After 480 pages, the verdict is final and similar criticism to the first volume ("Mercy").
Beyond the friendly investigators duo Morck the cop and his assistant Assad, this thriller fishing a blatant lack of originality.
The author fails to transcend the concept of "Cold Case" and offers a too traditional investigation and bland.
The reading pleasure remains present through a smooth writing and a controlled narrative, but this is enough to keep the reader's attention that ends up getting bored until the final chapter.
In summary: "Desecration" is not a bad story, but it does not hold a candle to a Michael Connelly (for appearance "Cold Case") or Arnaldur INDRIDASON (for the side "thriller "cold").
