Publisher's summary

After solving her first murder and leaving the Helsinki Police Department behind, Maria Kallio thought that a move to the neighboring city of Espoo would signal a fresh start - a chance to not only put her new law degree to use but to nurture her budding romance with Antti Sarkela. But when she discovers the strangled body of a new acquaintance, old habits die hard for the redheaded sleuth - especially since the accused is not only the victim's fiancé but a member of Antti's family. Though she works as a legal counselor, Kallio soon finds herself unofficially investigating the murder, now labeled a sex crime. While Antti's relative may have some peculiar sexual tendencies, Kallio doubts that the man she's agreed to defend is capable of the crime. To crack the case, Kallio will have to pull back the curtain on Espoo high society…and uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. Her Enemy, the latest addition to Lehtolainen's bestselling crime series, sends intrepid Detective Kallio into the dark side of human passion.

All novels in this series were released...

...during the 1990's in the Finnish language. I have already reviewed novels 3 - 6 of the Maria Kallio series. This is novel 2. The series genre is modern detective and the novels I have reviewed so far are solid 4 or 5 star detective suspense thrillers. Amy Rubinate's narration of the series is consistently outstanding. Those who have Kindle Unlimited memberships can borrow and listen to the Audible versions of the novels for no additional cost (the cost is included in the membership). The Audio books are inexpensive to purchase using Whispersync for Voice.

Wretched pronunciations!

Liked this better than the first in the series which I couldn’t complete. Interesting plot with sometimes stiff writing which may be the translation, but can no one take 10 minutes to teach the narrator how to pronounce Finnish names properly? Or just hire a Finnish narrator maybe? The mispronunciations are so horrible it’s incredibly distracting. Sounds like a typical American who’s too arrogant to learn foreign names. Doesn’t it bother the author that her character’s names are getting butchered?!? Would love to hear this series read by a Finnish narrator!

the names and places were pronounced so badly.

I actually were confused at times about the the characters and location. Story was great, but I wish the narrator would take interest in pronouncing at least the names correctly.

Her Enemy

This was a good audible book. The narrator was easy to listen to. The book was suspenseful and has a great ending.
