Coffee and kringle - with a bit of crime on the side?  

If you love a good mystery, join us for an afternoon with the celebrated Danish crime novelist, Sara Blaedel.  Author of an award-winning series of novels featuring investigator Louise Rick, Blaedel's newest novel, "The Killing Forest," will be released only days before her visit to Elk Horn.  

Sara Blaedel is the most popular author in Denmark, literally. She won the Martha Prize – The Readers Favorite Authors Prize – again in 2014, becoming the first Danish author to receive the prize four times. In the summer of 2014, she learned that she had won the Golden Laurel (De Gyldne Laurbær), the most prestigious Danish literary award, which is voted on nationally by Danish booksellers and can only be won once in a lifetime. Collectively, Blaedel’s dark, suspenseful stories reach one fifth of Denmark’s entire population, and her fan base is growing all the time. She is the author of nine bestselling crime fiction novels published in twenty three countries, translated into over thirteen languages, and optioned for film rights.

Kaffee, Krimi og Kringle / Coffee, Crime and Kringle will begin at 2pm at the Museum of Danish America.  Free to the public.  

Copies of "The Killing Forest" and "The Forgotten Girls" will be available for purchase in the museum's Design Store.
