Wasn’t particularly fond of this one - too many characters, a lot going on, and random things that happen that are dragged out with little or no meaning in the end.

Ah I was underwhelmed by this one.

The plot was somewhat interesting, but I found it slow and a bit boring at times. It wrapped up nicely, besides the fact that I felt the side-story of the cardiac arrest nurse to be unnecessary.

I personally wasn’t a huge fan of Anette — I get that she was struggling with some weird postpartum stuff but I just found her to handle a lot of things so oddly. I also found the dialogue to be really stilted and awkward most of the book.

It was a fine book, but I wouldn’t read it again or recommend it and have zero interest in the rest of the series.

Well I guess this is the 3rd book in the series but I read this first without knowing…

Anyways…i think this was a good book but wasn’t my favorite. It took me about a month to read because I didn’t want to read/got into some reading slumps but the plot twist didn’t phase me because i didn’t really know who Simon was…the only things that phased me was when Marie has confronted Peter and when Sara told Jeppe that Simon was Pernille’s brother. Other than that it wasn’t an outstanding book like others I have read

I enjoyed this book even more than the first! It's got a little medical drama, a little suspense, and a lot of mystery

This is the third book in the series, but I can't find an English translation for the second book. An exciting premise, if a bit bloody. You have to wait until the end for everything to be tied up in a neat bow. Certainly an enjoyable read. I loved how the motif of mental illness shows up in nearly every character--underlining that mental health is far more crucial and is part of everyone.
