I was not really sure what to think about this before I started as a thriller is not something I would usually choose but I have to say I was surprised.
The book has many characters all with their own stories but centralising on the protagonist Liv who lives with her very unpleasant father Vidar and her son Simon. The family are not popular in the town due to past business misdemeanours of Vidar and even Liv struggles to like him as he is controlling, manipulative and nasty. The book alternates between past events and present day to enable the reader to have empathy for Liv.
Set in a small town in Sweden surrounded by forest where everybody knows everything about everyone, it is hard to hide from the past and eventually the past does catch up.
The cover was appealing with a snow on trees, inviting you in to the forest to uncover its secrets.
I enjoyed the book and would look out for other books by the same author and possibly would consider reading a thriller again.
