About this listen

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.

Guessing to the end

The tension in the narrative never let up. As usual the characters were well rounded and loyalty and love between friends emphasised. Everyone got the just deserts and loose ends from previous books brought to a conclusion . Sad to say goodbye to Nora and Thomas .

Nora Linde slips into complete ineptitude

Having enjoyed the first books, I realised the narrator (Angela Dawe) was an intrinsic part of the experience. The change of narrator changes the experience and the ambience. It's like whole new stories, and I find the accent wrong and voice strident. Such a shame.

Sten has evolved Linde, the main character, from credible, but flawed heroine, to cretinous and drunken fool. She ceases to be a sharp, logical, legal mind, and dissolves into the anti-heroine, whose actions, inaction and arrogance generates risks for all she cares for. in fact, she generates so much chaos through obvious stupidity and drug and alcohol-fuelled that you have to wonder what low standards the Swedish Bar Association, her government employer, actually apply, and her family and friends will put up with.

Previous books were worth the read (listen) but this one is a dud, and despite hoping it might redeem itself in later chapters, I will be seeking a refund. And I won't be back for more.
