Marit Reiersgård
Paradise Hill

Almost 25 years have passed since Camilla Carlsen was found murdered in the small grove halfway up Paradise Hill. The case was never solved and the Drammen police are now making another effort, hoping that fresh eyes and new methods will solve the mystery.
Camilla’s closest female friends have all been freshly interrogated and meet at a tavern to discuss their experiences and recollections from the time of the murder. One of the friends, May, is being stared at by a man at the bar and when May goes outside to have a smoke, the man follows. The next morning she is found murdered in a show window and the way in which the body has been arranged reveals that the killer wants to convey a message.
The police investigators Bitte Røed and Verner Jacobsen have to pursue both the ghosts of the past and the fresh clues of the present.

Reiersgård is a solid author with a strong grip on storylines as well as characters, and there is a quivering nerve throughout her stories … Her books make an impression and it is rather impossible to read them and not get affected.
