The Absent One by Jussi Adler-Olsen
4.0

--Recommended by Connie, Jo and Haley.

Connie's review: Detective Carl Mørck, introduced in The Keeper of Lost Causes, is a brilliant but flawed detective assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen’s coldest cases. When an intriguing case lands on his desk, he finds that the supposedly solved case of the brutal murder of a brother and sister two decades earlier involves a group of privileged former boarding-school students. One of the former students is Kimmie, now a woman living on the streets, who has secrets that influential people would kill to keep buried. Adler-Olsen, Denmark’s #1 crime author, writes a twisty thriller that includes splashes of humor while leaving out excessive graphic details.
