HIDDEN IN SNOW The Are Murders, Book 1

Laura Jennings narrates this Nordic noir with style. Stockholm police officer Hanna Ahlander takes refuge at her sister's lodge in the Swedish ski resort of Are to recover from professional and private disasters. When a girl goes missing there, Hanna can't help getting involved as the local police race against the clock to discover what happened to her. Jennings's use of authentic-sounding accents and place names creates the perfect backdrop. Her strong characterizations bring the wide cast of individuals to life, and she creates a likable character in Hanna, who is plagued by self-doubt. Jennings's timing helps to build the tension as the plot heads toward the exciting conclusion. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2023]
