Almost 5 stars - I enjoyed this audiobook very much, and liked the narrator much better than the first one of the series.

This series is a pretty dark police mystery, starting off with a person being hunted by a group of people with various deadly weapons. Like the first one, we don't really know who it is, or the context until late in the book, but I guess it's done that way to let you know right away that there will be violence. And there is. Along with a large number of psychotics from all walks of life. In fact, it's pretty hard to believe there are this many murderous psychos at one time in a place like Holland. Probably not, but it makes for pretty exciting reading.

If you're a fan of dark fiction, serial killers, police mysteries, etc, you should give this series a try. There is some comic relief in the form of Assad, his assistant from the first book, and a new secretary Rose, who is outspoken but competent, both of which Carl has trouble dealing with at times, especially when she starts buying office furniture.

A finales de los años noventa, la policía encuentra, en una casa de veraneo en el norte de Dinamarca, a dos hermanos adolescentes brutalmente asesinados. Han sido golpeados, torturados y violados sin compasión. La investigación policial apunta a que los culpables pueden hallarse entre un grupo de jóvenes de buena familia, hijos de padres exitosos, ricos, cultos. Sin embargo, el caso se cierra muy pronto por falta de pruebas concluyentes hasta que, pocos años más tarde, uno de los sospechosos se entrega sin razón aparente y confi esa el crimen. Supuestamente, el misterio se ha resuelto. Pero entonces ¿por qué los archivos del caso aparecen veinte años después en el despacho del inspector Carl Mørck, jefe del Departamento Q? Al principio Mørck piensa que el caso está ahí por error, pero pronto se da cuenta de que en la investigación original se cometieron muchas irregularidades…
