Why Didn't They Call Evensen

When politician Arne Gustavsen is found dead beneath the sailing club tower, the police suspect murder. But with a tangled web of political enemies, scorned lovers, and shady developers, everyone seems to have a motive.

Private investigator Olivia Henriksen thought she'd left amateur detecting behind—until her client Sebastian Moe becomes the prime suspect. Now she must navigate small-town politics, religious sects, and a dangerous property developer to uncover the truth.

But when her brother Oskar disappears and Olivia realises the killer is closer than she thought, her investigation becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse. With poisonous mushrooms, bribes, and a luxury villa in the French Riviera all playing their part, she discovers that in the world of Nordic politics, everyone has secrets worth killing for.

As bodies pile up and time runs out, Olivia must use all her wits to save her brother and expose a murderer who will stop at nothing to protect their carefully constructed lies.

The second book in the Island Mysteries series featuring the unforgettable Olivia Henriksen.
