About This Audiobook

In Easter 1974, an entire family vanishes from an island off the Swedish coast, leaving behind a perfectly set dinner table and a one-year-old girl no one can explain. Decades later, Ebba returns to the island with her husband to renovate the old summer camp and try to recover from the loss of their young son. When arson attacks begin and dried blood surfaces beneath the floorboards, detective Patrik Hedstrom and true-crime writer Erica Falck find themselves pulled into a mystery that spans two generations.

Robin Bowerman narrates with the unhurried gravity that suits Camilla Lackberg's intertwined timelines, moving between the claustrophobic dread of the past and the grief-soaked present with equal authority. His voice gives the isolated island setting a cold, windswept quality that never lets the listener forget how far from safety these characters are. At nearly thirteen hours, the production rewards the patience it demands.
