About this listen

A 2020 Audie Awards winner - mystery

IF YOU FIND ONE, HE’S ALREADY FOUND YOU....

The heart-pounding debut from the creator of the hit Scandinavian television show The Killing.

A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen.

His calling card is a “chestnut man” - a handmade doll made of matchsticks and two chestnuts - which he leaves at each bloody crime scene.

Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery - a fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister’s daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered a year ago.

A tragic coincidence - or something more twisted?

To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man’s gruesome clues.

Because it’s clear that the madman is on a mission that is far from over.

And no one is safe.

great Nordic noir

it's not disappointing as a Nordic Noir, but can be better. characters are well built, the story is well structured and so is the plot. but something is missing

Chilling, Dark

One of the best books I've read in the genre. Not predictable, and truly terrifying. Would highly recommend if you like serial killers and police procedurals.

A great page turner!

It’s rare that I cannot guess who the villain is and this book seriously delivers Viv a fast based exciting storyline. Missed sleepover needing to finish it. Strongly recommend it, definitely worth your credit.
