Guilty. One word on a beggar’s cardboard sign. And now he is dead, stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls her ex lover DI Henrik Jungersen. As, inevitably, old passions are rekindled, so are old regrets, and that is just the start of Jensen’s troubles. The front page is an open goal, but nothing feels right. When a third body turns up, it seems certain that a serial killer is on the loose. But why pick on the homeless? And is the link to an old murder case just a coincidence? With her teenage apprentice Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty.

A really well structured crime novel with expertly crafter characters that you form affinity’s for very quickly. Really enjoyable for something to be set in a city that isn’t London or New York etc
Cannot wait for more adventures of Jensen

An excellent listen

I think it’s old fashioned and unimaginative to introduce an animal just so it can be brutally killed to help the story. Try harder author. I switched off and don’t care what happens next

Weak story telling

Lots of twists and turns and well worth the read! A smart determined journalist who doesn’t back down. Highly recommended

This Copenhagen based murder mystery was a compulsive listen with lots of twists and turns and kept me guessing to the end. Amsinck writes beautifully, instilling a creepy atmosphere whilst conjuring up a vivid picture of her home city. Jensen is a captivating and unusual female protagonist - I am genuinely intrigued by her and hope this is the first of many books so I can get to know her more. she is supported by an unusually strong cast of characters, all very well developed and interesting in their own right. All in all a superb debut novel - highly recommend if you want an intelligent and beautifully crafted detective story. Oh, and McInnerny's narration is absolutely spot on .

fantastic scandi noir - loved it
