Dicte is at a yard party when she sees smoke coming from the neighbors car. It looks like a practical joke until a woman is found hanged in the foyer of the house. Soon, there are all sorts of suspects, including a wayward daughter. There are extreme religious symbols all over the place. The kicker is that it would have take an extremely strong person to simulate the hanging (it turns out she was dead before she was hanged). This episode give us a bit more development of the characters. Dicte is suspected of being a home wrecker but has nothing to do with the guy other than working with him. The daughter, Rose, is still having adjustment problems.

Little to report

Second entertaining episode of the new-to-me Danish crime drama with feisty forty- something newspaper crime reporter again funding herself close to the action. When looks-like-suicide-but-you-know-it-isn't occurs in her neighbour's house, Dicte naturally enough investigates and suspects foul-play and if course she's not wrong.
Naturally characters and situations develop a little more from the first double episode, so her relationship with her daughter gets deeper, especially when the latter indirectly finds out that her mother gave up her first child to the care of her religiously steadfast parents, her frisky friends talk freely about sex and she bonds a little more with the womanising Maverick reporter colleague who she lets stay with her overnight and of course the grudgingly admiring detective who she apparently can't stop bumping into.
The whodunit crime story played out well with some sprinklings of risqué humour confirming its post-watershed time slot. The running thread in the background will probably either be her quest for her now grown up soon and romance (or possibly just sex) with one of the two guys mentioned above.
I'm okay with these things as I quite like the character but just hope they don't get in the way of some good yarns too.
Time will tell...
