The Boy in the Suit Case

I very much enjoyed The Boy in the Suit Case by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis which is set in Denmark and Lithuania.  I did find it a bit confusing at first with the different characters as each chapter focused on one or two of the characters, but stick with it as it all becomes clear.  A three year-old boy is kidnapped and found by a woman asked to collect a suitcase from a train station - no spoiler there, it's in the title anyway.  Then the reader is set for a ride to find out what happens to the boy and the reason he was kidnapped.  The chapter usually ends with a "cliff hanger" until that same character appears in future chapter.  As the tension builds the reader learns more about each character wonders how it will all end. 41/2/5
