The case behind the episode
Although a specific criminal case is not reviewed in this episode, <a href='/krimidex/morkeland'>Mørkeland</a> draws threads to the many cases that have been covered throughout the year. The hosts discuss trends in Danish and international crime reporting and take a closer look at which documentaries, books, and podcasts have managed to shed light on complex human tragedies with the necessary respect for the victims. A central part of the episode is the revelation of listeners' votes, where it turns out that the hosts' own guesses for the winners often miss the mark compared to the audience's favorites.
