable as a stand alone.

Louise has just been assigned as a manger of a new department that investigates the hundreds of people who are reported missing yearly in Denmark. A woman's body is discovered with no clues and no identity. When they finally identify the woman, she has been declared dead.

Thus opens an investigation into mental asylums as well as into a part of Louise's past that she was hoping to leave in the past.

This is a good mystery but contains many disturbing scenes and descriptions of abuse. I enjoyed the book and would be interested in going back and starting the series from the beginning as well as reading future stories.
