MYSTERIET I GENBRUGSEN – THE CHARITY SHOP MYSTERY

By Anna Grue

THE FORMER MEDICAL secretary Anne-Maj Mortensen has pretty much always lived alone and is used to doing things her own way: no one needs to disturb her when she is cooking or get involved with her weight being a bit too much. When a series of murders amongst the recycling volunteers takes place, Anne-Maj begins her own, albeit clumsy but thorough investigation alongside the police. 

GRUE’S COZY CRIME is a showcase of human complacency, social pretense, embarrassing power struggles over territories, and Grue captures the very relatable but perhaps less flattering aspects of her characters .
