I’m Traveling Alone by Samuel Bjørk
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When the body of a young girl is found hanging from a tree, the only clue the police have is an airline tag around her neck. It reads ‘I’m travelling alone’.In response, police investigator Holger Munch is immediately charged with assembling a special homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must track down his former partner, Mia Krüger – a brilliant but troubled detective – who has retreated to a solitary island with plans to kill herself.
This novel has many of the traits of other Scandinavian novels so therefore feels safe and comfortable. But the plot soon dispels this with complex characters, twists and turns. The icy cold of the region permeates the book and the crimes also reflect this cold theme. A good read for its type.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley.
I’m Travelling Alone is available from Amazon here.
