Nora Linde's life is complicated when her new boyfriend's daughter doesn't come home after a night of celebrating. In addition to that worry, she is asked to take in two teenage girls who were found lost and confused after a night of drinking.
When the body of the young man is discovered, Thomas Andreasson and his partner Margit are called in to investigate.
I've enjoyed all of Viveca Sten's previous books, and although this one is not bad, for some reason I wasn't as engaged with the plot.
Both Nora and Thomas are interesting, intelligent, and compassionate characters, and I was happy to see a little take-down of the mother-in-law and to see ex-husband Henrik behave reasonably.
Read in July; blog review scheduled for Aug. 20.

She's a new author to me, and this sounds interesting -- I'll have ot check out the rest of her work.
ReplyDeleteStill Waters is the first in the series and is an excellent introduction to the series and the island. :)
DeleteI'm not familiar with this author so will have to check out her books. Is this part of a series?
ReplyDeleteI've read each one as the books have been translated--great characters and setting!
DeleteThis is a Swedish crime writer I also have never heard of before. Thanks for the introduction! They sound good.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed all of them. I'd love to visit Sandhamn someday--such a beautiful little island!
DeleteThese books do sound good. I'll have to see if my library will buy any of them. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy them, Lark. Start with Still Waters if you can. :)
DeleteI haven't tried this author yet, but I would like to. You've got me curious about the take-down of the mother-in-law. :-)
ReplyDeleteViveca Stenn's character-driven plots have all been entertaining!
