Out to reopen a case which has gone cold of a little girl found murdered in the woods ten years earlier, they go into that dense woodland to see where she was found. Something happens in amongst the trees and Hanne is later found wandering around confused and injured, Peter has totally disappeared.

I did find this book quite hard to get into at the beginning, but I am really pleased that I persevered as once it got going I really enjoyed it. Having the diary excerpts in amongst the story added to the intrigue and kept me guessing.
