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.

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!
