What to expect

In a quiet provincial Danish town, something is afoot. The volunteers of the local second-hand shop keep dying.

Since they’re all OAP's, the police can’t see the problem. It’s the inevitable – if unfortunate – circle of life. However, resident busy-body, and force-to-be-reckoned-with, Anne-Maj Mortensen is not so sure. She may be newly retired herself, but she still has her wits about her and knows when something needs a little investigating...

Scandi crime, but not as you’ve ever seen it before. The 'Danish Miss Marple' will thrill fans of Richard Osman's 'The Thursday Murder Club' and Anthony Horowitz' 'Hawthorne' series.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Well written, well narrated, would recommend to fans of the detective fiction, amateur sleuth, murder mystery genre. Hope there will be more from this author in the future, hopefully with the same narrator.
