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.

The thing that really made this book was the excellent narration by Lucy Patterson. She managed to portray each character in a genuine and sympathetic manner. I managed to guess who the murderer was about two thirds of the way through but couldn't work out why, the twist at the end was really quite clever.

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.

Good start
