About this listen
A Sunday Times Crime Club Star Pick. From the million-copy author of the Scandinavian sensation Victim Without a Face.
On the coldest day of the year, Sweden's Minister for Justice steps into a blizzard – and disappears. Who has taken him? That same night, across the Baltic Sea, a Danish celebrity is at her home, locked in and cut off from the snow. Then she hears footsteps in her living room. Who is in her house? The police are soon hunting two different murderers. One is a surgeon who carefully dissects his victims. The other is a brutal predator who targets random women. Police in Stockholm and Copenhagen are closing in on their suspects. But as winter darkens and more people die, their investigations begin to unravel.

"Atmospheric and complicated...with great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps." (Sunday Times)
"A gripping page-turner of the highest order." (C. J. Box.)

Good and not so good
It’s a good story but far too many characters, at points of it I had no clue what was going on. Dozens of police , dozens of victims, stacks of perpetrators. The narrator, who’s voice I actually liked for some unknown reason chose to use a Scottish accent, a Belfast accent, a Geordie accent and a London accent even though the book was set in Denmark and Sweden plus a bit of Israel. It wasn’t until the last 1/3 of the book that I figured out who was who. But I kept going to the end as I’d got used to the style. Defo worth a listen even with the downsides

Really good start to the series
Despite the title of this review, I'm going to confess to listening to this out of turn (after the first 2) but I'm very glad I did as it made more sense of the complicated backstory. I'm now completely hooked and looking forward to what comes next. I've seen reviews questioning why the narrator chooses Irish accents for the Danes, but once you tune in to the idea it really helps you understand which police force is at work and where the action is taking place. I've heard the same technique used elsewhere and it didn't bother me at all, in fact I like it! I would strongly recommend this series! Well done to both writer and narrator. Keep it up!!

Good story
The narrator's strange pronunciation of certain words kept distracting me from the story. Otherwise a good story

Not for me
I am an avid book reader and it is not very often that I want a book to end... I found this book disjointed, full of holes in the plot and totally rubbish... however, i had to finish it out of sheer desperation. I have not read any of Stefan Ahnhem's books before and I was guided by a review... I will not be reading any more of his work.

Sorry had to stop listening because of the silly accents. The books after this are okay
