The Butterfly House

Plot Details:
This is the second book in a series about Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner, two detectives in Denmark. I started reading the first book but haven't finished it yet. But I found this one to be more appealing, at least so far. Bodies have started popping up in fountains around Copenhagen, seemingly dead by a very cruel instrument designed to cause the victim to bleed out. A very painful way to die! Detective Werner is dealing with her newfound motherhood, but very much missing her job. Detective Kørner is struggling to find the perpetrator in this case. Meanwhile, Esther, a novelist and also the landlady in The Tenant (the first book in the series), is having difficulties of her own.

My Thoughts:
This book was very intriguing, and I enjoyed it, but it was a bit slow at times. I did enjoy the character development and learning more about both Esther and the two detectives. Their lives were incorporated into the story, and they weren't just detectives with no lives outside their jobs. The mystery and different viewpoints was fascinating to read, and I hope to find out more about the story of these two Copenhagen detectives in future books in the series.
