Perfect for you if...

You enjoy procedural crime fiction where the investigation itself is as gripping as the mystery, with forensic details that feel authentic.
You're drawn to Nordic noir with isolated settings and morally complex characters juggling personal crises whilst solving brutal crimes.
You appreciate ensemble casts where each team member has their own stakes in the case, not just the lead detective.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers that reveal the killer early and focus on cat-and-mouse games rather than methodical investigation.
You're looking for cosy mysteries or lighter crime fiction without graphic crime scenes and morally grey characters.
You need a series read in strict order. Whilst this is book two, it stands alone, but you might feel you're missing backstory on the team.

About this book

A body is discovered strapped in a Ferrari at the bottom of the North Sea during a routine training dive near an oil platform. Forensic Technician Moa Bakke and her team are called to investigate as newly appointed Detective Inspector Fredrik Dal begins his first day on the job. A crime wave strikes the once-peaceful North Sea community. As the investigation progresses, friendships fracture and loyalties are tested, revealing that powerful figures are gambling with human lives for money. Moa struggles to balance her work with caring for her frail mother, while Fredrik deals with a stalker. The team uncovers a deadly game connecting the crimes. Set on a fictional group of Swedish islands in the North Sea, this police procedural novel explores Nordic noir themes. The Friland Murders series can be read as standalones, following Detective Inspector Fredrik Dal, Forensic Technician Moa Bakke, and their team as they investigate brutal crimes on the remote Swedish islands.
