Louise Rick / Camilla Lind

review 1: The second Louise Rick novel. Louise is a detective in Denmark and her friend Camilla is a journalist. Both friends pasts, related in the novel Blue Blood, are alluded to in the course of this story but you don’t need to know what happened in the previous story to enjoy this one. The case involves a murdered girl who happens to be an immigrant from Jordan and an exploration of cultural stereotypes and the concept of honour killing.
review 2: This was my 1st book by Sara Blaedel featuring Louise Rick, a Copenhagen police detective. I liked it and will read another. My enjoyment of the library book was marred by the fact that a previous reader decided to edit the book, so it was filled with editorial markings and questions to the writer. Because of her past ... moreexperience with honor killings, Louise Rick is dispatched to Holbraek Fjord where a young Muslim girl is found dead in the water with a piece of concrete tied around her waist. Apparently there is concern this could be another honor killing. Later, her Danish girlfriend is also found murdered. We learn about the practice of honor killings, plus the clash of the Muslim culture when trying to integrate into a non-Muslim culture. I guessed the motive and murderer early on. less
