This is an outstanding mystery. It takes some getting used to at first if you aren't familiar with Denmark (and I am not). However, it grabbed me right away and I enjoyed the journey. I didn't figure out the killer although I suspected briefly. I like the quirky investigative team and I hope to see more of them. There are some loathsome characters along the way as well. The best thing of all is the ending. I loved it!
A serial killer of children is terrorizing Copenhagen. He leaves a matchstick doll with 2 chestnuts at the bloody crime scenes. He is known as The Chestnut Man. A fingerprint of a government minister's daughter who has been kidnapped and murdered is found by forensics. Is there something twisted happening?
This is a haunting and dark story that kept me on the edge of my seat. I love the short chapters but there were 130 of them. The story is long but moves fast. The characters are fascinating and the plot is interesting. The ending was a complete surprise. I would recommend this book to those who love mystery thrillers and I look forward to the author's next book.

Interesting thriller. I did enjoy this book but my rating reflects that almost every man in this book is disgusting. Except MC Hess and even he's a bit on the sexist side. The bad guy was obvious about halfway through the book. The red herrings didn't make much sense and seemed to be thrown in to try to trip you up. Overall though I would recommend this book.
