A Scandinavian noir novel telling the story from the points of view of Adam Sandell, a pastor for the Swedish church and his wife Ulrika and his teenaged daughter Stella who has been arrested for the murder of her boyfriend. The story tells of their early family life and goes back and forth from the past to the present. Brilliant legal thriller and how the family copes together. I enjoyed this immensely.

What an amazingly talented author this is!!!!!!

We read the story from dad, daughter and mum's POV which I found fascinating. Dad is a Pastor, mum is a lawyer and their daughter, Stella, is a teenager who definitely has a mind of her own.

Stella is accused of murdering a man 15 years her senior. Her mum and dad struggle to understand why she is a suspect. Their morals are tested to the limit and how far will they go to protect her.

I was totally drawn in to this story, my mind was spinning throughout with all the twists and turns. An edge of your seat, nail biting story for sure. A MUST READ in my opinion.

Adam and Ulrika have a fabulous life. He is a Pastor and she is a Lawyer. They have a high spirited daughter, Stella. Her dream is to go on a trip to Asia but she is arrested for murder. How strong can they be as a family?

This book is split into three POV and that makes it more enjoyable understanding how the three characters all weave their tale together. This was my first Scandi read and it was very enjoyable. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

A gripping mystery that explores family ties and loyalty. A must read for any thriller fans. The characters are well built and the plot flows beautifully.
