Synopsis

It's the coldest winter in memory as ex-convict Peter Boutrup moves to remote, rural Denmark to start a new life.

But when a young woman goes missing on New Year's Eve and Peter discovers the body of Ramses, an old acquaintance from prison, things start to unravel.

Two days after the disappearance the body of a young girl is found in the harbour - she is naked, attached to an anchor and her face has been torn off. Is this the body of the missing woman and is it connected with Ramses' murder? And could Peter's strange new neighbour, Felix, be involved?

Peter Boutrup just wants peace and quiet but he must accept that the truth lies hidden in the past he is trying to forget.

Populated by a cast of characters from the underbelly of Danish society, Three Dog Night is a fast paced thriller that paints a picture of a rarely seen side of Denmark.

Goodreads review by Helen on August 29, 2018

I loved the (mostly broken) characters and the plot. All the intricacies of the interrealations between them are finely spun, perfectly elaborated. Plus, while reading this winterly murder mystery, there was quite a scorcher outside. So it was also refreshing to read about the lower degrees. ;)......more

i really enjoyed this! I picked it up because I enjoyed the Dicte series which she also wrote, but sadly those aren’t translated. This kept me guessing.......more

Goodreads review by Dagmar on October 01, 2021

Bogen startede ret forvirrende ud, da det var som om det var en fortsættelse af en serie, selvom det er den første bog i en serie. Så det var som om man manglede noget information i denne bog, hvis man, som i mit tilfælde, ikke har læst serien om Dicte. Længere inde i bogen begyndte den at blive lid......more
