Out of the dark is the fourth Jensen thriller from Heidi Amsinck .
This book has pulled me out of my reading slump. The thriller series is brilliantly crafted and well-written scandi crime noir. We follow Jensen and Jungersen as they take on one of their most harrowing cases. This book deals with them with some heavy, dark topics, but I like the way I was engaged and invested throughout the book to get to the ending. As always, Gustav remains my favourite character.
Jensen is at a critical stage in her life and this case probably brings a lot of realisation and understanding on her part about what she needs to do in her life next. In that regard, it's a pivotal case for her. Her dogged determination and a continuous commitment to telling the truth with a lot of empathy makes her a formidable main character.
I want really good things to happen to Gustav. I would have liked to know a bit more about the perpetrators and their background and motivations. But once again we end on such a twist and I can't wait to read book 5 when that comes out.

This is one of my favourite series, Jensyn, a reporter, and Henrick, a married police officer have an on/off relationship but always end up helping one another out with their stories and cases, although there is usually a lot of resistance both ways. I have read the previous books so it was easy to catch up with the characters again (I would definitely recommend this). Ther series is set in Copenhagen and I enjoyed the description of the city, and the Danish culture.
In this book, Henrick is trying to solve the disappearance of Mathilde, a young girl who vanished from a park. Jensyn is trying to help Bodil la Coeur, an old lady who witnessed a crime, but nobody believes her. In this book, they both have a lot going on in their personal lives, while still trying to do their jobs. It's a complicated plot, with lots of twists.
I really liked Bagger in the IT crimes department, and Gustav and his friend Fie are great.
The ending was good, hopefully there will be another book coming soon.

I was privileged to be offered the opportunity to read this on NetGalley and loved every second of it! I have read the other books in the ‘Jensen’ series but I think this would work equally well as a standalone read. The author skilfully recaps the past without seeming to deviate at all from the plot line of this excellent book. Some people may find the theme of the case they are investigating difficult to read as it focuses on child sexual abuse but it is not unnecessarily portrayed or gratuitous.
The characters in the book feel realistically flawed and driven by a need to solve the case at all costs. They act impulsively but, at no point, are their actions unbelievable. The action moves forward at pace and rushes to an exciting ending. I could not put it down and cannot wait for the next instalment!

Currently on holiday in Copenhagen, I figured it was the perfect time to dive into a novel set in the city. While crime fiction isn’t usually my go-to genre, I’m so glad I picked up Out of the Dark by Heidi Amsinck. It’s a gripping read, I couldn’t put it down! Packed with twists and turns, it kept me hooked from start to finish. Although it’s the fourth book in a series, it works perfectly as a standalone. That said, I’m definitely planning to go back and read the earlier ones!
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the chance to read the book in exchange for an honest review!

This is the third Jensen book I've read (I read the first two but then missed the third) and it was like greeting old friends.

Although the story is set in Copenhagen, it doesn't feel inaccessible, and it's enjoyable reading about other countries and areas. The story itself was very good, tense and tightly woven, with lots of clues and red herrings that kept me guessing. I guessed some of the ending but not all of it.

My only quibbles were that the ending felt a little rushed and that Henrik is still so dense and refuses to listen to Jensen when she tells him things or to take her calls or reply to her when she messages. Obviously it's a plot device but it does make me scream at the book!

I want to know what happened in the third book so shall be downloading that one next to catch up.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read.

Very good, entertaining and a lot of action! I also like the characters, particularly Gustav and Fie. I enjoyed roaming the streets of Copenhagen, a city I love! For me, this is the best Jensen thriller because it kept me on the edge of my seat all through my reading!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I have voluntarily written an honest review.

I wasn’t sure I would like this book when I started reading. Yes, it’s a new Scandinavian series that I just came across, so that was a plus. I found myself not relating to the characters at first and I believe that was because this book was #4 in the series. I just didn’t know the backstory of those involved. But, the story itself, was good if a little choppy and kept my interest going. Although the subject matter is dark, the ending may surprise you.

I plan on reading the rest of the series. Recommended!
