Frost and Ashes is the second book in the bestselling Scandinavian mystery series by Award-winning author Inger Wolf.more
I enjoyed reading this book. Very clean language.
I liked the detective and his background story in the novel of a murdered boy. But it turned out to be about child sexual abuse with graphic descriptions. Not at all my cup of tea.
I enjoyed this Danish mystery with a near plausible plot
Great read! Picked it up and couldn’t put it down!!
this is the second book I have read from this author and I enjoyed both will definitely read more!
I just finished this book. I enjoyed it very much. It was hard to put down.
When a young boy is found murdered and his body deposited in an icy creek, Danish Detective Daniel Trokic and his team spring into action. Their investigation takes them into a dark and disturbing world. Trokic is interesting and believable and overall his team is likable. A little repittious and too much about what they eat and drink but overall suspenseful reading.
Starts slow but gets better and is quite a good read.
Good read about things that children endure .
This book gave me a bit of a look into a culture I am not familiar with. In addition to being entertaining (in spite of it’s sad subject) it was also educational.
Wonderful Danish location and interesting procedural. The crimes were difficult to read about. The foreign backstory of the policeman was a distraction from the crime story.
Inger Wolf is another great Scandinavian author. I hated to stop reading but had to to go to work, eat . . .
Sorry, but this was not one of my favorite books. It ran slowly, and the main character was rather weird. Almost too many characters to keep up with, also.
Steller!
This book (and the series) won’t be for everyone. First, it’s from the Danish so you have to be interested in how things work there and the gloom that seems to envelope that country and it’s literature. Characters and the countryside are interesting. A bit too much filler time spent driving here and there. Not great literature but they hold my interest and I finished them all.
Slow reading. Did not enjoy it
