Norwegian noir detective thriller which is a slow-burner but nicely conceived

The Katharina Code - Jorn Lier Horst

 

 

This novel involves Inspector William Wisting working on cold cases about two separate disappearances of young women. An investigation is opened which uncovers new evidence leading to revelations and those responsible. The plot slowly unwinds and it also involves Witting's journalist daughter, Line, doing her own investigating. The characters are well-developed and the concept is reasonably original.

 

Recommended to all lovers of detective fiction, I read it over a few days. Well worthwhile. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
