Synopsis: Investigator Jessica
Niemi is in a race against time to find the link between a body with
strange markings that has washed up on a frigid shore in Finland and two
mysterious disappearances in this terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Witch Hunter.
Six
months have passed since Jessica's encounter with the mysterious
serial-killing coven of witches and the death of her mentor Erne. Her
nightmares about her mother and the witchcraft that undid her have only
gotten worse, but she's doing what she can to stay focused. Her homicide
squad, now under new leadership, has been given a murder case and a new
series of disappearances to investigate. A young woman's corpse has
washed up on an icy beach, and two famous Instagram influencers have
gone missing at the same time.
The missing influencers and the
murdered woman all have ties to a sinister cult. Jessica finds an eerie
painting--of a lighthouse on a frigid island--as she investigates and
under the picture is a gruesome poem detailing a murder. The nightmares
about her dead mother have intensified and seem all too real, making
Jessica wonder if the woman might be trying to tell her something about
the killings. And as Jessica works frantically to solve her latest case,
her terrifying past and the coven of witches that almost killed her
shockingly reemerge and threaten to destroy her. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This book cover just screams winter and Nordic Noir. I'm here for it. Once I picked this one up, I couldn't really put it down. The mystery really grabbed me and I had to solve it. I wasn't right in trying to figure everything out, but I had a lot of fun trying.
I really enjoyed the mystery of this. I thought it was written in such a way that really grabbed my attention. I liked our detective of Jessica Niemi. I liked our frigid setting. Witches and Cults are always fun too.
I really enjoyed reading this one and will definitely check out more from this author. If you're looking for some Nordic Noir, I'd definitely say give it a read. It will definitely make you feel the winter vibes.
Max Seeck devotes his time to writing professionally. An avid
reader of Nordic noir for personal pleasure, he listens to film scores
as he writes. His accolades include the Finnish Whodunit Society's Debut
Thriller of the Year Award 2016. Max Seeck has a background in sales
