Summary
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.

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

Decent entertainment
An entertaining listen. Narration was a little strange at times, some Icelanders spoke with Aussie / Essex accents for inexplicable reasons.

better than most
in a genre that is over crowded and becoming a bit stale, this was sufficiently well told to keep interest & suspense to the end, without actually breaking new ground

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.
