n the middle of a hard-won morning nap in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague working on the Danish island of Bornholm. Carl is dismissive at first, but then he receives some shocking news. Carl then has no choice but to lead Department Q into the tragic cold case of a vivacious seventeen-year-old girl who vanished from school, only to be found dead hanging high up in a tree.

The investigation will take them from the remote island of Bornholm to a hidden cult, where Carl and his assistants must stop a string of new murders by a skilled manipulator who refuses to let anything-or anyone-get in the way.

Gripping

After feeling a bit let down by the previous two books in the series, I was pleasantly surprised by how gripping this one turned out to be—it truly had me hooked!

That said, one thing that continues to bother me about the series is how the culprits’ stories end. Their fates often feel a bit underwhelming—either they escape, or meet their end in a way that’s surprisingly uneventful, or sometimes both. Considering how dark and brutal their actions often are, I find myself wishing for a more fitting resolution—something that really delivers a sense of justice.
