A luxury resort. Three missing women. One body.

When young London professional Alex Evans is informed that his sister’s body has been pulled from an icy lake in Northern Lapland, he assumes his irresponsible sister accidentally drowned. He travels to the wealthy winter resort where Vicky worked as a tour-guide and meets Agatha Koskinen, the detective in charge. Agatha is a no-nonsense single mother of three who already thinks there’s more to Vicky’s case than meets the eye.

As the two form an unlikely alliance, Alex also begins to suspect the small town where his sister lived and died is harbouring secrets. It’s not long before he learns that three other women have gone missing from the area in the past and that his sister may have left him a message.

On the surface, Koppe, Lapland is a winter wonderland. But in this remote, frozen place, death seems only ever a heartbeat away.

My Thoughts:

Jo is a new author to me, I thought this read sounded good and my kind of thriller. It is about Alex who gets a phone call to say his sisters body has been found in Northern Lapland, and he assumes it is her fault. Alex sets out on the long journey to Lapland to speak with the detective in charge because it is not at all what it seems. His sister’s case is not as simple as it first seemed. What was she involved in, Alex has to find out. It was tense, gripping and pulled me in quite literally from the get go. It made me feel cold reading this but not so much to do with the freezing temperatures in Lapland, it was more to do with how the story was panning out. Full of creepiness and not knowing what is around the corner. I really liked it and am excited to read more by Jo.
