Detectives Hannah and Daniel are investigating the murder of Johan in this mystery thriller! Their investigation leads them to a woman named Rebecka who hasn’t been seen or heard from in 5 days. Rebecka has endured violent abuse from her husband, Ole, but when she tries to reach out for help she’s met with “oh he’s a pastor he could never”. 
The two stories of the man found dead in the snow and missing Rebecka come together in the end for a twist I did NOT see coming! 
There were quite a bit of characters, which got a bit confusing for me at times, but they all played an important role and made this story all the better! 

4.5⭐️ I highly recommend!!
