Murders in Northwood

I love this book. For me, it's a rather fascinating novel that stands out in particular for the complex relationship between the two main characters Anastasia and Natalie. The author has created an intriguing dynamic between the two women, whose relationship evolves over the course of the plot and which begins rather negatively with a titmouse between the two women. And even though the novel is a thriller focused on the investigation that will lead to the serial killer who strays into the fictional town of Northwood, the romance between Anastasia and Natalie adds a touch of emotion and vulnerability that gives the book additional depth, although it is obvious that this romance is not the central object of the story. What is interesting is that K. Bellmann approaches the subject of homosexuality with sensitivity and respect, offering a positive and authentic representation through several lesbian and bisexual characters. And, I have to say that the ending kinda took me off guard, with the revelation of who the killer is…
With its well-crafted plot and mysterious and interesting romance, this book is a novel that, I'm sure, will appeal to both detective story lovers and readers looking for well-written LGBT characters and unconventional endings.
