Roland Benito og Anne Larsen #1
Dukkebarnet
Dukkebarnet handler om, hvor galt det kan gå, når børn chatter på nettet. Ingen ved, hvem der gemmer sig bag en mailadresse.
En regnfuld og lummer sommer findes en tiårig pige myrdet i en affaldscontainer i Brabrand. Den italienskfødte kriminalassistent Roland Benito hos østjyllands Politi bliver sat på sagen. Det samme gør Anne Larsen, journalist på Dagens Nyheder og freelancefotograf, Kamilla Holm, som kæmper med en tragisk hændelse i sit liv. Mordsagen kompliceres af, at den myrdede piges veninde pludselig forsvinder, og at begge piger viser sig at være medlemmer af en chatside på internettet og har løjet om deres alder.

This book is set in Denmark, it is the first of a series of 16. The first to be translated I’m guessing.
It was a rather dark take on the dangers of the internet where your friends may not be your friends. A 10 year old girl, Gitte Mikkelsen is found dead in a dumpster. Inspector Roland Benito catches the case. A few days later, Gitte’s friend, Louisa Poulson is reported missing. Journalist Anna Larsen and photographer Kamilla Holm from the Daily News discover some things that help the police so Roland is not averse to keeping them across the case.
Things get complicated very quickly. They learn that the girls were both active on an internet chat site. Gitte’s user name was doll child - rather provocative and very unfortunate. There are many potential suspects but not everybody is as they seem and many secrets are yet to be uncovered. The murder of an old lady does not, at first glance, seem related but could it be? The back stories of some of the characters are sad but they do bring these characters to life and explain some of their actions.
It was quite a complicated but compelling plot with excellent pacing. Unfortunately because of my shoulder injury it took me 4 days to read it. Nevertheless I enjoyed it very much. Many thanks to Netgalley and Saga Egmont for the much appreciated arc which I reviewed voluntarily and honestly.

I felt this started out really slow, and took way too long to get to the end. It needed more action if you was going to make it as long as it was. Over all I loved the plot of the story and the ending, I just felt it needed more action in it

Synes bogen var lidt "flyvsk", på trods af det meget alvorlige plot, blev sagen ikke taget alvorlig nok. Opklaringen var tilfældig, og der var alt for mange hovedpersoner involveret til, at man kun fik et overfladisk kendskab til dem. Jeg er spændt på bog om nr 2 i serien har et højere niveau, end denne temmelig overfladiske krimi har.

When detective rolling is called to the murder of a 10-year-old girl he knows the suspect will be a pervert, but which one. His murder investigation will lead him to the Internet, night clubs and into the dark secrets people don’t want coming to the light. This is a Gritty investigation and they may have some triggers for those who find it hard to deal with pedophilia, but if you can stomach it this is a great read. It’s set in Denmark which only proves even beautiful places hide ugly secrets. I love reading books that are set another countries into books that go through a translation sometimes it doesn’t translate well or whoever did the work for this book was excellent. You really don’t see any thing lacking. The drama flows nicely and Detective Roland gets his man and what a grotesque man he is. I thoroughly enjoyed this book I was given it by Net Galley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Der Container
Die 10jährige Gitte Mikkelsen tot aufgefunden. Als wäre ein Mord an einem Kind nicht schon schlimm genug hat der Mörder nichts besseres zu tun gehabt als das Kind ausgerechnet in einem Abfallcontainer zu entsorgen. Wie menschenverachtend muss einer sein. Daran haben auch die ermittelnden Beamten zu knacken. Was bei den Polizisten, unter ihnen Rolando Benito, ebenfalls eine gewisse Missstimmung auslöst: Die Journalistin Anne Larsen und ihre Fotografin Kamilla Holm scheinen den Beamten häufiger einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Zu Beginn kommt die Untersuchung auch nur langsam voran, denn niemand scheint ein Motiv zu haben. Umso mehr geraten die Ermittler unter Druck als auch noch eine Freundin der Ermordeten spurlos verschwindet.
In seinem ersten Fall steht Rolando Benito, der dänische Polizist mit italienischen Wurzeln, nicht einmal besonders im Mittelpunkt. Die Reporterin Anne Larsen und ihre Fotografin sind des öfteren schneller als er mit dem Finden und Entschlüsseln von Hinweise. Die beiden Frauen setzen ihre Spürnasen mit großem Eifer dafür ein, die Hintergründe des grausamen Mordes zu entschlüsseln. Dabei kämpfen sie nicht nur um die Wahrheit, sondern sie kämpfen auch mit den Wunden, die ihre eigenen Leben bestimmen. So scheint Anne immer auf der Flucht zu sein und Kamilla muss den tragischen Unfall ihre kleinen Sohnes verkraften, der leider einen tödlichen Ausgang hatte.
Obwohl der Roman einen interessanten und spannenden Ansatz hat, bleibt gerade der Ermittler, nach dem die Reihe benannt ist, etwas flach und blass. Den beiden Pressemitarbeiterinnen und ihren privaten Traumata wird dagegen zumindest gefühlt mehr Platz eingeräumt. Dadurch wirken die beiden weiblichen Protagonistinnen viel lebendiger als der eigentliche Ermittler und sein Team. Etwas mühsam ist es bei den ausführlich geschilderten Problemen der Ermittler/Presseleute den eigentlichen Fall nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Zwar halten spannende und unerwartete Entwicklungen immer wieder bei der Stange und wecken die Neugier am Ausgang des Kriminalfalles, doch so ganz will der Funke nicht überspringen. Dennoch ein lesenswerter Krimi, der allerdings ein wenig mehr Tempo gebrauchen könnte.

