Summary

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.

Narrator is fine

Don't be put off by the previous 1 star review. I've listened to all ten of the Sandhamm books and yes, it is a pity that there's a different narrator for the 10th. But it didn't take long to get used to her. The book itself wasn't quite as good as the previous books in the series. All of them have a gritty subplot about the personal struggles of the various regular protagonists of the series which earths them in "real life". But the subplot rather takes centre stage in this one and Nora's spiral downward into self-destruction as a result of the trauma she experienced in book 9 feels overdone and out of step with her established character. However, the story all comes together satisfactorily and I'm pleased to have read all ten in the series.

Avoid this narrator.

One of those whispery , fey voices, riddled with breathy angst and implied tragedy . This woman could sob over a shopping list! I had to stop listening for fear of damaging my phone, or sinking into a torpor of depression.
