Description:In the depths of the
Nordic winter, the beautiful Island of Aero is steeped in pre-Christmas
cheer and Danish hygge. But in one dark and forbidding attic, a gruesome
secret waits to be discovered.
Two Italian sexagenarians and
a stubborn, loveable Basset Hound are travelling across the sea to the
historic town of Ærøskøbing. The ever-positive Dora is clasping her
hands in delight at the prospect of their latest homeswap; her more
feisty friend Etta is picking a fight with an equally belligerent Danish
woman; and Leon? Well, Leon is saving a small child from certain death.
Just another day in the life of a brave and noble dog.
Little do
the three travellers know just how significant the people they meet
during the ferry crossing are going to become over the next couple of
weeks. As Aero rises before them from the Baltic Sea, an unsolved
murder, a mythical treasure, an unrequited love and a bitter family feud
await them. Can the analytical Etta, empathetic Dora and sharp-nosed
Leon finally lay the dead to rest and lead the living to the happiest of
Christmases? And who is destined to receive the most precious gift of
all?
An Aero Island