Serviceable, but the constant fat-shaming (by the good guys as well as the obsessively fat-phobic villain) was a bit much.
Also, if you're sensitive about animal abuse, the book starts with a scene involving the killing of toads, and it was genuinely horrible.
Also, it's VERY early 2000s. I'm not sure if that's a negative or a positive.
One last gripe. The translation. I guess it's standard practice for Scandinavian books to be translated into British English, but I still throws me. Do Danish people really use the word "knickers"? Admittedly, this is a reader issue. There was one scene where the ten year old girl referred to her pubic hair as "fluff" and it made cringe. Shudder...
Yeah, sadly, that was my big take-away, a revolting, deeply upsetting scene of animal cruelty, and one equally revolting word choice.

Fin - ikke voldsom uhyggelig - krimi. Fint persongalleri. Vil som ren afslapning læse flere af dem. Velegnede til at “høre” i hobbyværkstedet.

This review is for an ARC copy received from the publisher through NetGalley.
I requested Username: Doll Child from NetGalley because I consider myself a fan of Nordic Noir after discovering Jo Nesbo, Jussi Adler-Olsen and The Girl books by Stieg Larsson and David Lagercrantz. While being a gritty crime thriller, this book was a little less dark than some of the others of its ilk. Though overall it was written pretty solidly, the plot was a bit unfocused. There's a gripping story at the heart of a 10-year old girl who is found murdered and soon after a friend of hers disappears, the biggest connection being they all used the same chat room and were contacted (apparently) by an adult male. However, where that seemed like it would be a main focus of the story, that was merely one of numerous elements in the crime and not explored very far. When an elderly woman is brutally murdered the question comes up as to whether the crimes are connected at all. Initially written off as not being so, nonetheless the parallel investigations to the crimes eventually take place, but in bits and pieces.
Also, this is listed as the first in the Rolando Benito, the primary detective, series. It may be that when Madsen first wrote the novel he didn't intend on writing a series. Maybe that explains why Benito is a main character, but not THE main character. Yes, he is one of the top people in the police department and runs the investigation, but the story doesn't center around him. There is equal, or even possibly, more time dedicated to a spunky young journalist, Anne Larsen, and the news photographer, Kamilla Holm, who investigate from a journalistic angle. And whether it's because this was originally thought of a singular novel or in an attempt to copy the Millennium novels, there is a lot of backstory and side stories involving those two, especially Kamilla, which add nothing to the main story except to give those characters some depth. Since it seems this is the only book in the series thus far translated to English, it will be interesting to see if Kamilla and/or Anne have roles in the subsequent novels, and if Benito becomes more of the central figure. 3.5 rounded up to 4/5*

I would like to thank Netgalley and Saga Egmont for an advance copy of Username: Doll Child, the first novel in the DI Roland Benito series, set in the Danish town of Aarhus.
When the body of a ten year old girl is found in a dumpster Roland Benito is assigned the case. He has hardly started his investigation when the victim’s best friend disappears. Benito finds that both of them had lied about their age when signing up for an internet chat room. In the meantime journalist Anne Larsen is new to the area and determined to make a name for herself, so along with freelance photographer Kamilla Holm they mount their own investigation.
I enjoyed Username: Doll Child which is an eventful read with so much more than Benito’s investigation. I have read a couple of other novels in the series, which were so-so, but this is much better, longer and more complex.
The novel is told from a multitude of points of view, which are seemingly unconnected and, yet, the reader just knows that it will all come together eventually. It took me a long time to sort out all the voices and recognise the characters, with some obvious exceptions like Benito, Anne Larsen and Kamilla Holm, but the author injected enough mystery to make me curious and keep turning the pages. The plot is quite complex and turns into something different from what the reader would assume from the early pages. I found it really interesting and while not quite gripping - it’s too busy for that - it kept me turning the pages. Did I say busy? Apart from the complexities of the murder investigation there are several subplots to contend with as well. It’s certainly all go.
As this is the first novel in a series there is a lot of character development and backstory going on for the three main protagonists. It is a story of pain and betrayal for Anne and Kamilla and a balancing act between home and work for the comparatively happy Benito.
The novel was published in Danish in 2008, so while it is all about the dangers of the internet and who you meet there, it is very old fashioned in its technology.
Username: Doll Child is a good read that I can recommend.

