The Body on the Beach
The Body on the Beach | Anna Johannsen
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
One victim. One murderer. Which of them is guilty? A man is found dead on a beach on a small island off the coast of Germany. The gruesome discovery rocks the close-knit community of Amrum: in a town where nothing stays secret for long, who among them has a motive for murder? DI Lena Lorenzen is brought in to investigate. For her, it is an unwelcome homecoming to the isolated island she turned her back on fourteen years ago. But now her past - and the island's - is catching up with her. As her investigation leads her to a children's home, where rumours of abuse by the murder victim are rife, she learns that the town she thought she knew housed secrets darker than nightmares. When it becomes clear that this is just the beginning, Lorenzen is faced with an unenviable task: in a case where the victims have blood on their hands, can she bring the true criminal to justice?

Confession: I did not remember purchasing this through Audible, yet it was in my library. But, I‘m glad it was there!

This is a slow burn as the reader learns, along with the detectives, that a simple case of a body on the beach is not simple. There is a sinister storyline underneath of this. I liked it so much I purchased book two to listen to soon!

My first time listening to a German detective story. I‘ll have to find more German mysteries.

Inspector Lena Lorenzen is ask if she will go back to the island she grew up on and solve a murder. She is assigned Detective Sergeant Johann Grasmann from another town, she questions if they will be able to work well together but very soon she finds out he is a great worker. The victim was over a children's home. They question the staff and community members.
I found this to be interesting and look forward to more from the author.
