About this listen

In this crime drama, detective Varg Veum's adventures take him into the world of privileged teenage girls who have been drawn into drugs and prostitution.

The situation worsens when the local judge is found dead in a luxury hotel, clad only in women's lingerie. Called in by anxious parents to look for a missing daughter and explain the judge's death, Varg is led deep into Bergen's criminal underworld.

Interesting twist

Story is pretty good with an interesting twist.
Narration is a touch bizarre with strange northern English accents instead of Norwegian

Needlessly constantly derogatory to women

Derogatory descriptives for female genitalia such as like a gaping bloodhound's muzzle, or a trussed chicken.

This guy does not like women.

Very offputting.
