Product Information

He finishes: “If by some miracle I get all the answers, I’d feel relieved in one sense but empty in another sense. None of the local residents, even the girl's parents, want to cooperate with the Detective. The cult, devoutly religious islanders, are definitly hiding something, but what could it be? Has it something to do with the murder? The 2000 film ends with a quote from Walt Whitman's poem "On the Beach at Night", describing how a father comforts his small daughter who is frightened as an approaching cloud bank blots out the evening stars one by one. [7] Although Whitman's poem resembles the plot of Shute's novel, the book does not reference it, as it does Eliot's poem. At the onset it seems as if the parents do not care - her father did not even join the group in its initial search and this strikes most people as odd but Lena the detective knows there is more than meets the eye. Is everyone actually shielding the murderer and how do they unravel the very few pieces of evidence they have to link to their killer. This is not a high octane read but rather a painstaking examination of Maria’s life and last few weeks. I couldn’t help but feel heart sorry for her circumstances but at the same time I never felt that she came alive as a person. This too, I imagine, is reflective of real police work - too many people with different views of the same person.

Death on the Beach - Anna Johannsen- “A fourteen-year-old girl disappears on the small island of Föhr, and Detective Lena Lorenzen is called in to investigate. When the girl’s bloodied body is found on the beach with vicious wounds to the wrist, Lena immediately suspects that what’s been made to look like suicide was in fact a brutal and calculated murder. But the local residents—even the girl’s own parents—won’t cooperate with her investigation. The devoutly religious islanders are clearly hiding something. But what ungodly secret could possibly lead to the murder of an innocent teenage girl?”Death on the Beach is book 2 in Anna Johannsen's Island Murder series. I hadn't read book 1 in the series, but feel that the story continues well enough that you can read this as a stand alone book. There were some references to a previous case and previous relationships, probably discussed in the first book, but the book could stand alone.

The lead character is Detective Lena Lorenzen. She has a boyfriend that she can’t make up her mind about....her indecisiveness started to get a bit tiring to read about. Overall, I really enjoyed the story plot and writing style. I very much look forward to reading the next book in this series.I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my review. Thank you to the author, publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. p.11. ISBN 0-942487-01-X. The whole police procedural part of the book is captivating, and it’s not a book you want to put down. It unfortunately all leads to quite an anticlimactic ending, making the reader feel like he spent time working to solve the puzzle for nothing. Not that it isn’t realistic, in a police investigation sense, but realistic doesn’t always make for good crime books endings.
