Cry Wolf: A Novel

Hans Rosenfeldt sets up the characters in Cry Wolf like dominoes on a table. The drug dealer who listens to Whitney Houston; the assassin who puts Villanelle from Killing Eve to shame; the car mechanic who fixes more than cars; and our detective, Hannah Wester, who carries the emotional baggage of a freight train. Rosenfeldt sets the first domino against the next. Our thrill here is watching them topple. Where they stop will be your guess until the last page. We loved this book — it’s a mixture of cat-and-mouse thriller, Nordic noir and police procedural.
