About this audiobook
Leaving the Helsinki police force to put her new law degree to use, Maria Kallio is ready for a fresh start. But when she discovers a strangled body, old habits die hard for the redheaded sleuth—especially since the accused is related to her new boyfriend.
The police rush to close the case against the victim’s fiancé, but Maria is convinced they’ve got the wrong man and soon finds herself unofficially investigating the murder, now labeled a sex crime. To crack the case, Kallio will have to pull back the curtain on the secret dealings of Finnish high society…and uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.
Her Enemy, the second book in Lehtolainen’s international bestselling Nordic crime series, sends intrepid Detective Kallio to the dark side of human passion.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read almost all of her books in German when I was younger and I always loved Maria. Most female main characters bother me because there is so much unnecessary relationship drama I don't understand but Maria is not pretty, can befriend men & women and chooses boyfriends I actually like. If she was real I would probably have a crush on her.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am reading these Maria Kallio books in random order and I am absolutely thrilled with this interesting woman. Maria Kallio is not a character who would be convincing as an American. She is so definitively "other" – a true feminist, a free thinker, a woman in a position of responsibility, a committed life partner, a new mother. All these jobs are embraced with energy, intelligence, and an entirely human ambivalence. No, Maria Kallio is not an American.I received a review copy of "Her Enemy: The Maria Kallio Series Book 2" by Leena Lehtolainen translated by Owen F. Witesman (AmazonCrossing) through NetGalley.com.
