Blurb:
When two cold case disappearances are reopened, a decade of deadly secrets is unearthed on Sandhamn Island in the #1 bestselling thriller by Viveca Sten, author of In Bad Company.
A woman’s skeletal remains are excavated on an uninhabited island in Sandhamn’s archipelago, and Thomas Andreasson is called to officially investigate. But his best friend, Nora Linde, can’t help but get involved.
On leave after her last case took a dark turn, Nora is tortured by depression, nightmares, and guilt. Her marriage fractured, her pride chipped away, Nora could find redemption in this investigation. Then evidence suggests two possible cold cases linked to the grim discovery: two women who have been missing for ten years. Now Nora feels compelled to unearth a mystery someone has gone to great pains to bury. What could have happened to require such a cover-up?
As the cold case vanishings converge, Nora follows a twisting trail of revenge, blackmail, and betrayal. She’s also inviting the watchful eye of someone determined to stop her. To free herself from the damaging grip of the past—and the reach of a relentless killer—Nora is going to have to brave the darkness one more time.
My Review:
Though this is #10 in the Sandhamn Murders series, it's my first novel & I read it as a standalone. The connections amongst the central roles remained difficult for me to understand as all hold a history. I really hadn't seen that it was #10 while requesting a copy from NetGalley. But I have no qualms as the account was super exciting & the twist, in the end, was totally stunning.
What a roller-coaster read it has been for me with the title & it is a first for me from Viveca. Now I ought to read her other works later, recognizing how stimulating this one was. Bless you, NetGalley, the Author & the Publisher for an e-ARC of the novel. I am giving my review voluntarily in exchange for a complimentary copy. Thriller fans can read the book as a standalone or as part of the series.
