I feel like I have whiplash from the twists and turns in this book! What a storyline! I think this book was more who-dunnit drama more than thriller but there’s nothing wrong with that!

I love a good police procedural - and this delivered in spades! 

The story of a young woman’s murder is told through the eyes of her landlord - Esther, an aspiring crime writer, and the Jeppe Korner, the policeman in charge of investigating the murder. 

This is the type of story that has family drama, crime, police work, alllllll rolled into one!
