Many thanks to NetGalley and Gallery/Scout Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the Korner and Werner series finale by Katrine Engberg - 4.5 stars!
A body cut in half is found in a suitcase in Copenhagen. Anette Werner is the lead investigator and she is missing her partner, Jeppe Korner, who is on leave, nursing a broken heart, and is working as a logger for the winter on the island of Bornholm. Also on the island is Jeppe's friend, Esther, who is working on a biography of one of the island's former inhabitants. Anette's investigation starts pointing towards happenings on Bornholm and she asks Jeppe to do some investigating.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series - while The Sanctuary can be read as a stand alone, it's much better going into it with all the characters' backgrounds and relationships in mind. This was a gruesome crime, as seems to be par for the course with Scandinavian crime novels, but is offset by the mystery and relationships, especially Jeppe's with his neighbor. A fine police procedural series and this was a wonderful sendoff to these characters!
