Book Synopsis:
What secrets are hidden within the walls of a desolate farmhouse in a forgotten corner of Lapland?
Early spring has its icy grip on Ödesmark, a small village in northernmost Sweden, abandoned by many of its inhabitants. But Liv Björnlund never left. She lives in a derelict house together with her teenage son, Simon, and her ageing father, Vidar. They make for a peculiar family, and Liv knows that they are cause for gossip among their few remaining neighbours.
Just why has Liv stayed by her domineering father’s side all these years? And is it true that Vidar is sitting on a small fortune? His questionable business decisions have made him many enemies over the years, and in Ödesmark everyone knows everyone, and no one ever forgets.
Now someone wants back what is rightfully theirs. And they will stop at nothing to get it, no matter who stands in their way…

My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author so I was extremely excited to be invited onto the blog tour for The Last Snow her latest, amazing book. Once again the author has written a dark, intense and very atmospheric read which was very hard to put down. It’s going to be hard to review this book as I don’t want to give anything away.
Firstly this book isn’t just a murder mystery, it is actually so much more and there are some interesting topics discussed within it’s pages. I liked how the author manages to combine all of these without ruining any of the original story and all the different storylines ran smoothly alongside each other.
The author does a great job of describing the snowy, bleak landscape in the book so that I felt really able to imagine it in my mind. I felt that it helped add to all the action and drama that takes place throughout the book. It somehow made the actions of the characters more shocking which I thought was very clever.
This is a bit of a slow burn but it soon become very gripping as the story goes on. There is a bit of an underlying threat of violence and menace which made for very intriguing reading. I found that I couldn’t put the book down the further I got into it as I was desperate to see how everything ending. The ending was shocking and surprised me which I always love.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Corvus for my copy of this book.
