The Corpse Flower by Anne Mette Hancock
4.0

The Corpse Flower is the first book in the series by Danish author, Anne Mette Hancock featuring Kaldan and Scháfer. I picked up the second book without realising it was a sequel so went back and read this one first. I'm glad I did as this one really helped to establish the characters, their backstory and it was a really good read.

The story features a journalist and a detective. The journalist angle helped to add an amateur detective vibe to the book. The story was interesting and had some tense moments. Overall it was an engaging read but I have to admit I preferred the sequel much more.

I am really looking forward for the english translation of the third novel and will be reading that as soon as it comes out.
