Anna Grue

In a quiet provincial Danish town, something is afoot. The volunteers of the local second-hand shop keep dying. 

Since they’re all OAP's, the police can’t see the problem. It’s the inevitable – if unfortunate – circle of life. However, resident busy-body, and force-to-be-reckoned-with, Anne-Maj Mortensen is not so sure. She may be newly retired herself, but she still has her wits about her and knows when something needs a little investigating... 

Scandi crime, but not as you’ve ever seen it before. The 'Danish Miss Marple' will thrill fans of Richard Osman's 'The Thursday Murder Club' and Anthony Horowitz' 'Hawthorne' series. 

Anne Grue is one of the most popular Danish crime novelists. Grue made her breakthrough with the crime novels about the detective Dan Sommerdahl which was adapted for tv, starring Peter Mygind and Laura Drasbæk - directed by Kenneth Kainz also known for his work on Netflix’s ‘The Rain’.
