Welcome to Litsy!

#FabulousFebruary continues with the first book in a series featuring DI Axel Steen. Steen investigates a murder that appears to involve members of the police. Steen gave me major Harry Hole vibes (i.e. unorthodox investigative techniques, problem respecting process and authority, personal life in disarray). I had trouble getting into the story, but things really picked up in the last 100 pages. I also loved that it is set in Copenhagen.

There just is an unmistakable difference between American, British and Danish crime novels. After reading Jo Nesbo and Inger Wolf I have developed a taste for Danish novels. Through the eyes of cynical and troubled policemen, you see a different side of the country and what the life of fighting crime does to a person.

Who else loves Danish crime novels?
