Book Review:
Sara Blaedel, the ''Queen of Danish Crime,'' delivers a tense and gripping thriller with ''The Silent Women.'' Detective Louise Rick is called to a quiet Copenhagen neighborhood where a young woman has been left bound and gagged after a brutal rape. The victim, Susanne, met her attacker on a popular dating website, but the man has covered his tracks with a web of false identities. With the internet as his hunting ground, the rapist can target an endless number of victims—and unless Louise can unmask him, he will strike again. Blaedel masterfully weaves a heartbreaking social history into an edge-of-your-chair thriller, creating a detective who is as emotionally rich as a close friend. As Oprah.com raves, this is storytelling at its finest. Perfect for fans of Nordic noir and readers who appreciate strong female protagonists and deeply suspenseful plots.