Username: Doll Child by Inger Gammelgaard Madsen is the first book of a long-running series. I am not familiar with the rest of the series, not sure if this is the first to be translated, but if the others are I look forward to reading them.
When I know a book is the first in a series I tend to read with somewhat altered expectations. I still want a good mystery and a compelling case/investigation, but I also accept a bit more character background to help establish recurring characters in the readers' mind for future volumes. Taking all of this into account, I was pleased enough to look forward to the rest of the volumes being translated.
On the topic of characters, I know that the series is called the Roland Benito series but based on the time spent on background, as well as their importance to the case (and the plot), I am imagining this as more of a team series than an individual series. I would love for someone who has read the rest of the series to let me know, since I found some of the other characters more interesting.
While I thought the story could have been a little smoother (by that I mean fewer stops and starts) I was invested enough to keep reading and working through the clues. The images brought to mind were not pretty but stopped, I think, well short of being particularly gruesome.
I would recommend this to readers who might be looking for a new (to them) series. I am assuming that the decision to translate the first volume in a long-running series means they will be translating the rest.

I don't normally keep up with foreign thrillers, but as a millennial, any plot involving teens chatting with strangers on the internet coupled with crime usually piques my interest. I loved the setting of the book- Denmark. Nordic and Scandinavian mysteries go hand in hand with some very dark horror-noir stories, so I knew just from the book synopsis and book title alone that I would not be disappointed! The character development of everyone in the Danish suburb of Brabrand was very detailed, and each had their own distinct history. As the narrative unfolds, the reader finds out how each person is connected to another, all while we have the overarching storyline of a teenager found dead in a dumpster, and another who's gone missing. This is a great "who dunnit"-type mystery, as you're constantly wondering who it is of the cast of characters you've been introduced to. As this is the first in a best-selling series (I"m guessing newly translated), I imagine American readers will definitely want to follow the rest of the books in the series. I would not say this book needs any trigger warnings, as there's not too much gore or depictions of sexual assault (there's very little). All things considered, this was a great read and I would check out more from the author. 10/10, and thanks to NetGalley and Saga Egmont International for the ARC!

Book 1 in the best selling Roland Benito series. On a humid and rain filled summer day in the Danish suburb of Brabrand, the body of a ten year old girl is found lifeless in a dumpster. Detective Inspector Roland Benito is immediately put on the case. Reporter Anne Larsen and freelance photographer, Kamilla Holm, are covering the case for The Daily News and the deeper they look into the story, the more entangled they become. It quickly becomes apparent to all involved, that the crime is linked to an internet chat site where the murdered girl had a profile. The hunt for the killer is on. But things start to get complicated when the victim's best friend mysteriously disappears. She too had a profile on the chat site. She too lied about her age. 'Doll Child' is the chilling story of the dark side to the internet, where no one knows who is hiding behind that username or what they're capable of doing.
Really enjoyable read totally recommend
Thank You NetGalley and Saga Egmont

läste den på svenska men den svenska versionen här hade finsk text.
Blir lite fundersam över att barn chattade via datorn (hello Snapchat) Dom röker som borstbindare och kvinnorna verkar vara hemmafruar.. Den kom ut 2008...man blir lätt lurad när man bara ser utgiven 2017.
Ja översatt och utgiven ja. Och man verkar ha använt Google översättning kommer inte ihåg exakta ord men meningsbyggnad och den/det var helt fel på flera ställen. Vilket slarvjobb.. Jag kommer inte läsa fler i serien och rekomenderar inte vidare. Det minsta man kan begära är väl att man översätter ordentligt. Och att inte inläsaren reagerar? . Har man inget eget förnuft när man läser in böcker. Roosman har aldrig varit en favorit och än mindre nu.
Korkade huvudpersoner deluxe borde jag anmäla inbrott efter att två personer mördats och ett barn är försvunnen JA DET BORDE DU! 🙄 Oj en journal är visst stulen men det är lungt jag ringer polisen efter helgen..nämnde jag att ett barn är dött och ett försvunnet men visst vänta med att anmäla att journalen efter det döda barnet är stulet för det du Wth

Username: Doll Child by Inger Gammelgaard Madsen is about Detective Inspector Roland Benito, who is immediately put on the case of the death of a ten-year-girl found lifeless in a dumpster. Doll Child is the chilling story of the dark side of the internet.
This is the first book I have read by this author, which kept me engaged and had a captivating storyline. I really liked the setting. There were several characters introduced to keep track of, but it did not get confusing, and there are some sub-storylines that actually enhanced the story. It did seem like each character had a story to tell.
This book has been translated from the original Danish version. I look forward to other books by this author in this series. I enjoyed reading this book and being introduced to a new author and series. I would rate this a 4 out of 5 stars.

