Telemystery News: Amazon Studios Reportedly Developing Crime Drama Based on the Nina Borg Mysteries by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis

Amazon Studios is reported developing a drama based on the Nina Borg mysteries by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis. The character was introduced in The Boy in the Suitcase, published by Soho Crime in 2011. Kirsten Sheridan will write the script.

We actually didn't enjoy The Boy in the Suitcase, the premise being so hard to accept — "that an intelligent and caring woman, whose job involves to a large degree the safety and security of children, finds a boy stuffed into a suitcase and doesn't notify the authorities" — that it interfered with our enjoyment of the overall mystery. We weren't all that keen on the second in the series, either, saying that Invisible Murder was "far too heavy on social commentary and far too light on crime and suspense". Still, a case can be made that a crime drama with nurse Nina Borg as the central character could work given a credible storyline.
