Sometimes you read a book and just think, this was alright, but I just didn’t love it. There’s no real rhyme or reason, It’s just okay. That is how I felt about this book. I didn’t love or hate it. I didn’t really feel anything towards it. It was interesting but hard to get into. Every time I stopped reading, it took awhile to get back into the world that Engberg created. I wanted to like it more but I just didn’t connect with it.

2nd book in this series (US).  Wonderful story set with a nod to multiple places around Copehagen/Denmark.  The look at mental health and relationships made this even more interesting than the first book.  Enjoyed how she developed the characters in this book--characters from the first book play a big part of this book also.
