DJ's Bait in the Box # 12

[The bait box is my own - the most suitable one I could find for this week]

This is the second novel in a series, but if you have read it in English, you may be justified in regarding it as the first.

“His face landed on the hard-trodden gravel path with full force, smashing his glasses and causing any number of secondary injuries. Blood was pouring out of his throat, from above and below, and when the murderer carefully dragged him into the bushes, he could still hear a faint bubbling sound. …
Twenty minutes later he was sitting at his kitchen table with a steaming cup of tea, listening to the bath slowly filling up. If his wife had still been with him, she would doubtless have asked if he´d had a hard day, and if he was very tired.”

The rules

Gæt en bog # 12.
Denne krimi er den anden i en længere, skandinavisk serie.

”Ansigtet ramte den hårde grusgang med fuld kraft, brillerne blev smadret, og der opstod en del sekundære skader. Blodet fossede ud af struben både foran på halsen og i nakken. Og da morderen forsigtigt trak sit offer ind i buskene ved siden af stien, kunne han stadigvæk høre en svag, boblende lyd… '
Tyve minutter senere sad han ved sit køkkenbord med en dampende kop te og lyttede til badekarret, der langsomt var ved at blive fyldt. Hvis hans hustru stadigvæk havde været hos ham, ville hun sikkert have spurgt, om det havde været en hård dag, og om han var meget træt.”
