The investigation, led by detective Jeppe Kørner, uncovers a chilling web of exploitation and abuse. Sanne's past becomes a haunting presence, revealing a life marred by trauma and a desperate search for identity. As Kørner delves deeper into the case, he encounters a society that turns a blind eye to the most vulnerable.
Katrine Engberg's Lost Girl is a powerful exploration of the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic society. Through the lens of a shocking crime, the novel unveils the hidden truths about the systemic failures and societal hypocrisy that can lead to unthinkable tragedies.
A Scandalous Masterpiece
Beyond the gripping crime narrative, Lost Girl is also a captivating literary work. Engberg's prose is both haunting and lyrical, creating a vivid and evocative atmosphere that transports readers to the dark underbelly of Copenhagen.
The novel's structure, alternating between Julie's present-day perspective and Sanne's past experiences, builds tension and provides a multi-layered examination of the characters' motivations and the events that led to the tragedy.
Engberg's deft characterization brings both Julie and Sanne to life. Julie's determination to uncover the truth and her resilience in the face of adversity make her an unforgettable protagonist. Sanne's tragic backstory and the poignant exploration of her search for love and acceptance make her a deeply sympathetic figure.
