4+ stars -- Described as
Nordic crime fiction, this is the best thriller I've read in ages.
Quickly hooked, I could not put it down as I was introduced to Nina
Borg, a Red Cross nurse who works in a camp for refugees and other
desperate people. Nina is a middle-aged mother of two and wife to a man
who finds her behavior often inexplicable. She has a history of rushing
off to "save" people and immediately answers a call for help from her
former best friend Karin. Karin gives Nina a key to a locker in the
Copenhagen train station and when Nina lugs the heavy suitcase to her
car and opens it to find an unconscious 3-year-old boy, the chills
begin. Who put this child in the case and why -- just the first of many
questions that Nina tries to answer as the other characters come into
the action and the teasers to explain motivation. Loved it!
Recommend
to anyone looking for a suspenseful and gripping read. This was the
first in a new series and I'm off now to start the second book.
