Fiction. Mystery. HTML:From the Nordic noir duo who brought you The New York Times bestseller The Boy in the Suitcase comes a chilling new thriller with a mystery seventy-years in the making.

Nina. Natasha. Olga. Three women united by one terrifying secret. But only one of them has killed to keep it.

Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainian woman who has been convicted for the attempted murder of her Danish ex-fiancé, escapes police custody on her way to an interrogation in Copenhagen's police headquarters. That same night, the ex-fiancé's frozen, tortured body is found in a car. It isn't the first time the young Ukrainian woman has lost a partner to violent ends: her first husband was murdered three years earlier in Kiev in the same manner.

Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg has followed Natasha's case for years now, ever since Natasha first took refuge at her crisis center. Nina just can't see the young mother as a vicious killer. But in her effort to protect Natasha's daughter and discover the truth, Nina realizes there is much she didn't know about Natasha and her past. The mystery has long and bloody roots, going back to a terrible famine that devastated Stalinist Ukraine in 1934, when a ten-year-old girl with the voice of a nightingale sang her family into shallow graves.

I like the way the books are tied together. The balance here could've been better, the time spent on the historical plotline doesn't pay off in the present. ( )

Another winner from Lene Kaaberbol - great book, and well-done audiobook.

The Nina Borg series is exceptional in the way the author weaves together several stories from different parts of the world that are seemingly unrelated, but all come together in unexpected ways.

Nina Borg is a nurse, but a lot more. Her main flaw is that she can't refuse to help people in need, much to the detriment of her life and those around her, especially her husband and children. Her problem is that she helps those who nobody else wants to have anything to do with, such as refugees from Ukraine, etc. Unfortunately, sometimes these people are refugees because someone is looking to harm them and anyone in the way.

This book is really a continuation from the previous one, so it would be a good idea to read it first, but it's probably not necessary. But you should read them all, so might as well start from the beginning. :-)

Weakest of the three Nina Borg books by the Danish duo of Kaaberbol and Friis. Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainian immigrant,convicted of the attempted murder of her Danish fiancé, escapes police custody on her way to police headquarters in Copenhagen. The Ukranian secret police are after her, and Natasha tries to get to her daughter Rina, who is under Nina's care. There is a second plot in the Ukraine during the 1930s, which seems pretty pointless, even when its relevance is finally revealed. Disappointing: 2.5 stars. ( )

Jag har gillat de två första böckerna i serien om Nina Borg men den här föll mig inte i smaken. Den känns oengagerad och rörig. Jag kommer inte heller in i karaktärerna i denna bok. ( )

This one was not nearly as good as the first two books in this series, for three reasons.

First, while the story is part of the Nina Borg series, and she's a character in this book, she really had no part of the plot. She's in many scenes, but surprisingly, Nina Borg really did nothing to move the story along. This book could have been written without her and it still would have worked as well as it did.

Second, the Nina Borg character didn't seem like herself, she was "out of character" with several traits that weren't ever mentioned in the first two books. For example, in this one, she's overly obsessed with time and clock-watching. OCD tendencies also make a dramatic appearance, which also weren't apparent in books 1 and 2. It was very distracting and disappointing.

Thirdly, the back-story took over the book, leaving the main plot by the wayside. The authors use back-stories to great effect in the first two books, but I think they lost sight of the main plot here, and the book suffered for it.

On to the next book! ( )
