Title: Her Father’s Secret
Author: Sara Blaedel
Series: Ilka/The Family Secrets series, #2
Published: March 2019, Grand Central Publishing
Format: Hardcover, 320 pages
Summary:
A woman’s murder is
only the beginning as a daughter races to unravel the maze of secrets
her father left behind–before she becomes the next victim–in the
latest emotionally gripping novel from Sara Blaedel, #1 internationally
bestselling author with over 3 million copies sold worldwide.
After
suddenly inheriting a funeral home from her father–who she hadn’t
heard from in decades–Ilka Jensen has impulsively abandoned her quiet
life in Denmark to visit the small town in rural Wisconsin where her
father lived. There, she’s devastated to discover her father’s second
family: a stepmother and two half sisters she never knew existed. And
who aren’t the least bit welcoming, despite Ilka’s efforts to reach out.
Then
a local woman is killed, seemingly the unfortunate victim of a home
invasion turned violent. But when Ilka learns that the woman knew her
father, it becomes increasingly clear that she may not have been a
completely random victim after all.
The more Ilka digs into her
father’s past, the more deeply entangled she becomes in a family drama
that has spanned decades and claimed more than one life–and she may be
the next victim…

I don't often read thrillers or crime novels, but I'm all about Scandinavian authors, so I'm in! Thanks for hosting this
I never start a series in the middle. If I’m intrigued by a book I will go back to read the series from the beginning to get to the book.
When I learn about a series I start with the first book and continue to read the entire series.
I prefer to start at the beginning of a series, but I have started some in the middle and will go back and read the first books.
i prefer to start with the first book – but some series don't really matter for instance if its maybe the same detective but a different case
If it's easy to read without having started at the beginning, I don't mind jumping in the middle. Some series don't make sense without starting with #1, though.
