It’s a pretty good mystery novel. Hunting a serial killer who leaves a creepy AF calling card. I liked the book, but I would have probably liked it more if I understood more about the European style of policing. Some of that didn’t make sense to me. Also, I’m not sure if the author just hated minorities or if that’s just how people from denmark talk about Muslims who live there? Seems a little racist to me. Overall a fairly gripping story.
