A woman vanishes from a forest near Oslo. Days later her body is found, seemingly mauled and maimed by a bear. When another woman is reported missing and then found dead with the same scratches and bites, police find the link between them is local doctor, Axel Glenne.

Forensics reveal the women were murdered and a net of suspicion tightens around Axel, who is convinced his twin brother Brede is responsible. But no one has seen him for years and if Axel is to prove his innocence, he needs to find Brede. And fast. But there isn't a single photograph of the brothers together and neither Axel's wife nor his children has ever met a man called Brede ...

A good read from an author I hadn't heard of before, though the format was a little strange as there's no quotation marks but hyphens indicating speech - I quite liked it for a change.

The basic premise is that the deaths of two women, apparently mauled by a bear, are believed by the police to have been committed by lccal Doctor, Axel Glenne. Axel in turn, believes the murders may have been committed by his twin brother...who his wife & children have never met ( it would have been better they had never even heard of him having a twin!) I thought that this would have been the main plot focus but it seemed to feature only briefly.

By the end there seemed to be a lot of loose ends but all-in-all, while not without faults I enjoyed enough to want to read more in the series :o)

This was an ok book. Not sure I would rush to read this author again though. I struggled with the formatting of the book as speech was not indicated like usual, it was often hard to tell who was speaking.

Sent for the Alphabet VBB.
