Set on an island off the Danish coast, the people are already well known to each other. Everyone seems to be stone walling the detectives and pressure is mounting to solve the case at the earliest. Even in this day and age arranged marriages within the community, implicit obedience, and the husband as head of the house prevents the detectives from getting any information vital to the case. The second book in the Island Mystery series by German author Anna Johannsen, DEATH ON THE BEACH has been masterfully translated Jozef Van Der Voort so that the story and its prose flow seamlessly. You lose nothing in translation and it feels as if it has been written in the Queen's English. The prose is so atmospheric I felt as if I was on the North Freisland island myself. This is the second book I have read in the series and I have loved both of them. The characters are realistic and you feel empathy for them. When they go visit a family in this book I felt like I was there with them. This was my first read by Anna Johannsen and it is certainly a fast-paced crime thriller! It is the second book in ‘The Island Mystery Series’ which can also be read independently.

The investigation is led by DI Lena Lorenzen, and immediately she finds defiance and resistance from all directions. She and her colleague, Johann, make a great team. Soon they discover that Maria has actually been murdered and even her parents resent Lena’s probing questions. They belong to a rather puritanical religious cult, and so do many of the islanders, all with their strident beliefs.And after looking at the report, the toxicologist confirms it’s possible to have blood coming from your nose if you’ve overdosed. 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. Sometimes, I fail to realize that a book is part of a series when I initially request it. Unfortunately for me, this was the second in this series. I wasn't totally lost, but I think that I definitely could have benefited from reading the prior book, unless that is the American in me.
