This is the first of The William Wisting series I have read, and the first of Jørn Lier Horst’s books in fact.
I really enjoy cold cases, as the detectives look back over something they have read a thousand times before to find a new clue. This one is especially interesting as William is now friends with the husband of the missing woman, and has been for years. His struggle between being a detective and being a friend was fascinating.
I loved reading the different points of view, from William as a detective, and his daughter Lina as a journalist and podcaster. The addition of having a podcast being made felt very relevant right now, as more and more true crime podcasts are being made due to everyone’s fascination with the true crime genre.
A great story, and I will definitely be going back to read more from this series.
