5.0 out of 5 starsGreat start to a new series
Reviewed in Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ on January 1, 2023
I had not previously read books by this author before but certainly will do so again. Set in a small town in a beautiful ski and resort area of Sweden, an 18 year girl is reported missing after leaving a party during a winter's storm. A police officer from Stockholm who works on abuse cases, is staying at her sister's holiday home when this happens. She volunteers to help with the search and later becomes involved with the case. The characters are well developed, the plot is complex and there are many leads that go nowhere before the mystery is solved. It is not surprising that this author's previous books have been made into a TV series. This is a great start to a new series and made me want to read more.

I didn't finish this book. It is a soap opera disguised as a mystery. If the family and personal issues were cut back it could have been readable.

This is the best book I have read in ages. It is a real page-turner. I also enjoyed the way the author wrote in the present tense. This added to the immediacy of the story, putting the reader at each scene. I will be reading the next book as soon as I can.

The setting of this story captured my attention. After reading a few reviews, I decided to give it a go. I have watched several TV series with close-caption based in Scandinavian countries. TRAPPED set in Iceland and WALLANDER set in Sweden series are 2 that captured my fascination with the location and the culture.
HIDDEN IN SNOW is a wonderful deep dive thriller that will keep your attention. Add to this a very unforgiving environment, unlike anything I've experienced. Chicago in the winter is my closest reference. There are a lot of emotions and personal disappointments with the characters. Presented in a manner that I believe most of us can relate without being sappy. In other words, life. Author Viveca Sten will be someone who makes me want to read more. Since this is Book 1, I will soon start Book 2. Special kudos to the team of translators. My experience with close-caption makes me even more appreciative.
Although it is not necessary, the Audible book performed by Laura Jennings in one of the best.

I loved this book and didn't want it to end. I'
ve watched all of the Sandham murders on TV which I loved. I didn't realise this book was written by the author of the sandham murders but it is the same intriguing story ad them. It is an absorbing story which I found very easy to keep track of including all of the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Scandi crime writer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง on March 7, 2023

This was the first book Iโ€™ve read by Sten. Iโ€™m assuming she intends writing more set in Are as this felt like an introduction to the two main police officers - Hanna and Daniel - with much more to explore in both their personal and professional lives.
What I liked about the story was that it didnโ€™t shy away from the huge devastating impact that the murder of a young person has on the immediate family, exploring the different ways that Amandaโ€™s parents deal with the tragedy.
It also highlights the effect that working on violent cases has on police officers - not just on their home lives but on the way they approach other cases.
All that, and much more is covered in the book which begins as a search for a missing girl.
The location also plays a key role, with the minus temperatures that most of us canโ€™t begin to imagine, and which the author continues to remind us of in many different ways so that it by no means becomes repetitive, rather essential.
My only complaint is the use of American English - surprising (and disappointing) given that the translator is English. Oh and a typo in chapter 121 when it says that XX murdered Hanna instead of murdered Amanda!
