The crime novel Myrdede sjæle by Klaus Enghvidt Olsen does not take murder as its starting point, but instead focuses on another serious crime - rape.In Myrdede sjæle, the victim is not killed, but must live for years or even a lifetime with large scars on the soul, the victim's role in this novel is therefore different and more central than in the classic crime novel.
Said by the author: "I read a series of articles in Information 'Testimonies', where 35 women talk about rapes they never reported. It inspired me to write a crime novel without a murder, but instead focusing on another very serious type of crime that apparently doesn't get enough attention. I hope that rape is recognized as the serious crime it is for the victim."
The author has previously published the novels The Lihou Documents and Like an Obsession.

Reviews:
Bente Wiik, Fyens Stiftstidende: 5 out of 6 stars
'Sensitive, loving and evil ... glistening with linguistic wit, full of emotional knowledge of both women and men and an insistent playfulness with her reader. This literary experience contains the author who deserves to come out into the light. Quite simply, I think 'Murdered Souls' is on the verge of success. It sparkles, contains insight beyond the ordinary... A book that makes you think...'
Camilla Laugesen, Bogfidusen: 5 out of 6 stars
'It is interesting that a man chooses to write about rape and female victims. He has done good research into what goes on in the minds of both victim and perpetrator ... The novel is well put together and hard to put down once you get started.'
Sidse Cordes, Sidsesbogreol.dk: 5 out of 6 stars
'The author writes well and several times managed to give me a cold shiver down my spine ... "Murdered Souls" is in many ways a tough book to read. It deals with a serious subject that unfortunately affects many ... Although "Murdered Souls" is not your typical crime novel where a murder is solved, I would still recommend crime fans to read the book. It is both important and exciting. I sense that this is one of those books that will stay with me for a while after I finish reading it."
