Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day! Blaze Me a Sun is Nordic Noir from Christoffer Carlsson. "A call comes into the police station. A man claims to have attacked his first victim ans says he will do it again. Officer Sven Jorgensson arrives at the crime scene as the victim takes her last breath.. He becomes obsessed with the case even as two more fall victim. He retires before he can solve it and stays haunted by the victims. Years later a novelist returns home and begins looking into the case. Sven's son helps him revisit old evidence and interviews. What they find shows how far a town will go to protect their own..." There is a melancholy to characters in Nordic crime fiction - an almost fatalistic view of the world. Maybe it's because the day lasts for a couple of hours in the winter. This book is not a police procedural but looks more at how a crime can affect law enforcement and the people of a town. The story starts with the assassination of Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister on the same night as the first attack. Then it slows down as Sven tries to make headway on the killer. It's not traditional police work - just Sven trying to work things out. The story picks up as the novelist digs into some of the inconsistencies that no one ever followed up on. The ending is tragic and one you will not guess. Fans of Scandinavian fiction will enjoy this book from Carlsson.

Hope you’re warm and toasty on this holiday Monday. The Mirror Man is the 8th Joona Linna book in the series from Lars Kepler. "17-year-old Jenny Lind is abducted in broad daylight. She is taken to an isolated farm where she is held captive in cages with other girls. They are punished for every little mistake and their families are threatened if they try to escape. Five years later Jenny is found murdered in a public park. Joona ties her death to a previous suicide. When another girl goes missing Joona is sure there is a serial killer at work and he finds himself in a race to save them." This is my 2nd Kepler book and I'm learning that they write some scary bad guys. This one cages teenage girls and carries a machete for punishment. This is a police procedural but it doesn't overwhelm the reader by jumping from lead to lead. The story goes back-and-forth from Joona's investigation to the farm where the girl's are held captive. The story is fast-paced and intense. I was not a fan of the plot twist. Kepler makes it work but I prefer a different resolution. Another great story from Lars Kepler. Thanks to @aaknopf and @netgalley for the advanced copy. #themirrorman #larskepler #aaknopf #netgalley #ARC #bookreview #nordicnoir #nordiccrimefiction #crimebythebook #translatedfiction #newrelease #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1aoWmrIMb/?utm_medium=tumblr

#PRHPartner #Berkleybookstagram . 🖤 . Happy pub day to my #currentread DEATH IN THE FAMILY by Tessa Wegert! I am already so obsessed with this book. It’s giving me some major Agatha Christie vibes! I’ve heard nothing but amazing reviews about this book and so far it is definitely living up to the hype 🤗 . 🖤 . A huge thank you to @berkleypub for the free book❗️ . 🖤 . Thirteen months ago, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant barely survived being abducted by a serial killer. Now hoping to leave grisly murder cases behind, she's taken a job in her fiancé's sleepy hometown in the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. But as a nor'easter bears down on her new territory, Shana and fellow investigator Tim Wellington receive a call about a man missing on a private island. Shana and Tim travel to the isolated island owned by the wealthy Sinclair family to question the witnesses. They arrive to find blood on the scene and a house full of Sinclair family and friends on edge. While Tim guesses they're dealing with a runaway case, Shana is convinced that they have a murder on their hands. As the gale intensifies outside, she starts conducting interviews and discovers the Sinclairs and their guests are crawling with dark and dangerous secrets. Trapped on the island by the raging storm with only Tim whose reliability is thrown into question, the increasingly restless suspects, and her own trauma-fueled flashbacks for company, Shana will have to trust the one person her abduction destroyed her faith in—herself. But time is ticking down, because if Shana's right, a killer is in their midst and as the pressure mounts, so do the odds that they'll strike again. . 🖤 . #jennblogsbooks #berkleypub #berkleybooks #deathinthefamily #pubday #newrelease #tessawegert #crimebythebook #librofmlisteningsquad #librofm #audiobook #bookbeaulove #bookishflatlay #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ulqgbliAx/?igshid=h4mupwto1cvx
