Hospitals are supposed to be places of healing. But in the coronary care unit at one of Copenhagen’s leading medical centers, a nurse fills a syringe with an overdose of heart medication and stealthily enters the room of an older male patient. Six days earlier, a paperboy on his route in central Copenhagen stumbles upon a macabre find: the naked body of a dead woman, lying in a fountain with arms marked with small incisions. Cause of death? Exsanguination - the draining of all the blood in her body.

As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Publisher's Summary
"This droll romp is a latter-day Miss Marple.” —Washington Post
Murder leaps off the page when crime novelists begin to turn up dead in this intricate new novel by internationally best-selling author Elly Griffiths, a literary mystery perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Agatha Christie.
The death of a ninety-year-old woman with a heart condition should not be suspicious. Detective Sergeant Harbinder Kaur certainly sees nothing out of the ordinary when Peggy’s caretaker, Natalka, begins to recount Peggy Smith’s passing.
But Natalka had a reason to be at the police station: while clearing out Peggy’s flat, she noticed an unusual number of crime novels, all dedicated to Peggy. And each psychological thriller included a mysterious postscript: PS: for PS. When a gunman breaks into the flat to steal a book and its author is found dead shortly thereafter—Detective Kaur begins to think that perhaps there is no such thing as an unsuspicious death after all.
And then things escalate: from an Aberdeen literary festival to the streets of Edinburgh, writers are being targeted. DS Kaur embarks on a road trip across Europe and reckons with how exactly authors can think up such realistic crimes . . .

Convoluted and nonsensical
I love Harbinder and the narrator did an amazing job but a great premise turned into a ridiculous resolution with an unbelievable motive and an even less believable investigation conducted by a bunch of misfits who have better detective skills than the police. Disappointing listen.

Not Griffiths’ best, but enjoyable.
The narrator does a brilliant job with the different accents and ages of the characters. Indian, Ukrainian, British — all are done very well. The story itself is interesting and the Scotland scenery picturesque. The resolution is confusing, with numerous victims and more than one murderer.

I heard the author's interview on my local PBS station. She got the idea for this book from her aunt who calls her with ideas for murdering someone. I was intrigued and I was not disappointed! Such a wonderful range of characters and a well written plot will keep you guessing until the end!
