About this listen

Danish journalist Heloise Kaldan is in the middle of a nightmare when she receives the first in a series of cryptic letters from a woman named Anna Kiel. Wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a young lawyer three years earlier, Anna hasn't been seen since. The police think she's fled the country, until the reporter who originally wrote about the case is found murdered. Has Anna Kiel struck again, or is there more than one killer at large? And why does every clue point directly to Heloise Kaldan? As Heloise starts digging deeper, she realises that to tell Anna's story she will have to revisit the darkest parts of her own past.

The book is written in a light way and its characters are sympathetic and sometimes funny. Combined with a decent narration, The Corpse Flower is quite easy to listen to. Sadly, the story side is somewhat meh. The main protagonist goes on interviewing people, hoping to find out more about the killer on the loose but it just gets nowhere. It neither adds to the mystery nor puts any pieces of the puzzle together, it's just there. There is hardly any suspense in the story and there are no plot twists. You go straight from the beginning to the end.
It's a good gap filler and a good choice when you have some spare Audible credit but other than that you won't probably even remember it after a month or two.
