The Boy in the Suitcase

When Nina's friend, Karin asks her for a favor she isn't able to refuse. It just isn't in her nature. She's a nurse. Someone who cares more about the lives of others than her own. Her existence is made up of globe-trotting expeditions to aid those in need.

Nina is usually calm under pressure, but this time she finds herself in deeper than she had imagined. The suitcase she has been tasked with retrieving from a train station locker has something unexpected inside... a small blond-haired boy, unclothed and unconscious.

The Boy in the Suitcase begins from the viewpoint of several different characters. They each seem to be living separate lives, but soon you see how each of their storylines intersect.

The storyline of this book was very solid. It was well written, but I would have liked to see more tension. That would have helped me get more emotionally involved in the story. It would play out well on screen. I can definitely see why it was on the short-list for Scandinavia's Glass Key Award.

I would recommend this book to those interested in immigration and child welfare, as well as those who like to read cold nordic thrillers.
