Summary
Guilty. One word on a beggar’s cardboard sign. Now, he is dead, stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls her ex lover DI Henrik Jungersen. As, inevitably, old passions are rekindled, so are old regrets, and that is just the start of Jensen’s troubles. The front page is an open goal, but nothing feels right. When a third body turns up, it seems certain that a serial killer is on the loose. But why pick on the homeless? Is the link to an old murder case just a coincidence? With her teenage apprentice, Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty.

Lots of twists and turns.
Lots of twists and turns and well worth the read! A smart determined journalist who doesn’t back down. Highly recommended

fantastic scandi noir - loved it
This Copenhagen based murder mystery was a compulsive listen with lots of twists and turns and kept me guessing to the end. Amsinck writes beautifully, instilling a creepy atmosphere whilst conjuring up a vivid picture of her home city. Jensen is a captivating and unusual female protagonist - I am genuinely intrigued by her and hope this is the first of many books so I can get to know her more. she is supported by an unusually strong cast of characters, all very well developed and interesting in their own right. All in all a superb debut novel - highly recommend if you want an intelligent and beautifully crafted detective story. Oh, and McInnerny's narration is absolutely spot on .

Story undermined by narration
The narrator's reading voice is pleasant. When he gets into character, the voice is dreadful, especially for Jensen. This massively distracted from the story which was OK, but I wouldn't read another by this author

Great story
Nothing to dislike. Great narration, good story. Excellent description of life in Copenhagen and the lives of police and journalists.

Stupid people being stupid
So the main character is a hotshot journalist except that she’s a shit journalist who can’t write the biggest story she’s ever come across and her colleagues have to support her. Her boss gives her way more chances than she ever deserves and asks her to look after a teenage boy. Her love life is rubbish because she only shags married men who are utterly charmless and yet everyone seems charmed by her. I’m afraid I wasn’t much more impressed by the narrator. It took time for the female leads voice and accent to settle in one place and generally his women were a hard listen.

An excellent listen
A really well structured crime novel with expertly crafter characters that you form affinity’s for very quickly. Really enjoyable for something to be set in a city that isn’t London or New York etc
Cannot wait for more adventures of Jensen

Enjoyable
First time reading this author. Enjoyed the book. The plot was good and the characters interesting, though somewhat lacking in charm. Nice twist at the end.

Not a great narration
Why does the main character need to sleep with married men who sleeps with anyone. Overshadows the whole story. Could be so much better. And the narration of the different voices is quite painful and unnecessary.

Weak story telling
I think it’s old fashioned and unimaginative to introduce an animal just so it can be brutally killed to help the story. Try harder author. I switched off and don’t care what happens next

a bit different, refreshing.
Great story, with different angle with a light touch. Well read. Hope Heidi writes more?
