About this listen

Black River is an electrifying return for relentless reporter Tuva Moodyson, from the author of Dark Pines and Red Snow.

Fear

Tuva’s been living clean in southern Sweden for four months when she receives horrifying news. Her best friend Tammy Yamnim has gone missing.

Secrets

Racing back to Gavrik at the height of Midsommar, Tuva fears for Tammy’s life. Who has taken her, and why? And who is sabotaging the small-town search efforts?

Lies

Surrounded by dark pine forest, the sinister residents of Snake River are suspicious of outsiders. Unfortunately, they also hold all the answers. On the shortest night of the year, Tuva must fight to save her friend. The only question is who will be there to save Tuva?

loved all 3 books, however this is the only one I wouldn't give 5 stars to. Sometimes there's just an occasional lull where you're getting slightly bored, then something happens. Also, no snow. it's set in the summer, which is a personal preference thing. The narration is perfect, as usual and I'd still recommend though.

No snow!!!!

Dark Pines was good. Red Snow was unlikely and poorer. This is nonsense! Repetitious, silly, implausible, you choose the description. What a shame writers don't know when to stop.

What a shame

Narration is great, but the story itself is not as strong as the previous two books. The number of times the protagonist put themselves in needless danger was exhausting. A shame, as Midsommer offers such a lot of opportunity.

Hmm

The pace of the novel is deliberately slow, full of detail and interestingly weird but credible characters. This series started strongly and although some
earlier characters make only a brief or no appearance in this the 3rd novel it is every bit as good as the previous ones.
Some of the other reviews are slightly negative and almost put me off and it’s true there are
Sections of the novel where nothing much seems to happen but the character and thoughts of Tuva holds it all together .

A slow burner but well worth persevering.

The style and narration are still as hypnotic, but the plausibility of the story in the small Swedish Town is just a step to far. At the start Tuva has moved to a new job in a new town and if the story had been based there around New characters it could would have been better. Instead it Tuva goes back to Garvrik after Tammy disappears and this seems to stretch the previous characters to far unnecessarily.
The book and the plot are still good and the first person real time narrative is still as smooth and seductive as the previous 2 book's. So would still recommend, but if Tuva is to have another outing then she has to move on to develop.

Maybe a book to far
