The Anna Glad series by Eva Frantz continues in Denmark, where Gyldendal has acquired the rights to the two final books.
Crime readers rejoice: Gyldendal in Denmark has acquired the rights to the two final books in the Anna Glad series by Eva Frantz. The Anna Glad series by Eva Frantz has been a great success domestically and internationally, having already travelled to Estonia, Germany, Denmark and Norway, and it has peaked this summer with Then Die Contentedly, preceded by You Will Not Take My Child.
In You Will Not Take My Child Tomas, Anna’s partner, is staying home with Gottfrid, their son, and becomes a little too involved in a child custody case that has unexpected ties to the murder investigation that Anna is leading at the police station. Touching on social issues like abuse, children’s rights, and school violence, You Will Not Take My Child was received warmly and paved the way for a great final chapter of the series.
In Then Die Contentedly four women gather to spend an autumn evening together: Krisse, Hannele, Sylvia, and Britt got to know each other at the end of the 1990’s when they sang in the same student choir, and started the tradition of having a girls’ night every summer, with crayfish and snaps on the menu. It is a fancy crayfish party with all needed drinks, and the night is festive. But when day dawns, only two women wake up at the old house: one, Krisse, is dead and another, Sylvia, is missing. Anna Glad is supposed to stay off the case, but her instinct and her curiosity have the best of her, and she’s soon entangled in a complex case held together by a web of lies and blackmailing. Touching on subjects like domestic violence and alcoholism, Then Die Contentedly is a fast-paced detective story with plenty of twists and turns.
Founded in 1770, Gyldendal is the oldest publishing company in Denmark, and it is already the Danish home of the rest of the series.
Congratulations to the author and the publisher!
