About the Book



Detective Louise Rick uncovers dark secrets swirling around an inn in a seemingly idyllic tourist town in this propulsive new crime novel.



Book Synopsis



Detective Louise Rick uncovers dark secrets swirling around an inn in a seemingly idyllic tourist town in this propulsive new crime novel from #1 Danish bestselling sensation Sara Blaedel.

When innkeeper Dorthe Hyllested is found murdered, the police are surprised and puzzled to discover a concealed nursery in her upstairs apartment. As far as her friends and family knew, the recently widowed Dorthe was childless--so who lived in this secret toy-strewn room? And more importantly, where is the child now?

Detective Louise Rick has just taken on a challenging new job as head of the freshly created Mobile Task Unit, which is charged with solving the most difficult cases all over Denmark. With Dorthe's murder as her first investigation and the clock ticking to find the missing child, Louise is dismayed to learn that none of her handpicked group of seasoned investigators have been approved for transfer to her new unit. Instead, she must cobble together a brand-new, unproven team from a group of officers she's never met. Worst of all, the case will necessitate collaborating with the Missing Persons Department--which will mean working closely with Louise's former fiancé, Eik, who abruptly broke things off last year, leaving her devastated.

Could the mystery of Dorthe's murder and the hidden child have something to do with the cabin in the woods behind the inn where men are often seen coming and going at all hours? With no witnesses to Dorthe's murder and no real leads, and an unproven and potentially untrustworthy team behind her, Louise finds herself grasping at unlikely connections--but the twisted story she begins to uncover turns out to be darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined. . . .



Review Quotes




"In this eleventh episode, Louise Rick confronts the brass' bottom line, personal losses, and regrets: the resulting character evolution and the increasingly depraved case propel this haunting procedural." -Bookllist

"There's a reason that Sara Blaedel is a bestselling mystery author. Her novels often feel like being caught in a maze with so many possible twists and turns. A Mother's Love is an outstanding example of her talents. Just when the outcome seems clear, a dustup creates confusion and an eagerness to keep turning the pages. There's also a common theme running through this novel - the love a mother has for a child and how far she will go to protect that child, even commit an unspeakable crime." -Women Around Town

"Emotionally riveting, expertly plotted, and full of unexpected twists--Sara Blaedel is a masterful storyteller!" -Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author

"Sara Blaedel has woven emotion, atmosphere, and nail-biting suspense into yet another page-turner." -Tami Hoag, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author

"Starring a brilliant AND complex female investigator, A Mother's Love pulses with drama and conflict and ever-darkening twists. Sara Blaedel is a master at ratcheting up the tension." -Tess Gerritsen, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Spy Coast

"Edgy and original, A Mother's Love goes places you will never expect. With a tight and compelling voice and a twisting mystery that's in turns nail-biting and heartbreaking, Blaedel's latest is her best yet. So good it should be a crime." --J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing
