Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery/Scout Press, and Katrine Engberg for the opportunity to read and review this thriller - I loved it and am so excited to read more! This is the first in a series of police procedural mysteries taking place in Copenhagen. Three books have been big successes in the UK - this is a translation for release in the US and is a great addition to the Nordic/Swedish crime series. Fans of Jo Nesbo and Tana French will love this book!
We are introduced to Copenhagen detectives, Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner, as they are called to investigate the death of a young woman renting an apartment in a 3-story house. The elderly man who lived above the woman found her and it caused him to suffer a heart attack. The owner of the house, Esther, is a retired professor and a crime writer. These characters become linked when there is another murder but exactly how?
I really enjoyed these characters - especially Jeppe - and am so anxious to read more! I thought the mystery was well-written, even though it was a complicated, multi-faceted case. So glad the US is being introduced to another great writer and crime series!
