Solving Solvang: The Copenhagen Murders



Rainy morgen on Alisal Road, California's Danish burg begins to start and stir, as Mormor's oven begins to wake and warm

Dreessen's Bakery, long since awake, busies and bustles, so many treasures to bake

Kringle, dream cakes, butter rings, æebleskiver and kaffee

Morning treats so luscious and fine, "Hygge!" he might exclaim, the Old one once called Gorm



Yet the charmed life is not so placid, on Solvang's sunny field

Treachery and conspiracy hang palatably in the air

Like the arresting, hovering waft of Ingeborg's chocolate cloud

Mystery slowly peels, here and abroad, giving way to scandal, someone's fate is already sealed



Dagmar Dreessen, Solvang sixth-gen, for little does she know

In her Danish ancestors' pioneer town, this California København

Intrigue decants and patiently breathes, like a Fergalicious, prodigious red

Notes of saddle, pepper, smoky plum and murder float on the wind, the piquant mistral of mystery is just starting to blow




*Solving Solvang: The Copenhagen Murders is the working title of author Jennifer Susannah Devore's sequel - a murder mystery mis-en-scène in Solvang, California - to her contempo novel, The Darlings of Orange County.
