Review of "Death of a Nightingale: A Nina Borg Mystery" by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis



  
In this third book in the 'Nina Borg' series, Nurse Borg is harboring a girl whose mother is in prison. The book can be read as a standalone.

*****

Natasha - a Ukrainian woman living is Denmark - is in prison for attempted murder. She escapes police custody and is desperate to reunite with her eight-year-old daughter Katerina. The girl has been living in a refuge, cared for by nurse Nina Borg.

Meanwhile, there are a lot of complex things going on and other people want to get their hands on little Katerina.

The book's structure - going back and forth in time - became confusing. And there were so many minor characters that they started to blend together and it was hard to remember who was who.

Still, I would have given the book more stars if the ending was more complete and resolved. When I finished the book I couldn't quite figure out exactly what happened all those years ago that drove all the components of the story.


Rating: 3 stars
