MULTIPLE BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND THE 2025 GLOBAL BOOK AWARDS WINNER FOR A VERY STICKY MURDER.

Copenhagen in late winter promises candles, canals, and comfort food—not murder.

When international food critic Darcy Finnegan arrives to sample Denmark’s coziest cuisine and quietly plan her European elopement, she expects hygge, pastries, and good coffee. What she doesn’t expect is the murder of an elite Danish customs inspector—and her Schnoodle, Mozart, obsessively sniffing a suspicious shipment of gourmet coffee beans.

Ignoring the firm objections of her Interpol fiancé, Darcy follows the inspector’s final trail through roasteries, Michelin kitchens, and candlelit cafés. With help from her fearless photojournalist best friend, she uncovers a hidden world of high-end culinary smuggling, where rare delicacies are concealed inside luxury imports—and silence is deadly.

As suspects close in and a heart-stopping ride over the treetops of Tivoli Gardens nearly claims Darcy herself, she must expose a killer hiding in plain sight.

Because in Copenhagen, even comfort food can conceal lethal secrets.

Bonus Recipe Included!
ALL CLEAN BOOKS IN THE SERIES CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE.

My Review:

Darcy and Marcus have traveled to Denmark to tie the knot. Naturally, Mozart, Darcy’s Schnoodle, along with her best friend Lizzie, who works as a photojournalist, are there to witness this joyous occasion.

Darcy's primary reason for being in Denmark is to indulge in its exquisite cuisine and to marry the man she adores, not to get entangled in the demise of a high-ranking Danish customs officer. Marcus cautions Darcy to steer clear of the ongoing investigation, but that’s simply not in her nature, despite his wishes for her to back off.

Especially when the evidence is practically right in front of her, she finds it irresistible to follow every lead. It’s just part of who she is, right? To top it off, Mozart is right there, sniffing out each clue with a little sneeze.

Death in Denmark is the eleventh installment in the Darcy and Mozart Cozy Culinary Mystery series by Greta Sinclair, and it proves to be another fantastic addition to the series. The blend of mystery and suspense, along with the antics of Mozart and Darcy, ensures that the pages keep turning as each piece of the puzzle is uncovered.

I am eagerly looking forward to diving into more of this delightful series to discover where Darcy and Mozart's next food adventure will take them and what surprises await.

As always, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Death in Denmark today so you can experience life in Denmark alongside Darcy and Mozart!

Contemporary/Women's/Romance

Date Published: 02-24-2026

Publisher: She Writes Press

A mouth-watering home run of a beach read, this lighthearted romantic comedy featuring a newly widowed fortysomething takes the reader on a joyful romp through-out some of Chicago’s finest eateries—with a dash of Cubs baseball on the side.

In the heart of Chicago, forty-five-year-old Angie Sortino finds herself at a crossroads. Recently widowed, she discovers that her deceased husband, Vinnie, has left her penniless, and she is forced to take a job at Chicago City Hall as a cleaning woman until Vinnie’s City pension can be cleared up. Then her spirited twenty-two-year-old niece, Gina Paloni, and her best friend Kim Yang, approach her with a dream of starting a catering company targeting funeral parlors—and Angie sees a chance to reawaken her own culinary aspirations.

As the three women embark on this new venture, they face the challenges of the catering business, from securing clients to perfecting their menu. Angie and Gina’s love for the Chicago Cubs adds a playful twist to their journey, as they often find inspiration in the vibrant atmosphere of Wrigley Field. Gina’s youthful enthusiasm contrasts with Angie’s cautious nature, leading to hilarious mishaps, unexpected romantic encounters, and heartfelt moments.

Through late-night brainstorming sessions and spontaneous cooking experiments, Angie begins to find her voice, both in the kitchen and in her life. With the support of a respected funeral director, Gina and Kim, and an unexpected new love interest, Angie learns to embrace her worth and pursue happiness.

I've had stories in my head since I was a child. All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest. I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold. I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring. As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities." I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world. I hope you enjoy it!

God's Surprising Way: The Path to Lasting Joy, Healing, and Love guides readers into the upside-down kingdom of God, where human expectations are consistently overturned. In this transformative journey, the humble are exalted, the last are lifted, and true greatness is found through servanthood, surrender, and sacrificial love. Through Scripture, theological insights, and historical reflections-from Augustine and Luther to Bonhoeffer and Nouwen-readers discover how God's surprising ways cultivate lasting joy, deep healing, and authentic love.

Each chapter explores a distinct paradox of the gospel, demonstrating how humility, generosity, and obedience can transform relationships, communities, and personal faith. Practical reflections and prompts invite readers to integrate these principles into daily life-choosing forgiveness over resentment, service over recognition, and trust over control.

With accessible scholarship, devotional insight, and concrete application, this book reveals the practical power of God's reversals. It challenges conventional assumptions about success, power, and happiness, inviting believers to live counterculturally in alignment with Christ's teachings. God's Surprising Way is both an invitation and a roadmap: to encounter God's transformative presence, embody the values of the Kingdom, and experience joy, healing, and love that endure.

Read an Excerpt

Christianity begins with surprise! From the moment the Word became flesh, God has been showing us that His ways are not our ways. He made incarnate the Savior, not in a palace but in a stable. He was welcomed by shepherds first, the lowly, marginalized outcasts of society (Luke 2:8–12). Jesus continued to reverse our expectations throughout his life. He taught everyone that the last would be first, and the first last (Matthew 20:16), that the meek would inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5), and that greatness was about servanthood, not privilege or authority (Matthew 20:26–27). Everywhere he went, the crowds were astonished—they were forced to recalibrate their understanding of power, privilege, and God’s blessing.

This reversibility, what some have called the upside-down kingdom, is key to understanding the surprising way of God. Where we see strength, control, and recognition, He delights in lifting the humble, exalting the meek, and blessing the poor in spirit. This is what Augustine means when he observes, “In the wisdom of God, they are overturned, and what seemed to be less is more weighty than it seemed in the world” (Augustine 1998, 54). This is often the counterfactual logic of the kingdom: surrender as a means of power, weakness as a source of strength, and service as a path to greatness.

The scriptures are replete with examples of reversibility. Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers, and ultimately rules nations and saves them from famine (Genesis 50:20). David, the youngest and least regarded son of Jesse, becomes the greatest king of Israel (1 Samuel 16:11–13). The disciples, though zealously devoted to Jesus, have to learn that glory comes through humility, self-denial, and love for others (Mark 10:42–45). Jesus Himself modelled the supreme example; the Son of God, made majesty incarnate, suffers and dies, allowing defeat to become eternal victory.

Inviting us into the upside-down kingdom is more than a theological concept; it also shapes how we perceive our lives today. Our human assumptions—about success, happiness, and significance—are misguided. While learning to honour God’s surprising way, we see that consideration for a fleeting bit of favour from others gives way to joy, that surrender to God’s will yields health, and that loving others sacrificially through humble service changes relationships.

The upside-down kingdom is an invitation to see the world through God’s eyes—a way to fulfill what Jesus says; a way where “the last are first,” the “lowly are received” and “the hidden thing of love and service” is of eternal weight. The Paradox of Joy, Healing, and Love

In the upside-down kingdom, joy, healing, and love often appear to be contrary to human expectations. True joy is not the product of achievement, recognition, or comfort; healing is not always immediate; and love is rarely transactional. Instead, the Christian life invites believers into a paradox: the more we surrender, serve, and humble ourselves, the more these blessings flow into our lives.
