A small town can hide many secrets
Returning to her hometown after the funeral of her parents, writer Erica Falck finds a community on the brink of tragedy. The death of her childhood friend, Alex, is just the beginning. Her wrists slashed, her body frozen in an ice-cold bath, it seems like shes taken her own life.
Meanwhile, local detective Patrik Hedstrm is following his own suspicions about the case. Its only when they start working together that the truth begins to emerge about a small town with a deeply disturbing past
Praise for The Ice Princess:
Heart-stopping and heart-warming, The Ice Princess is a masterclass in Scandinavian crime writing Val McDermid
Camilla Lckberg is a more than welcome addition to the growing ranks of Scandinavian crime writers translated into English. With its sharp emotional nuances and psychological insight, The Ice Princess builds in suspense as the author turns her clear eye on the buried secrets and contemporary relationships of a small, isolated community. I predict that Fjallbacka and its crimes and people will soon be as poplular here as they are in her native Sweden Peter Robinson
