The Torso
The Torso | Helene Tursten, Katarina Emilie Tucker
4 posts | 7 read
Part of a human torso washes up on a beach near Gothenburg, Sweden, so mutilated that its gender can only be established by DNA testing. A similar crime remains unsolved in Denmark. Detective Inspector Irene Huss is dispatched to Copenhagen to liaise with the police. A third and a fourth victim are discovered, both of them known to Huss. She fears the killer is tracking her, killing people with whom she is connected.

So refreshing to have a protagonist with a normal life -- a chef husband, two teenaged daughters -- that isn't used as a pressure point by the bad guys and still be able to provide an eventful, tension-filled story.

Also I love the colorful spines on the Soho Crime books!

Note: don't use mystery novels as travel guides 😉. Full quote: The author would like to emphasize that the book cannot be used as a tourist guide in either Copenhagen or Goteberg. Streets, alleys, squares, and other places are used with great freedom. In addition, none of the characters are deliberately based on real persons.

Perfect start to the weekend - finishing this book. And then, tonight, watching the Swedish tv series based on these books. They're really good I highly recommend both books and DVD! Edited 2/28 - this is the picture I meant to include. Fiction isn't meant to be a travel guide!
