The Undertaker's Daughter | 
A woman travels from Copenhagen to Racine, Wisconsin, after learning that her estranged father has died and left her a funeral home to manage. But things aren‘t exactly what they seem! This isn‘t quite a page turner, but it‘s interesting and gives me another book for #50states of mystery. Since it ends on a cliff hanger, I guess I‘ll read the next one.
panI‘ve read several of Blaedel‘s Louise Rick series and really enjoyed them, so I was bummed to discover this one, the beginning of a new series, is a complete misfire. Ilka travels from Denmark to Wisconsin to determine what to do with her late estranged father‘s funeral home. There is little plot or character development. I definitely won‘t read this series.
pickI have to say that I am now a big fan of Sara Blaedel. I have heard many good things about her novels, so when I found out my library had this novel, I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the novel. I quickly fell in love with the characters, and am ready for the second in the series! I will certainly be reading her other novels.
Just got out of the Women Writing Crime discussion with Sara Blaedel and Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. This was a fun one and I think I'm going to bump up The Undertaker's Daughter on my TBR #BayAreaBookFest
🍁🌳📚🍂🍃📚🍊🤓 #FallReads #FallIntoReading #TBR
These are just some of my planned #FallReads.
In the fall I tend to go for dark, gothic, atmospheric reads or of course scary thriller/mystery type reads, or simple anything involving witches & ghosts!😱
Some of these are #ARCS, such as the tagged title which involves a woman who inherits a funeral home of all things, from a father she barely knew....& an unsolved murder too! (2/6/18)😮🙊
A book by Sara Blaedel set in Wisconsin- count me in! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the new main character of Ilka. Can't wait for the next installment. And read while on vacation - even better.
#TBRtemptation post 7! #BEA17 edition! This is the start of a brand-new series from Denmark's "Queen of Crime". Think of "Six Feet Under" & "The Killing". Ills is a photographer in Copenhagen when she learns her estranged father died & left her his funeral home in Racine, Wisconsin. She hops on a plane to learn about him & quick-sale the place, but stumbles on an unsolved murder with danger imminent. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?#Coale photobomb
Virkelig god bog. Kunne ikke ligge den fra mig. Det glæder mig det er første bog i en trilogi!
