This is not the atmospheric Nordic noir I was expecting, but the twists were so well-done and I thoroughly enjoyed it

I really loved Black Ice.  I couldn’t put it down.  I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.  Completely shocked and amazed.  If there was a gif to describe my face, it would be Chris Pratt’s amazed reaction from The Office.  The writing is so vivid, so atmospheric and chilling.  It is a bit of a slow burn, but there was never a dull moment.  I absolutely love the way the story is told.  Bits and pieces from the past come together to paint the final picture.  There were a lot of plot twists that I honestly did not see coming.  I loved the ending so much!  I had to reach out to friends to figure out what actually happened. 😂  I highly suggest you read this.  It’s creepy, atmospheric, and suspenseful.  The perfect winter book and of course, I read it in the middle of summer.  🤷🏼‍♀️ But really, though.  Read this book!
