Chief Inspector William Wisting once again has to deal with many loose ends that he believes somehow belong together. But he still has to convince others of this, which is sometimes difficult as other police departments are involved in solving a drug case with some of his suspects. To make matters worse, his daughter Line is also dragged into the whole mess and, as a father, he fears the worst.
Several summer houses by the sea have been broken into and all the electronic equipment has been stolen. A dead body was found by a neighbour. Instead of being taken to the coroner's office, the body mysteriously disappears. Soon two more dead bodies are found.
Line moves into one of the summer houses because she wants her boyfriend to leave her flat and find something of his own. But this boyfriend is also a business partner of a well-known drug dealer.
Wisting's investigation shuttles between Norway and Lithuania. Every time he senses a breakthrough, a different loose end begins to give him a headache.
The story is written in a very exciting way and only at the very end are all the loose ends tied up. ( )

It all started with burglaries in remote summer cottages in Norway. One resulted in a murder. It expanded to include drug smuggling from Eastern Europe. What I liked about this book, the 5th or so book in the William Wising series was a two page intro introducing the main characters and what has happened in the past. So, if you start in the middle of the book, you're not lost.

The book was good, not great. I liked the characters although I kept getting mixed up on names. The plot was satisfying. I don't know why I'm only giving it a 3 other than I wasn't truly invested in the book, I guess.

There are better Nordic Noir books to sink your teeth into. ( )

One too many plot doinks for me, although likeable characters. E.g how can you be scared to death and leave your car doors unlocked? ( )

This book woven a few plots together with twist and turn. William Wisting remains sturdy anchor throughout. ( )

A book, a thriller like I like to read them. Interesting, with a quite complicated case, a solution that's not obvious akready when I'm half way. It was no problem to start with this book, even though it's not the first in the series.
I will happily continue with the rest of the books (in translation). ( )
