The Vanished | Lotte Hammer, SÃ ?ren Hammer
4 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
Lying at the bottom of his apartment stairs, a postman is found dead. At first glance, his death appears to be a tragic accident. However, when Detective Superintendent Konrad Simonsen is called to investigate, he notices that something doesn't add up. Did he fall? When life-sized images of a vanished girl are discovered plastering the walls of the dead man's attic, the case takes a new and sinister turn. Who is she? Could she be alive? Soon the homicide team find themselves delving into the past, but as they approach the truth, Simonsen is forced to confront long-hidden skeletons in his own cupboard.

I decided to set this one down for a bit. I'm having a hard time getting into the writing style, and I definitely hope to try again soon, but for now I prefer to take a break from it! #crimefiction

My ONE qualm with this book so far: the writing is pretty choppy. That might be an issue with translation, or perhaps a result of the book having 2 authors? Or it could just be the book's style. I am very interested in the story's central case so I'm reading on happily, BUT I hope I get into the groove with this book soon! #crimefiction

Less than 50 pgs in, but fully absorbed in this police procedural already. This one has all the hallmarks of a piece of Nordic noir that I'm destined to love: it starts with a shocking act of violence, and promises a complex plot with a sharp eye for investigative details.
