ILKA VENDER HEJM – THE RETURN

By Sara Blædel

THE RETURN IS the riveting new novel from Denmark’s No. 1 best selling female author, Sara Blædel.

FORTYSOMETHING ILKA JENSEN has been kicked out of the US where she has been working as an undertaker, and is now back in Copenhagen. Life is not easy for her. She is caught “borrowing” money from the cash register at the bar where she works and is subsequently fired. Fortunately, her old friend John comes to her rescue offering shelter and a helping hand. John gets her a new job as an undertaker, and her first task is to transport the body of dead landowner to Denmark’s fourth biggest island Lolland. Little does she know that the meeting with the landowner’s family offers horse fraud, love, murder and drama…

WITH THE RETURN, Sara Blædel gives us a reading experience filled with suspense, drama and humour. Her talent for creating realistic characters breathes life into a story that lies perfectly in the sweet spot between a page-turner and epic drama. For fans of Midsomer Murders, Broadchurch, Death in Paradise and Sherlock.
