About this deal

The submarine approaches San Francisco, observing through the periscope that the city had been devastated and the Golden Gate Bridge has fallen. In contrast, the Puget Sound area, from which the strange radio signals are emanating, is found to have avoided destruction because of missile defences. One crew member, who is from Edmonds, Washington, which the expedition visits, jumps ship to spend his last days in his home town. However, when the girl is found dead, Lorenzen takes charge of the investigation, and things start to change.

An ultra conservative religious group, closing guarding their members from any attention is not the ideal group when a teenager of one of their families is found murdered on the beach. Seen as uncooperative and unwilling to divulge any information, not allowing access to their houses, cars is not helping the detectives on the case.Maria, an only fourteen-year-old girl, suddenly disappears on the small Island Föhr. Detective Lena Lorenzen, who is nearby is called in for the investigation. Eventhough the bodie of the girl is found with vicious wounds on the wrist, Lorenzen immediatelly thinks that I can't be suicide and Maria must have been murdered. Apart from the ugly circumstances around Maria's death, also exposed are the community's prejudices, bullying, and less than stellar police work. This is a well-constructed but complex story. The characters are well developed and realistic. They have problems and doubts and don’t always agree on procedure or lines of investigation, but Lena steers a tight ship and has the last word on those things. Usually, she’s right, as well. She has her own personal problems on the islands though. There’s her father with whom she hasn’t spoken in years that wants her forgiveness. Her island boyfriend may want to move their relationship up to the next level, as long-distance relations are far from ideal, but Lena is not quite ready for this. On top of that, a former one-night-stand joins her team for the investigation and he also might want more. She can relate very well to the victim, being brought up on the secluded islands that can feel as a prison and without the religious content though. Book 2 in this Island Mystery series. This second novel has for me established this as a new crime / police procedural set of stories set among the North Frisian islands.

Lena Lorenzen in on holiday on her home island of Amrun, after a first case during which she rekindled her relationship with her boyfriend of fourteen years ago. Her Superintendent asks her, as a favour, to help local authorities to look into the disappearance of a teenage girl on the neighbour island of Föhr, whose parents belong to a extreme conservative free church considered a sect by most of the islanders. Her relationship with her DSU having improved thanks to her first case, she accepts the assignment.Second instalment in the "Island Mystery" series, "Death on the beach" is a good example of a pretty entertaining police procedural. 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. At the onset it seems as if the parents do not care - her father did not even join the group in its initial search and this strikes most people as odd but Lena the detective knows there is more than meets the eye. Is everyone actually shielding the murderer and how do they unravel the very few pieces of evidence they have to link to their killer. The Australian government provides citizens with free suicide pills and injections so they can avoid prolonged suffering from radiation poisoning. Periodic reports show the steady southward progression of the deadly radiation. As communications are lost with a city, it is referred to as being "out." It was an entertaining enough police procedural but I would have liked a bit more personal growth on the main character, but hopefully we'll see some of that on book 3.
