This is book 10 of the Sandhamn murder series set in Sweden, how did I not notice this when I requested the book? Never mind, it worked quite well as a stand alone. Development work is being undertaken on Telegrafholmen, a small island near Samndhamn. It was never going to be built on but when enough money is thrown at something - you know how it goes! But work comes to a shuddering halt when blasting of the surface rock and digging reveals what looks like human bones. There is not enough left o...
Buried in Secret by Viveca Sten is Scandinavian noir at its best. This is the tenth instalment in The Sandhamn Murders series but reads fairly well as a stand-alone. The story begins with the discovery of human bones buried on an uninhabited island in the Sandhamn Archipelago. Two detectives are tasked with the murder investigation. Two unrelated women went missing around the same time ten years ago and the detectives need to identify whose bones were found, considering that the bones were too o...
I’ve followed this series from the beginning, and it was one of my favorites. The last one was very dark, and its focus on sadistic domestic abuse really was not for me. However, I read the summary of this book, and it sounded like it might be a good choice. Big mistake. Nora, the protagonist, who was always a strong and intelligent woman, is falling apart, haunted by the last case and the threats made against her and her family. She drinks too much, starts fights with everyone that cares about
Though this is #10 in the Sandhamn Murders series, it's my first novel & I read it as a standalone. The connections amongst the central roles remained difficult for me to understand as all hold a history. I really hadn't seen that it was #10 while requesting a copy from Netgalley. But I have no qualms as the account was super exciting & the twist, in the end, was totally stunning.What a roller-coaster read it has been for me with the title & it is a first for me from Viveca. Now I ought to read

This is her 10th book on the Sandhamn Murders and it was a especially hard for me to read about Nora as a lush. I new why she was using wine as a potential sleeping aid. She had a bad argument with Jonas and then he had to fly off for four days. Leaving Nora with Julia to keep watch. We have two potential victims that could have been left for dead 10 years prior. I don't want to let you know who they are, so you can read about it. Follow it to you own conclusions and see if they come out or not....

This is the tenth book in the Sandhamn Murder series. This is an excellent mystery/suspense series that takes place in Sweden. I really enjoy the main characters of DI Thomas Andreasson and prosecutor Nora Linde as well as the complex plots. Thomas and Nora have a close, platonic friendship and are always there for each other. Each is involved in an investigation in which bones are discovered that seem to be related to one of two missing person's cases from ten years ago. Thomas is working on th...

Translated from the Swedish by Marlaine Delargy, Buried in Secret by Viveca Sten is the tenth book in the Sandhamn Murders series. Skeletal remains are dug up by builders on a small island in the Stockholm Archipelago. It begins with an investigation which reopens two cold case disappearances from ten years earlier. The flashbacks to the two women’s lives were not dated as such and initially somewhat off-kilter. The narrative recounts Detective Thomas Andreasson and his team’s investigation, as
The tenth story in the now 10-book Sandham Murders series is kicked off with a human skeleton of indeterminate age exposed during construction on the uninhabited island of Telegrafholmen, located across from the town of Sandham. The police and coroner are naturally called, with Thomas Andreasson and his partner Aram Gorgis heading the investigation. They’re under a time crunch to solve the mystery, as the construction project is meant to create exclusive homes on Telegrafholmen.Meanwhile, Nora L...
This is the tenth in the Sandhamm Murders series; it is the first I have read. Although it was OK as a standalone, there was constant reference to something that occurred in the past (I assume in a prior book). It was not fully explained, and I would have liked to know more about it, especially since it had such an impact on one of the main characters.The remains of a skeleton are found when excavating on a small island. As the police look into missing persons cases, there are two possibilities....
Well what a book! This is my first book from Viveca Sten and although this book can be read on its own it definitely refers to events that happened before. This story tells of two women disappearing around the same time 10 years prior to the time at which the story is set. The police is investigating their cases again as bones were found on an island, Telegrafholmen which is very close to where both women used to live. Also involved in the investigation is a prosecutor on sick leave who needs th...

Bones are found at a construction site and with the ensuing investigation, Nora Linde finds herself spiraling out of control from the fallout of a previous case.I enjoy this series immensely and was disheartened to read about Nora's physical and emotional decline. However, I also came to realize that no matter how strong a character appears, even the strongest need help.Will this case that she immerses herself in against better judgement be her permanent downfall.....or her redemption?This book
When blasting for construction unearths a buried body on the island of Telegrafholmen, Detective Inspector Thomas Andreasson is called in to investigate the case. Because the bones were partially destroyed by the explosion, only fragments have been recovered, making the job of figuring out who the body belonged to even more challenging. While he begins looking into any missing persons cases from the area, his old friend Nora Linde is not doing very well. After one of her previous cases didn't en...
I received and Advanced Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review.It wasn't until after I started reading the novel I realized that this was book #10 in the Sandhamn Murders series. Thankfully, that cleared up some of the confusion I had in the first few chapters as I felt there was no real introduction to the main characters. Thankfully, aside from a few backstory items that confused me; I was still able to carry on like this was a standalone novel.What initially drew me
This tenth novel in the Sandhamn series builds slowly to a tense climax. The story can be read alone, but it helps to know the series characters and the previous events that impinge upon it. The friendship between Thomas and Nora faces challenges as Nora navigates the crushing fear and guilt arising from a previous case and tries to assuage them by involving herself secretly in Thomas's current investigation. This mental torment also impacts her relationship with her husband and daughter, adding...
So I guess I've arrived at the party late again. Why did I not realise when I requested it. But all is not lost. It reads well as a standalone novel. But it does refer back occasionally but not enough for it to ruin the read. However, this is the 10th novel in the on going series of the Sandhamn Murders and it is set in Sweden. It's a detective story about bones found on an island. The bones are old and could be one of three girls. The book basis itself on those three girls and who the bones cou...
