Entertaining, but a Little too descriptive
The plot gets carried away and our main character is such a repeated punching bag that it’s hard to balance the scientific realism with the lack of believable violence.
I found it very interesting and a good example of the way manygovernemnt organizations fail children that are in harms way with their parents.
I didn’t give 5 stars only because I figured out the Who Done It fairly early. Having said that, still enjoyed the book.
Thought provoking.
Great police work with plenty of surprises. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
Very intriguing!
I usually am not fond of mysteries set in other countries but this was delightful. I njoyed learning the police lingo of the Scandinavian setting. The ending was good and the characters were well developed.
I loved this book! I wish more of her Daniel Trokic series were translated into English. It kept me guessing.

Awesome..keep them coming
Murder mystery that flows well and insight into the character of the various parties are well developed.
I like the two main characters.
Really suspenseful – kept me up at night reading to see what happened next. Upon completing this book, I immediately bought Under a Black Sky. Look forward to reading more of Inger Wolf’s books.
Well- written, with a story line that keeps the reader’s interest.
