A Conspiracy of Faith

A conspiracy of Faith by Jussi Adler Olsen


If you like detective and mystery stories this is a good one and as it builds to a crescendo towards the end of the book, it's a real page turner. The mystery keeps going right the way through the book .Even though the plot takes place in Denmark and Sweden, the author writes in the style of other great Nordic  mystery writers but adds a touch of humor to the mystery and a great deal of "how did that  happen and who could it be?".There are subplots within subplots which makes for  very complicated but entertaining reading.
The story starts with a bottle with a message written in blood being found on the coast of Scotland and develops into a gripping story of a serial killer living  in Denmark who is as clever as the police forces trying to find him.  The challenge is to to rescue his new victims before they die.
I will certainly look for other books by this author. It was a great read.
