Blue Blue Eyes: Crime Novel (41 page)

”But you know what, I actually called for a completely different reason. Just a moment ago we had a report of a woman who disappeared from a health trip here in Spain. Funnily enough I came to think of you since she’s both Swedish and from Gothenburg. Her name is similar to yours. Her name is Charlie Fransson Swahn”

THANK YOU!

First of all I’d like to thank my beloved husband and largest sounding board, Ulf Anderson, for all your support and love. What would I have done without you? You are not only the love of my life but also my best friend. Thank you for always being there and believing in me.

Thanks also to my family and to my children Anton and August for all their cheering and a special thanks to August who came up with the book’s title. I love you. Oscar and Hampus, a big thank you for your valuable opinions and ideas.

Kia, more than 30 years of friendship. No need for words. You know what you mean to me. Thanks for all your important viewpoints during the journey. Thanks to all you other friends, nobody mentioned but nobody forgotten.

A great thanks for your patience Nicky Kirby, finally there was a book jacket which I’m insanely proud of and happy with as well as the press release. And all you blog readers, what a source of inspiration you are.

This story is completely invented and all similarities between the characters in the book and real persons are absolutely unintentional. I’ve taken the liberty to change the environments to benefit the story.

Any mistakes which have crept in are always my own but one word is a conscious mistake....
