Another great murder mystery taking place in lovely Copenhagen! Book starts and closes with a slightly jarring passage. Plenty of red herrings along the way, with a multitude of different characters interacting within their own plot lines. Same cast as in the first book. The only downside to many POVs is that you sometimes get drawn too into one character, and then forget their portion by the time you read about them again. However, the writing is excellent.
