Perfect for you if...

You love Nordic noir with proper detective work and want to feel the cold seeping through every page.
You appreciate character-driven crime fiction where the leads have baggage that complicates the investigation.
You're drawn to standalone series openers that don't require you to commit to five books to get a satisfying mystery.

Maybe not for you if...

You need cosy mysteries or light procedurals, because this gets genuinely unsettling as it peels back what happened to that girl.
You're looking for fast-paced page-turners, because Sten builds tension methodically rather than rushing you through twists.
You dislike dual perspectives or multiple timelines, as the narrative weaves between Hanna's investigation and other viewpoints.

About this book

The Swedish mountains provide the setting for a crime investigation. Stockholm police officer Hanna Ahlander seeks refuge at her sister's lodge in the ski resort town of Åre after her personal and professional lives collide. Her stay is disrupted when a local teenage girl goes missing, and the village is thrown into turmoil. Hanna begins investigating the disappearance and is hired by the local police department. She partners with Detective Inspector Daniel Lindskog, who is leading the search for the missing girl. Their only initial clue is a scarf found in the snow. As temperatures plummet and a severe blizzard approaches Åre, the investigation becomes increasingly urgent. Whether the girl is lost or abducted, time is critical. As Hanna and Daniel uncover new evidence, they discover the case involves something far more sinister than either anticipated. The investigation unfolds against the backdrop of an approaching storm that threatens to conceal the truth.
