Blind Goddess

I enjoyed Blind Goddess by Anne Holt which was written in 1993 in Norway and translated in 2012.  A body is found by a lawyer, Karen, and when a young drug addict confesses to the murder he demands that Karen be his lawyer despite her having no experience in criminal law.  There is another murder and detectives Hanne and Hakon feel there is a connection between the two murders.  There are some very dangerous people involved in these drugs-related murders and the people involved don't know who to trust.  There are a number of twists and turns before the truth is revealed.  It is interesting to see how much our technology has advanced in the last 20 years with the tools that are now available to police that weren't then.  Good yarn. 4/5
