A rookie homicide detective and her best friend, a hard-driving crime reporter, work two cases following parallel lines; a strangled young woman and a reporter whose death is originally reported as an accident. They tackle them alongside each other, and at odds as well, leading to an explosive conclusion in Sara Blaedel's The Midnight Witness.
Blaedel is a popular Danish author, and I thought this book hit solid, but familiar, crime beats. The best parts are the Copenhagen setting with its cultural aspects, as well as the main characters and their friendship.
This was a good outing in her long-running series and of interest to fans of international police procedurals.
I listened to this on audiobook on loan from the Henry County-New Castle Public Library in New Castle, Indiana.
