When a figurine made of chestnuts is found at the scene of a grisly murder in a playground, an unlikely pair of detectives are called in to try to solve the case. Complications arise however, when the chestnut man has fingerprints of a politician's missing daughter, assumed dead for over a year. With no way to determine how long the fingerprints have been on the chestnuts, the detectives walk a precarious line between opening an old file, or discarding it as coincidence. That decision is made more difficult as more bodies surface with more chestnut men.
Based on a book with the same name written by Soren Sveistrup, The Chestnut Man is an excellent thriller and one worth watching. It is short enough to binge in one sitting if you are willing to devote that much time. Much like the Killing, is will hold your attention and throw a few surprises in the mix. I've already added the book to my lengthy 'to read' pile. It will be interesting to see how the two compare.
