pgchuis 's review for:

Only One Life by Sara Blaedel
3.0

Louise Rick is seconded to a mobile unit to investigate the death of a 15 year old girl who immigrated to Denmark from Jordan. Later the girl's best friend is also found murdered and then her sister disappears. I found this book odd. Despite almost immediately wondering if the original murder might be an honour killing, the coroner is not asked to determine whether or not she is a virgin. There is a second protagonist, a journalist called Camilla, whose function puzzled me, and who clearly had an enormous back story from a previous novel. Louise sleeps with the detective she is partnered with (yawn) and the ending with Anne and Aida was horrifying. Louise should lose her job for incompetence.
