This is the 2nd book in the Detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner series which takes place in Copenhagen Denmark. A paperboy discovers the naked body of a dead woman, lying in a fountain. All the blood has been drained from her body. Another body is found again lying in water with the same MO. Are the murders related to The Butterfly House, a psychiatric hospital for juveniles?
Jeppe is recovering from a painful divorce and Anette is on maternity leave. Anette is at home bored and decides to do a little freelance sleuthing. After a series of twists and turns, she ends up helping Jeppe solve the murders. The book kept me guessing all the way through and the ending proved to be a surprise to me. I look forward to reading the 3rd book in the series and highly recommend this one. Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery/Scout Press for a free copy for an honest review.

Having read The Tenant and The Harbor by Katrine Engberg I was glad to again âengage' with the characters of those books in The Butterfly House. It was engaging and kept me guessing as to âwho done it', although some of the things that happened seemed impossible to believe that they would happen in real life. It definitely has a scary thrill to it and what I would call more than one plot.
