If you do this - be warned - three women in the book are named Nete (Pronounced Nita), Rita, and Gitta (rhymes with the other two)...so but for the first letter - the names sound identical - which took me a bit to get comfortable with and caused some confusion in the beginning. Enjoyed it - Assad is fleshed out a teensy bit more, and Rose's character gets more back story. Half of these is - for me, anyway - is the enjoyment of the characters. The other half is the mystery. Enjoyed this one so much that I immediately jumped into the next book in the series when I finished this one. no reviews | add a review

HTML: In 1987, Nete Hermansen plans revenge on those who abused her in her youth, including Curt Wad, a charismatic surgeon who was part of a movement to sterilize wayward girls in 1950s Denmark. More than twenty years later, Detective Carl Morck is presented with the case of a brothel owner, a woman named Rita, who went missing in the eighties. But when Carl's assistants learn that numerous other people disappeared around the same weekend as Rita, Carl takes notice. As they sift through the disappearances, they get closer and closer to Curt Wad, who is more determined than ever to see the vision of his youth take hold and whose brutal treatment of Nete and others like her is only one small part of his capacity for evil. .No library descriptions found. |
