The Forgotten Girls by Sara Blaedel

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Outstanding)

Louise Rick is the new commander of the Missing Persons Department in a small town in Denmark. She is charged with investigating the murder of a young woman whose body was found in a remote region of the forest. The victim has a large scar covering over half her face. This scar should make it easy to identify her; however, her photo doesn't match any of the women reported missing

After Rick releases the victim's photo to the media, someone comes forward with a name. The missing woman, Lisemette, was a resident of an abandoned institution. The records of the facility indicate that she died 30 years ago.

Rick's investigation uncovers unprincipled practices at the institution.   As more criminal activity is discovered, her investigation leads her closer to your childhood home.

While the book is the seventh in a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel. I rated this book at 5/5 stars for being outstanding. This thriller kept my interests throughout and I never figure out the whodunit.

"She didn't know how she had gotten lost. The door had been ajar, and they hadn't noticed her standing in the doorway. She had been overcome with joy when she felt the sun warming her and beckoning her, but that was hours ago and now everything had turned cold and unsettling." - The Forgotten Girls
