Book 2

A Personal Touch

Cover image of 'A Personal Touch'. Anna and Christian dancing at a gala event. He is in tails, she in a blue dress with diamante decoration making it look like a star studded night

As journalist Anna Lendorph fears her ‘detective career’ is over, maybe it isn’t. Maybe her rather special skills are just the thing, when neighbours interfere, couriers don’t show up, a snake arrives in paradise, private detectives are something else, the pathologist turns match-maker and movie offers are on the agenda?

Journalist Anna Lendorph and detective Christian la Cour continue their collaboration in the hunt for burglars and murderers, not only in Copenhagen but also in Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, London, and New York. They were audacious, opportunistic, inventive… and so were the crims.

Historical, true, cosy crime anno 1910 with illustrations and a Fact and Fiction chapter. And just like in book one – the action starts on page one. No messing about.

Reviews

I took the book off the shelf and went to the kitchen to get some tea—I just wanted to browse through it again. An hour later, I was still standing at the kitchen counter, rereading. Anna and Christian became a sort of good friends; they are down-to-earth, diligent, thoughtful, and above all, hardworking. Their experiences in old Copenhagen, both the fine places and the more shady ones, together form a good foundation where the story—well, what is actually history and what is story—turns out to far surpass the imagination. Those bandits have really thought things through—but Anna and Christian, they are the smartest. Just bring on the next story—I’m ready.

‘The depiction of the era and environments in the novels is very clear and finely drawn…’
