Many thanks to NetGalley and Gallery/Scout Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this second in the Korner/Werner Danish police procedural series by Katrine Engberg - 5 stars for a great book that leaves me anxious for the next ones to be translated into English!
This book finds Anette Werner home on maternity leave - struggling with her new baby and missing her old life, including her job as detective. Her partner, Jeppe Korner, is temporarily living with his mom after his divorce and secretly dating a coworker, Sara. The team is thrust into a series of horrific murders - three bodies bled out and left in fountains to die. Their investigations lead them to look at The Butterfly House, a residential home for the treatment of mentally-disturbed teenagers.
There are so many different suspects in this book - I questioned everyone and was still surprised at the end! I love both of these main characters that we met in The Tenant as well as many of the supporting characters, including another repeat from the first book, Esther. There's a lot going on in this book but the author is very skilled at keeping things flowing with just enough information to keep you guessing. This is a highly recommended series to start reading!
