Sara Blaedel is the author of the #1 international bestselling series featuring Detective Louise Rick. Her books are published in thirty-seven countries. In 2014 Sara was voted Denmark’s most popular novelist for the fourth time. She is also a recipient of the Golden Laurel, Denmark’s most prestigious literary award.
In 2016 she published the first book "The Undertakers Daughter" in a new trilogy set in Racine, Wisconsin:
Already widowed by the age of forty, Ilka Nichols Jensen, a school portrait photographer, leads a modest, regimented, and uneventful life in Copenhagen. Until unexpected news rocks her quiet existence: Her father–who walked out suddenly and inexplicably on the family more than three decades ago–has died. And he’s left her something in his will: his funeral home. In Racine, Wisconsin.
I got this book from a little free library, but seriously? They should have just put it in the trash. An unlikable protagonist, uninteresting characters and a mystery that never comes to a conclusion. Oddly enough it is easily readable which is why I continued to the end hoping to see how all the random threads tied together. Only to realize it was first in a series of three. To be continued.... Uh, no thanks.
