- More about The Axe Woman
Inspector Gunnar Barbarotti is asked to investigate a cold case of a missing person, Arnold Morinder, who disappeared five years ago. His partner, Ellen Bjarnebo, claimed that Arnold had likely traveled to Norway, but she is a notorious killer who has served eleven years in prison. Barbarotti must use all his ingenuity to make headway in the case without a body or chance to interview his prime suspect. He seeks solace from God and his colleague, Eva Backman, and as he closes in on his suspect, he realizes that nothing about Ellen Bjarnebo can be taken for granted.

When Inspector Gunnar Barbarotti returns to work after a terrible personal tragedy, his boss asks him to investigate a cold case, hoping to ease him back gently into his police duties. Five years previously, a shy electrician, Arnold Morinder, disappeared from the face of the earth, the only clue his blue moped abandoned in a nearby swamp. At the time, his partner, Ellen Bjarnebo, claimed that Arnold had probably traveled to Norway and never returned. But Ellen is one of Sweden's most notorious killers, having served eleven years in prison after killing her abusive first husband and dismembering his body with an axe. And when Barbarotti seeks to interview Ellen in relation to Arnold's disappearance, she is nowhere to be found.
But without a body and no chance of interviewing his prime suspect, Barbarotti must use all the ingenuity at his disposal to make headway in the case. Still struggling with his personal demons, Barbarotti seeks solace from God and the support of his colleague, Eva Backman. And as he finally begins to track down his suspect and the cold case begins to thaw, Barbarotti realizes that nothing about Ellen Bjarnebo can be taken for granted.
The Axe Woman is the fifth and final Inspector Barbarotti novel from bestselling author HÃ¥kan Nesser. It is a gripping and suspenseful tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Barbarotti is a flawed but determined investigator, and his journey to solve the case is filled with heartache, betrayal, and unexpected revelations. The Axe Woman is a testament to Nesser's skill as a storyteller and his ability to create complex and compelling characters.
