The Chestnut Man

Product Information

But now I’m barely rounding up 3.5 to 4 stars just because of the impressive, riveting, exciting beginning. The reasons to cut the points: Soon afterwards, another woman is found murdered, along with another chestnut man. Thulin and Hess suspect that there’s a connection between the Hartung case, the murdered women and a killer who is spreading fear throughout the country. But what is it? Scott, Sheena.

T he Chestnut Man has success written all over it. You will never want to play with conkers again Daily Express Among the characters, Detectives Thulin and Hess make an unlikely pair. Thulin is a single mother and a rising star in her police force. Hess is an outsider—from Europol, sent to Copenhagen as punishment for one of his many blunders on the job. A dark brooding Hess is a perfect foil to Thulin’s cool and collected personality. I wish the story had more interactions between the two but hopefully, their story will be continued in future installments. The book has many instances of graphic violence. However, this violence is not at the expense of the story and only advances the story further. Having said that, some of the scenes may be upsetting for some. When Kristine's fingerprints were discovered on a chestnut figurine found close to the body of Laura Kjaer (beaten to death and with a limb removed, Laura is assumed to be another victim of the Chestnut Man), there's renewed hope that Kristine may be alive after all. Hess looks through old archive footage from Kristine Hartung's murder scene, where he discovers another chestnut man. Rosa Hartung changes her stance on Steen and decides to support him. Thulin and Hess question Linus Bekker again after footage from the murder scene shows him being present when he claimed he was dumping Kristine's body. Fractures start to show in Bekker's alibi, and he reveals he knows who the killer is but refuses to tell them. Nylander allows them to question Rosa Hartung, and they ask to look into old relocation cases of children she dealt with during her tenure. Too late, they discover that Hartung's driver, Jacob Rasouli, and his girlfriend, Benedikte Skans, have kidnapped Gustav Hartung. Both of them had been relocated to foster homes and acted in revenge against Hartung. Their van is eventually found, but both are already dead, while Gustav is alive. Hess suspects that Skans didn't kill herself and Rasouli in a murder-suicide. Thulin discovers severed body parts in a fridge belonging to Rasouli and Skans, whereupon Nylander closes the case.
