Many thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for gifting me an audiobook of this Scandinavian thriller by Anne Mette Hancock and narrated by Laura Jennings - 4 stars!
Journalist Heloise Kaldan is becoming even more wary of trusting people when one of her sources is caught lying. Barely holding onto her job, she begins receiving letters from Anna Kiel, a young woman who is wanted for the brutal murder of a young lawyer. She hasn't been seen since and the police have no leads. While investigating the death of a retired journalist, homicide detective Erik Schafer soon realizes that there are connections between both Heloise and Anna that no one can yet explain. Heloise continues investigating Anna and realizes that her past is also at play and could be a connection.
This book is being described as similar to The Dragon Tattoo series and it's an apt comparison. There are strong women characters trying to right wrongs in their own way. It's a dark tale but a solid police procedural with intriguing characters and lots of twists and turns. The narrator did a great job voicing all the different people and was very easy to follow. This is the first in a series to be translated into English; I hope that more will follow because I would love to catch up with these characters again!
