Description
The Forgotten Girls
The body of an unidentified woman has been discovered in a remote forest. A large, unique scar on one side of her face should make the identification easy, but nobody has reported her missing. Louise Rick, the new commander of the Missing Persons Department, waits four long days before pulling off a risky move: Releasing a photo of the victim to the media, jeopardizing the integrity of the investigation in hopes of finding anyone who knew her. The gamble pays off when a woman recognizes the victim as Lisemette, a child she cared for in the state mental institution many years ago. Lisemette was a "forgotten girl", abandoned by her family and left behind in the institution.
But Louise soon discovers something even more disturbing: Lisemette had a twin, and both girls were issued death certificates more than 30 years ago. Louise's investigation takes a surprising when it brings her closer to her childhood home. And as she uncovers more crimes that were committed - and hidden - in the forest, she is forced to confront a terrible link to her own past that has been carefully concealed.
Set against a moody and atmospheric landscape, The Forgotten Girls is twisty, suspenseful, emotionally intense novel that secures Sara Blaedel's place in the pantheon of great thriller writers.

Disappointing
This book came highly suggested in a list of best Nordic noir books of 2017 and it doesn’t measure up. Parts of the story were interesting but it frequently fell into tired tropes of female protagonists. I won’t spoil it but it’s hardly original. I also couldn’t shake the feeling that her new partner was a washed up Harry Hole, which was a bit distracting. Several plot lines had no purpose or follow through such as the one with the protagonist’s best friend who decided to solve a mystery that is the central plot to get away from relationship troubles. Not only does she not solve it, get her journalist job back or play any role at all in the final outcome, she spends the rest of the story being a ridiculous Bechtel Test case in point. No development at all on the main character’s sidekick and no reason his relationship with her so dramatically advances.
The narrator read these Danish characters and place names in regional American accents - several Danish cops with southern drawls, one police staff who had a ridiculous 1950s American secretary voice and a character with an Irish accent and a clearly Danish history. Really unfortunate.
