- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Call Me Princess by Sara Blaedel is the first book in her Louise Rick police procedural crime series. Set in Copenhagen, this first entry involves the case of a serial rapist who meets and sets up his victims by meeting them at on-line dating sites. I listened to an audio version of the book as read by Alice Barrett Mitchell who I thought did a very good job with the vocals.While there was nothing particularly outstanding in this story, it was a good solid procedural that came across in the audio version well. There is a good balance between the police work and the main characters’ home life with her friends and co-workers. The rape/violence towards woman angle was handled well and the author’s descriptions of the on-line world seemed accurate. As it lent itself so well to the audio medium I fully intend to continue listening rather than reading this series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the second book I've read in the series regarding a Danish crime detective, Louise Rick.I'm hooked on this series. Mystery books are usually not my genre, but increasingly, I'm embracing this field.When women who are using online dating sites for meeting men, unfortunately, some obtain more than they thought, including rape and bodies that are badly beaten. When one of the victims dies, the stakes are higher for Louis and her team mates to quickly find this brutal sociopath. Surprised at the information, people readily post on dating sites, there is an in depth look at the safety of posting your photo and personal information which can possibly draw the wrong kind of person.Fast paced, interesting, well written, I plan to continue to as many of the books I can obtain that are on the market and translated from Dutch to English.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The hot list of crime writers right now includes many from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Denmark. Here's another author from Denmark to add to your list.Call Me Princess marks Sara Blaedel's North American debut.Assistant Detective Louise Rick of the Copenhagen P.D. is called in on the case of Susanne Hansson - a woman who has been brutally sexually assaulted. As Rick delves into the case, she discovers that Susanne met her attacker through an online dating site. Susanne's not the only victim of this online Lothario. He know how to hide though - he's left virtually no clues.I enjoyed the character of Detective Rick and her interactions with her fellow officers. Blaedel has filled the department with an overbearing superior, a quiet family man partner and a publicity seeking chief. They were all comfortable if not original characters. The foray into Louise's personal life was a solid secondary story line. I did not like the best friend, newspaper reporter Camilla at all. She came across as a user of people. The interactions between her and Louse just never rang true as a best friend situation.Blaedel has peppered her story with lots of red herrings. Many of the male characters seemed they could be the perpetrator at one time or another - the ending provided a good twist. All in all, a solid police procedural utilizing current events as a effective plot device. It was an easy read - one that I was happy to pick up. For me, enjoyable but not outstanding.Blaedel has an interesting background. She founded the first publishing house dedicated to crime fiction in Denmark. She was then inspired to write her own detective novels which have landed on the Danish bestseller lists. She has been voted the most popular novelist in Denmark in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A brutal rape and beating, online dating and a criminal investigation, these are the primary components in Call Me Princess by Sara Blaedel. Although this story doesn't provide extreme graphic descriptions of the rape, it does start with a graphic description of the beating. This was just a bit off-putting but it does set the tone for the story. All at once we're forced to view a situation that puts us off balance while immediately becoming sympathetic with the victim and despising the perpetrator. We're brought back to an even keel when introduced to police inspector Louise Rick. Louise is called out to investigate and feels for the victim as she walks her through the initial interviews and physical examinations. Louise continues her investigation and quickly realizes that this is a serial rapist finding his victims online. Regrettably the next victim is murdered before the rapist can be caught. While Louise battles for her victim and pursues her investigation she must also deal with co-workers, family, friends and her live-in significant other. Louise is also concerned for the safety of her best friend Camilla because she's made a foray into the world of online dating and is meeting her new "friend" at her home. Camilla is a journalist familiar with the hazards of online dating but feels she's savvy enough to know when someone is trying to take advantage. As the police continue their investigation they realize that the only way to catch the rapist is perhaps to catch him online using Louise as bait. All of the characters, dialogue and scenes in Call Me Princess seem quite realistic and credible. The investigatory process and politics were actually quite interesting to read about. Ms. Blaedel starts the story off with a jolt and continues with a high-energy criminal investigation. Call Me Princess is a good suspense read with lots of intrigue and heartfelt emotion.
