The same caution as I gave in my review of the first mystery in this Series, THE GIRL WITHOUT SKIN, still applies: there's a high gore level, lots of violence including domestic and against women, also against men. The author doesn't scruple to peel back the thin veneer covering ugly Societal truths, about domestic violence and incest and rape. The revelations consequently are horrifying, and it is difficult not to rejoice when justice is applied in the form of Vengeance rather than by Law.
High praise to author Mads Peder Nordbo and to gifted translator Charlotte Barslund for efficiently communicating the mindset, emotions, and nonlife within the physical shell, experienced for a lifetime by sufferers of rape, child sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and other forms of abuse of children (of both genders) and women. Their suffering is exquisitely defined.
