Sweden - Lind & Co
When violence expert Mia Bach and freelance journalist Hedda Wall meet in group therapy for stress management, they have no idea that they will form an odd private detective duo. But that's exactly what happens.
Mia, who cooperates with the police, involves Hedda in an investigation where four elderly women have been poisoned. Or if Hedda rather involves herself. After all, she could nestle herself in almost everywhere, even in people's hearts. Yet, she is so very lonely, and she will find that so is Mia too. They need each other more than just as detective partners.
Hedda is constantly broke but rich in crazy ideas and strong emotions. She works nights, doesn't hesitate to break the law in pursuit of a scoop, loves her cat and falls in love with a bank robber who sits on the Hall.
Mia constantly sets everything aside to help others and especially abused women. She wakes up around the time Hedda goes to bed, never breaks the law, is allergic to cats and still have some hopes concerning her boring ex.
How will these two women - who are so different and yet so similar - be able to pin down a proposed poisoner? Who is he? What is his motive? Who does he want for dinner next?
Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is Part 1 in the series Bach & Wall
Quote from the book:
"I apologize for how I appeared in the group therapy, but I'll probably have to decline the interview this time," Mia says, suddenly sternly.
Hedda flinches when she meets Mia's gaze. This woman is not to be trifled with. She is strong. Violently strong. It is rare to meet someone who is, so to speak, in the same division in terms of tenacity, capacity and passion.
Hedda says "I know I'm annoying," she doesn't want to let go of Mia. “But I was listening to you on a podcast about violence in the home and you said you were used to dealing with difficult people. So, what does one more matter?”
