Exposed
The novel I am reviewing in this post is Exposed by Liza Marklund which is an excellent book. Liza is a successful swedish author & cowrite Postcard Killers with James Patterson which is also reviewed on this site. She has also topped the book chart in every scandinavian country. This book has been translated from swedish. The plot is a stripper is found naked, strangled and murdered in a graveyard. Someone phones a newspapers hotline manned by Annika Bengtzon and she is given the remit to follow the story even though inexperienced. She discovers the suspect the police are after was no where near the murder scene when it was commited. He is covering for a government minister to avoid a scandal. There is a happy ending. Apparently Liza got the idea for the plot when she was a reporter & a minister went to a strip club & had several services all with union money. Liza won an award for her coverage of that story.
