The Last Snow is set in a remote part of Sweden, Ödesmark. Here, Liv and her son, Simon live with her father, Vidar. They are a close family, but there is an underlying tension in how they act around each other.

There are some flashbacks to Liv’s younger days as she grew up and this gives a little background into the family and the suspicions the other inhabitants of Ödesmark have of them. Vidar is not a likeable man and he has upset many of his fellow villagers in the past.

Some in the village believe Vidar has money hidden in the house and so they set out to find it…..then there is a death. We’re Liam and his brother responsible ?

The Last Snow is a beautifully written, slow burn of a thriller wIth a simmering tension that’s palpable at times, it’s also about dysfunctional families and the claustrophobia of living in a small town. Wonderfully descriptive, chilling and so atmospheric. ScandiNoir at its best.
