About this listen

The splendor of the Swedish mountains becomes the backdrop for a bone-chilling crime.

On the day Stockholm police officer Hanna Ahlander’s personal and professional lives crash, she takes refuge at her sister’s lodge in the Swedish ski resort paradise of Åre. But it’s a brief comfort. The entire village is shaken by the sudden vanishing of a local teenage girl. Hanna can’t help but investigate, and while searching for the missing person, she lands a job with the local police department. There she joins forces with Detective Inspector Daniel Lindskog, who has been tasked with finding the girl. Their only lead: a scarf in the snow.

As subzero temperatures drop even further, a treacherous blizzard sweeps toward Åre. Hanna and Daniel’s investigation is getting more desperate by the hour. Lost or abducted, either way time is running out for the missing girl. Each new clue closes in on something far more sinister than either Hanna or Daniel imagined. In this devious novel by the bestselling author of the Sandhamn Murders series, discover what it will take to solve a case when the truth can be so easily hidden in the coming storm.

Critic reviews

“Laura Jennings narrates this Nordic noir with style.… Jennings's use of authentic-sounding accents and place names creates the perfect backdrop. Her strong characterizations bring the wide cast of individuals to life, and she creates a likable character in Hanna, who is plagued by self-doubt. Jennings's timing helps to build the tension as the plot heads toward the exciting conclusion.”—AudioFile Magazine

“[Laura] Jennings skillfully portrays Sten’s vivid characters and brings out the broad range of emotions and the effect of violence on this small town. A perfect recommendation for readers of Scandi noir. Share with fans of Karin Fossum and Sara Blaedel.”—Library Journal

"Of special appeal to listeners with an interest in Police Procedural Mysteries and the adventures of Women Sleuths, Hidden in Snow by novelist Viveca Sten is masterfully narrated by the impressive storytelling talents of Laura Jennings. A true delight for fans of riveting suspense thriller fiction.”—Midwest Book Review

I’ve enjoyed all of Viveca Sten’s previous books and the excellent narration by Marlaine Delargy. This was a refreshing new police procedural and I hope there will be more to follow.

Captivating and atmospheric Nordi Noir

I’ve read all the Sandham stories to was looking forward to this new series. Although it took a while to get going, as the author was putting the backstory in place, it was very enjoyable and I look forward to listening to/reading more in this series.

Viceca Sten is one of the best crime novelists in my experience, she never overwrites and always satisfies.

I enjoyed the whole reading experience. There was nothing to dislike....this was Viveca Sten after all.

Suspenseful.

Very enjoyable, evocative setting, troubled heroes and dastardly deeds. Dark Sweden at Xmas. Actually low on gore and murder compared to most snow noirs I've read, so would recommend for anyone put off by that normally. Very relationship driven.

Good solid scandi noir
