About this listen

 It's the coldest winter in memory as ex-convict Peter Boutrup moves to remote, rural Denmark to start a new life.

But when a young woman goes missing on New Year's Eve and Peter discovers the body of Ramses, an old acquaintance from prison, things start to unravel.

Two days after the disappearance the body of a young girl is found in the harbour - she is naked, attached to an anchor and her face has been torn off. Is this the body of the missing woman and is it connected with Ramses' murder? And could Peter's strange new neighbour, Felix, be involved?

Peter Boutrup just wants peace and quiet but he must accept that the truth lies hidden in the past he is trying to forget.

Populated by a cast of characters from the underbelly of Danish society, Three Dog Night is a fast paced thriller that paints a picture of a rarely seen side of Denmark.

Critic reviews

Egholm is a better storyteller than most other female crime writers ... It's thrilling and brutal
Add to this the supple language and the evocative descriptions of beauty as well as ugliness on Djursland, and the result is a highly recommended, bleak and captivating crime novel
Both plot and characters go full throttle ... How it all connects is both surprising and imaginative
The story is captivating and well told. The book has some cleverly turned twists in a focused narrative where the expected truths emerge during the dramatical final stand-off
All stars

What made the experience of listening to Three Dog Night the most enjoyable?

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and narration. The characters kept me engaged all then way through without turning into stereotypes. I will look forward to listening to her next offering.

A good addition to the Nordic Noir genre

This book is the best thing I've read since Stieg Larsson. It has complex characters inhabiting the fringes of society, an intriguing plot and is well written and translated. The narration is faultless. I did not want this to end and I sincerely hope that Audible will quickly publish the remaining books written by the outstanding Elsebeth Egholm.
I discovered that Ms Egholm was married to AJ Quinnell another author which Audible could do well to publish - ideally narrated by Sean Barrett!
