The Lost Woman

De: Sara Blaedel

Narrado por: Christine Lakin

Following the incredible success of Sara Blaedel's #1 international bestsellers The Forgotten Girls and The Killing Forest, Louise Rick--head of the police department's elite Special Search Agency charged with missing persons cases--returns in Sara's latest twist-filled suspense novel . . .

A housewife is the target of a shocking, methodical killing. Shot with a hunting rifle through her kitchen window, the woman is dead before she hits the ground.

Though murdered in England, it turns out that the woman, Sofie Parker, is actually a Danish citizen who's been on the Missing Persons list for almost two decades--so Louise Rick is called on to the case. Then, in an unexpected twist, the police discover that Sofie had been reported missing eighteen years ago by none other than Eik, Louise Rick's police colleague and lover.

Impulsive as ever, Eik rushes to England, and ends up in jail on suspicion of Sofie's murder. Completely blindsided by Eik's connection to the case, Louise is thoroughly unsettled and sick with worry, yet she must set aside her own emotional turmoil if she hopes to find the killer in what will become her most controversial case yet...

Love this series!

Love her writing style. Occasionally it’s difficult with all the local references but it’s definitely made me want to visit Denmark!

Mystery with a discussion on a sensitive topic

This is a mystery with a complicated issue discussed as well. I enjoyed the broad spectrum of characters, as well as the way the author brought the issue of assisted suicide into light.

Okay

Didn’t like that they changed Mic Rasmussen name to Kim. That made no sense for me

It was ok

It’s a good story but nothing great. Easy read, covers a controversial topic, it’s good.

Okay

It was very hard to keep track of. The reader red well, but the story didnt seem to interest me that much.

An amazing book, by an author who is transparent and pioneering.

Shaley Howard’s book is what we need right now. It is an honest, heart-warming, and humorous story of someone who lives their truth, and shares it here in a way that will resonate with so many people.
