Resumen del Editor

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.

Great series fizzeled out

The first eight books of this series were great, especially books 7 and 8. The last two however were big disappointments. Just as some television series that should have stopped when they were on top, I'm afraid this series should have done the same. It didn't help that the narrator was also changed to one of my least favorite narrators. Her male voices are like nails to a chalkboard. I'm afraid that after these last two books, I will not continue to listen to any other books that might be added.

My least favorite of the series

I love this author and her books. However, the narrator talked like she had candy in her mouth. Also, I really didn’t like the direction Nora’s character went. It was painful to see a strong woman become so weak,

Great story but monotone reading

I love Viveca Sten’s novels. But the reader put me to sleep. Monotonous performance. What a shame! I ended up reading the book on my Kindle.

A Deadly Secret

A skeletal hand is found on a remote island near Sandhamn. The police investigation is looking into the disappearance of three people ten years ago. Nora Linde is deteriorating into alcohol after the terror of her last case. A cast of characters from the most innocent to deadly evil. Great series.

It was ok, bit slow

I normally enjoy following Nora and Thomas as they navigate their jobs and respective family lives but this one was tough. Nora has been spiraling down into depression since the case where she helped an abused wife and is not very likable. Then she starts stepping on the police toes and can hinder an investigation. Meanwhile, Thomas is struggling w balancing work and single parenthood.
The story was decent but a bit slow

Book took a different turn from all the others.

Very disappointed in the last book. Not only was the narrator awful. Which I have sent audio books back when I realized she was the narrator because she talks so slow and monotone. It makes the book boring. But I also did not like how Nora became so weak in this book. Should have been a better ending for her.

The Genre is unique

I found it difficult to follow the storyline. Really in depth storyline. Think b4 buying

Disappointed

The entire story was dark. It was not in keeping with the series. Nora's character was disappointing. The narration was poor. I do not recommend the book.

narration is awful

The narrator makes every female voice whiny and melodramatic. I love the series but could not finish, the voice given the characters ruined it. I'll take the book from the library.

Change in narrator is upsetting

I don't understand why the narrator was changed in this latest book. Pronunciations of names and places and other things were all different than the previous one and it was pretty distracting to say the least. Good story line, but i couldn't get over the narration change.