Inhalt
Dänemark. Ein Mädchen von 10 Jahren wird tot in einem Müllcontainer gefunden. Es sind mysteriöse Umstände. Sie ist nicht sexuell missbraucht worden aber ihre weiße Strumpfhose fehlt. Sowie ihr Rucksack und ihr Fahrrad. Als Detektiv Roland Benito die Ermittlungen übernimmt, tappt die Polizei im Dunkeln als sie mit der Freundin des Mädchens sprechen möchten müssen Sie feststellen das auch Sie entführt worden ist. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt. Das Mädchen muss gefunden und der Mörder gefasst werden.
Meinung
Ich fand das Buch sehr spannend und ich habe mich sehr gut unterhalten gefühlt.
Ich mag Krimis und Thriller wo ich nicht sofort weiß wer der Mörder ist und das wird in diesem Buch bis zum Schluss nicht verraten.
Fazit
Ein spannender Roman von Anfang bis Ende.

Lähtökohdiltaan ihan kiinnostava mutta lopulta hiukan sekava kirja. Eniten häiritsi kuitenkin se, kuinka lihavia ja vammaisia kirjassa kuvattiin. Kaikki lihavat olivat rumia, hikisiä ja vastenmielisiä. Vammainen henkilö taas kurja ja onneton, vaikka muita perusteita tälle ei esitetty kuin henkilön vammaisuus.
Päähenkilöt valokuvaaja Kamilla ja toimittaja Anne olivat kiinnostavia hahmoja, mutta edellä mainitun vuoksi ei jäänyt kiinnostusta lukea sarjan muita osia. Rikostutkija Benito oli melko stereotyyppinen hahmo.

Jeg fik denne serie anbefalet af flere og tænkte, jeg hellere måtte starte forfra med denne “gamle” bog.
Jeg vil helt sikkert vende tilbage til serien imellem de andre bøger, jeg læser.
Jeg kan godt lide, at bogen ikke bare er en ren krimi, men at man lærer hovedpersonerne og deres baggrund og liv godt at kende. Vi følger de forskellige personers personlige liv. Det er nok det, der gør, at bogen vil blive betegnet som en femi-krimi, og det kan jeg faktisk godt lide.
Bogen er dog lidt lang og der er for mange sidehistorier og personer at forholde sig til.

One of my bookish aims this year is to read more translated fiction so I was so happy to be able to get the chance to review this book.
It was well written with a compelling storylie that kept me engaged all the way through and well developed characters. The story was twisty and kept me guessing. I enjoyed it.

This book started off slow, picked up and got super interesting and then the ending was kind of predictable and rushed. Overall a good read, I got through it super quick. The short chapters help keep the pace up once you get going.
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Detective Inspector Roland Benito works to find the killer of a young girl buried along with a doll. The killer’s thinking is revealed at times and it’s creepy. Readers will need to wade through this translated fiction novel to discover who the killer is. I confess to skimming some of the text.

Aarhusiin, Tanskaan sijoittuva dekkarisarjan avaus. Sopii kuunneltavaksi hyvin hiihtoon ja lenkkipoluille, joten jatkoa tulee varmaankin kuunneltua.

Bogen er fin. Naturligvis er det relativt, men jeg kunne ikke lide den så godt, som jeg har hørt den ellers skulle være. Dette gør dog ikke, at jeg ikke vil læse nr. 2, men indtil videre, holdes der lige en pause med serien. På like.. 17 bind.

Jeg blev desværre hurtigt sat af alle karaktererne, så man nogle gange slet ikke ved hvem er. Det fjernede en del af spændingen hele tiden ikke at vide, hvem der blev fortalt om. Men nu er serien startet og forhåbentlig kommer der styr på det i 2'eren.

Bra karaktärer.

Interesting story. I have mixed feelings about the characters - there are borderline too many separate views presented.

Super spændende start på Rolando Benito krimi serien.

Paljon henkilöitä ja sen vuoksi oli vaikea pysyä perillä kenen tarinaa eri kappaleissa seurattiin, etenkin kun välillä henkilöt vaihtuivat kesken kappaleen
