The Lost Woman
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
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...

At the start of Danish author Blaedel’s disappointing sixth Louise Ricks novel to be published in the U.S. (after 2016’s The Killing Forest), a gunman outside a house in England takes aim through a window at a woman as she’s preparing dinner and shoots her dead. Back in Denmark, Eik Nordstrøm, Rick’s police partner (who’s also her lover), goes out with his dog to a store to buy cigarettes and vanishes—no phone call or text—leaving his dog tied outside the store. The murdered woman turns out to be a Dane, Sofie Parker, who went missing 18 years earlier. That Eik was involved in Sofie’s case may explain his disappearance. Flashbacks to 1996 chart Sofie’s efforts to persuade her mother, who suffers from an incurable illness, not to commit suicide. Blaedel explores the ethical implications of assisted suicide, making it clear where she stands on the issue, but she fails to inject enough urgency and drama into a tale whose plot contrivances demand a large suspension of disbelief from the reader.

- content: Narrator Christine Lakin takes us across Europe and across time in this story of multiple murders, overlaid with a serious debate about assisted suicide. While Lakin successfully distinguishes male and female characters both old and young, she is challenged by differentiating characters from different countries. But, overall, her pacing and ability to convey tension will keep listeners engaged with the story. This is author Sara Blaedel's latest audiobook featuring Louise Rick, Danish detective in charge of the Special Search Agency. Lakin voices the emotionally complex Rick with credible intensity. It's not necessary to be familiar with the earlier books to pick up on the characters and their past entanglements. Once you finish this one, you'll be tempted to listen to the full series.

Starred review from January 1, 2017
The Danish "Queen of Crime" returns with an intensely personal, character-driven sixth installment to her "DI Louise Rick" series (after The Killing Forest). Rick heads Copenhagen's Special Search Agency--the Danish equivalent of a missing persons unit--yet most of the action here takes place in England. A housewife shot to death through her kitchen window is identified as Sofie Parker, a Danish citizen who's been missing for almost 20 years. And the man who reported her gone two decades ago? It turns out to be Eik NordstrOm, Rick's police colleague and now lover (most days, at least), who's as impetuous as Rick is methodical and measured. Off to England to investigate Sofie's death, Eik becomes the prime suspect and is soon jailed on suspicion of murder. Rick is determined to get to the bottom of what is turning into an increasingly bizarre case. Sofie's reasons for disappearing not only lend emotional resonance to an already deeply fraught book but also weave the controversial subject of assisted suicide into a complex plot. VERDICT As one of the preeminent voices in contemporary Scandinavian crime fiction, Blaedel solidifies once more why her novels are as much finely drawn character studies as tightly plotted procedurals, always landing with a punch to the gut and the heart. [See Prepub Alert, 8/26/16.]

Inspector Louise Rick, head of Denmark's special search agency, is anticipating happiness with her partner, Eik Nordstrom, at work and in life, even though they can't continue their personal relationship and also work together. Then Eik abruptly disappears. He's found days later in England, where housewife Sofie ParkerEik's girlfriend who went missing nearly 18 years ago and for whom he desperately searchedwas just coldly murdered. Eik's behavior leads to his estrangement from Louise and jail time as a suspect, before the same rifle that killed Sofie was found to have been used in similar recent murders in Denmark. Louise and colleagues follow mysterious money transfers to an account managed by Sofie before they uncover the link between victims and the root cause of the killings. Blaedel, Denmark's most popular author, is known for her dark mysteries, and she examines the controversial social issue at the heart of this novel, but ends on a surprisingly light note. Another winner from Blaedel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
