The Cabin by Jørn Lier HorstMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My thanks to Penguin UK - Michael Joseph for the opportunity to read an advance copy of The Cabin by Jørn Lier Horst, the second book in The Cold Case Quartet. I had previously read The Katharina Code, the first in the series, so had some idea what to expect. A lengthy, slow burner of Norwegian noir in which Chief Inspector William Wisting once again is called upon to investigate a cold case that goes back to 2003. It's been fifteen years since Simon Meier walked out of his house, never to be seen again. And just one day since politician Bernard Clausen was found dead at his cabin on the Norwegian coast. Is there a possible link here? Could both events be linked to a heist of foreign currency worth some 80 million kroner at today's values?
The story unfolds layer by layer as Wisting and his team, including his daughter Line, seek to unravel the complexities of these old events.
This is another superbly plotted tale with perfect characterisation and highly believable day-to-day details of police procedures.
