THE SANCTUARY Kørner & Werner Series, Book 4

Narrator Graeme Malcolm returns to perform this recently translated addition to the Kørner/Werner series. Malcolm engages listeners with an even-paced delivery that shifts among three points of view. Detective Jeppe Kørner is on leave, working as a lumberjack on Bornholm Island; Anette Werner, his partner, is tackling the case of a severed body found in two old suitcases in Copenhagen; and writer Esther de Laurenti, is on Bornholm to research a famous female anthropologist. Interspersed in Esther's story are old letters written by the anthropologist. Malcolm effectively differentiates the personalities. The three characters' stories merge for a well-performed atmospheric Nordic noir. Listeners will be fully engaged from the first chapter to the final reveals.
