About this listen

When a six-year-old girl is found dead, hanging from a tree, the only clue the Oslo Police have to work with is an airline tag around her neck. It reads, 'I'm travelling alone'.

Holger Munch, veteran police investigator, is immediately charged with reassembling his homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must convince his erstwhile partner, Mia Krüger - a brilliant but troubled investigator - to return from the solitary island where she has retreated with plans to take her own life.

Reviewing the evidence, Mia identifies something no one else has noticed - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number one. Instinctively she knows this is only the beginning. To save other children from the same fate, she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and confront the most terrifying, coldhearted serial killer of her career....

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Very interesting storyline with a few intersecting stories too, this was a book I couldn't stop listening to you. Great imagery of the landscapes and interesting characters! Look forward to another book from the author.

Interesting characters, clean dialogue, intriguing story. A little disjointed at times but overall, a very enjoyable experience.

Intriguing storyline

I gave the story five stars because it really was an intriguing one. What ruined it for me though, was the poor dialogue, made immensely worse by the 'robotic' narration. Perhaps I might have not noticed the endless 'pass the salt', 'how's your father' interactions between the characters if the flat narration had had at least some inflection, I'm really not too sure. And maybe it's just me but I felt a lot of the pronunciations were off too. I'm pretty sure that there are no zzzz's in disappear though. And boy, there certainly was a lot of dizzzzappearing going on in this story. However, nitpicking aside, it's worth a listen, I just couldn't warm to the narration at all.

Could have been so much better

Too many coincidences that just feels like lazy writing, the narrator did an amazing job though.

Great performance and narration but lacking story

Bit drawn out and there seemed to be inside knowledge that didn't get explained. Pretty average I thought.
