Publisher's summary

The number one international crime series from Sweden!

An island never forgets - especially if you're the daughter of a murderer.

Police detective Hannah Duncker didn’t expect to return to her native Öland. She fled after her father’s murder conviction and returns to make peace with her shame. She has a new job with the local police and a nosy new partner. A 15-year-old’s death catapults her into a murder investigation that resurrects ghosts from her previous life. As she hunts for the truth, she must confront the people she abandoned. Not all are pleased to see her back home, and she soon learns that digging through the past comes with consequences.

Author Johanna Mo crafts a breakneck island noir where secrets linger, guilt stains, and collective memory is long and unforgiving. Propulsive and poignant, The Night Singer explores the fallout of when good people do bad things.

A thoroughly enjoyable mystery - nothing wild or improbable just a quiet
mystery solved by talking to people.
Fine narrator, well constructed novel.
It is Swedish but not the Scandinavian
Noir - which I really like. I recommend this. I hope the author releases more.
Penquin has published the kind.of
excellent mysteries I enjoy

painfully bad story with poor narration

Thin plot, basic writing, not very engaging story. Forgettable story, not worth a listen. I didn't care for the narrator's performance.
