This book was an excellent read and was a division between Johana Gustawsson and Tomas Enger. I think that they should due several books together because they are quiet the team. They actually made this book noir with the return of the father finding Vetle and Kari didn't know! But seven years later after her son could be dead she doesn't want to believe it. What we're trying to find out is who killed the girls, Eva Eek-Svendsen and Hedda Bülow, who are sixteen years old. Vetle, Jesper, Eva, and Hedda were best friends growing up. Jesper was found guilty and Kari was the person who tried to prove he wasn't guilty. Kari was almost killed by a driver and was in the hospital because of it. different people had several scenarios which to consider but Kari found the killer. It turns and twists with characters and you'll have to wait to find out the whole story as you read it.

Psychologist and expert on body language and memory, Kari Voss investigates the murder of two teenaged girls in the small Norwegian town of Son, as suspicion is cast on multiple suspects. A mesmerizingly dark, twisty start to a nerve-shattering new series by two of the world's finest crime writers…. Great thriller! Great start to a new series! It did not seem like a cliffhanger either!! This book had chilling suspense, murder, mystery, intriguing, interesting characters and a few Jaw dropping twists! The story was very interesting! Can’t wait for more! I highly recommend reading this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I can’t recommend this highly enough. It has everything - a challenging and complex plot, well-rounded characters with intertwined back stories and plenty of details about the investigative process to make the resolution truly satisfying. There are many strands to the plot and the ending opens up new questions while resolving the core mystery, leaving hope of more books to come. The setting is just beautiful and so well described that you feel you are experiencing the snow and beauty of the Norwegian Winter. The author does an incredible job of bringing the teenage characters to life, making their angst and confusion all to real as they contend with matters far beyond their usual experience. Seeing how Jesper’s story evolves and resolves is particularly heartbreaking,
