About this listen
The first in an exciting new series from the author of The Silence of the Sea, winner of the 2015 Petrona Award for best Scandinavian crime novel.
The only witness to a shocking murder is the victim's 10-year-old daughter, Margret. The police turn to the Children's House for their expertise in childhood trauma.
The manager, Freyja, doesn't much like the police - especially the detective in charge, Huldar. But she does want to help them protect Margret.
And when more people die - their murders heralded by strange messages, texts, and strings of numbers - they will have to work together to crack the riddle before they become targets themselves.

More great
I really enjoyed this though the murders were gruesome. Along the lines of another great Scandinavian detective Harry Hole from Jo Nesbo. Huldar has similar foibles but not as clever as Harry Hole on this performance. Some great twists however also well narrated.

Omg!
A bit grizzly at first...it certainly played on my mind. But what a well-told and compelling story! I loved the way it tied together. I guessed some bits but not all- just the way I like it. I can’t wait for the next book!

Well read.
Slightly ponderous storyline- too many coincidences. Although some good characters. Maybe otherbooks in the series will be better ? I may try one more. Well read by Lucy Paterson.

Avery good read
A really good read. Some original touches and well developed characters with more complexity than the average crime novel

Loved the book excellent storyline, had me guessing until near the end which for me is not usually as I usually suspect out quickly. Worth a credit.
Narrator good.

A bit grisly but clever
Liked this book though it took a while for anything to make sense! The murders were a little too much for my imagination but the plot was clever and twisty.

Good start
I really enjoyed this book even though I wasn’t sure at first as I bought it as a two for one offer.
The story was good and kept you listening. The narrator was excellent too. I would definitely listen to another book by this author.

Rather tell not show
The plot is interesting and unusual but the actual text is a bit pedestrian, with too much explanation for my taste. The narrator does a good job and keeps the pace up, which is a relief as the writing is plodding at times.
