It's set in Denmark and reflects the culture there. It also focuses on their "immigrant problem," in this case with a Jordanian family. Either the translation or the author's English is poor, so the rioting sometimes was flat or ungrammatical, but I still plan to read her other books. ( ) Only One Life is the third book in author Sara Blaedel’s Louise Rick Police Procedural series but the second one to be translated from Danish to English. In this outing Louise is involved in the investigation into the death of a Jordanian immigrant teen in a small Danish town. Because the victim was a young emigrant Muslim, the police immediately suspect that she was a victim of a family honor killing and turned their attention on the family. Although the story was interesting, I found it was moving too slowly and I was beginning to lose interest when a second death occurred which propelled the case forward and finally focused the investigation in the right direction. Unfortunately many believed in the theory of an honor killing and there were anti-immigrant slurs and the hint of violence that had to be dealt with. Overall I found the book lacked suspense, but the tension between the two different cultures was handled well. The author kept a good balance between Louise’s work life and her private life, and I will be reading on in the series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
