About this listen

A murder

A resident of small-town Visberg is found decapitated.

A festival

A cultish hilltop community ‘celebrates’ Pan Night after the apple harvest.

A race against time

As Visberg closes ranks to keep its deadly secrets, there could not be a worse time for Tuva Moodyson to arrive as deputy editor of the local newspaper. Powerful forces are at play, and no one dares speak out. But Tuva senses the story of her career, unaware that perhaps she is the story....

Critic reviews

"Just finished Will Dean's Bad Apples. A delicious return to Tuva." (Ann Cleeves)

"Fiendish, funny, scary as hell. Bad Apples is the standout in a truly outstanding series." (Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End)

"Bad Apples is a chilling outing for Tuva Moodyson - unsettling from beginning to the very end, but leavened with dark humour. A compelling thriller that devoted fans and new readers will adore." (Jane Casey, author of the Maeve Kerrigan series)

Forests, elk, trolls, murder, intrigue, everything you want from Scandi drama! Excellent story, gorgeous narration, and one hell of a cliffhanger ending!

Scandi Noir at its finest

Read this before Red Snow. I had to give up on the latter, as not only was the monosyllabic narration annoying, but the 2 sisters' pop-up shop was a troll too far for me. This book explains it, giving exciting and really interesting descriptions of the pre-Halloween day that reminded me of Grampus Day in Austria (though clearly much darker!).

Once this book got going it was absolutely fantastic … but if a cliff hanger ending … can’t wait to start the next book in the series :-) The narrator Maya is brilliant - love the little twists of humour and sarcasm too!

Fabulous again

Wow! Can’t wait for the next one! I’m loving all the situations Tuva gets herself into!

Awesome!

I love the Tuva series. I am not entirely sure I buy what Tuva is doing in remote locations. The narrator portrays nature as menacing, decomposing, twisted and dangerous. The locals are even worse… Fancy a bite of a wasp infested rotting apple? or perhaps attend dark, very dark village celebrations (midsommar style…)? Still the stories are suitably atmospheric and interesting and Tuva has enough love for a handful of people to make this credible. The ending of this one though is an absolute punch in the gut. I am never setting foot in northern Scandinavia, never ever, that is for sure.

Oh that ending….
