2 posts | 5 read | 11 to read
From the Nordic noir duo who brought you The New York Times bestseller The Boy in the Suitcase comes a chilling new thriller with a mystery seventy-years in the making. Nina. Natasha. Olga. Three women united by one terrifying secret. But only one of them has killed to keep it. Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainian woman who has been convicted for the attempted murder of her Danish ex-fianc, escapes police custody on her way to an interrogation in Copenhagens police headquarters. That same night, the ex-fiancs frozen, tortured body is found in a car. It isnt the first time the young Ukrainian woman has lost a partner to violent ends: her first husband was murdered three years earlier in Kiev in the same manner. Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg has followed Natashas case for years now, ever since Natasha first took refuge at her crisis center. Nina just cant see the young mother as a vicious killer. But in her effort to protect Natashas daughter and discover the truth, Nina realizes there is much she didnt know about Natasha and her past. The mystery has long and bloody roots, going back to a terrible famine that devastated Stalinist Ukraine in 1934, when a ten-year-old girl with the voice of a nightingale sang her family into shallow graves. From the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

I liked the book, I really did, but found the plot confusing at time. The characters were Ukrainian and Swedish so the names of people and places were hard to keep straight. This book is part of a series about a nurse-aide worker who gets involved with the people she tries to help.
