ABOUT

"Three years ago, Lelle's daughter went missing in a remote part of Northern Sweden. Lelle has spent the intervening summers driving the Silver Road under the midnight sun, frantically searching for his lost daughter, for himself and for redemption.

Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Meja arrives in town hoping for a fresh start. She is the same age as Lelle's daughter was - a girl on the brink of adulthood. But for Meja, there are dangers to be found in this isolated place.

As autumn's darkness slowly creeps in, Lelle and Meja's lives are intertwined in ways, both haunting and tragic, that they could never have imagined."

THOUGHTS

This book was a typical thriller. I had quite high hopes for it, but they vanished after I read about 70 percent of the book. To be honest, it was enthralling in the first part. I really liked the writing and how you could feel with both Meja and Lelle throughout the book. However, the ending was so boring. It did not end in an extremely good way, and all that I hoped for did not happen. To be genuine, I had a much better plot twist in my head while reading the book. It is pretty sad to give this book 3/5 stars because Stina Jackson is good at writing. I am sorry, but this book does not have it all.

RECOMMENDATION

I believe you can find better thriller and mystery books out there. This is not a book I would recommend.

To sum up – a book that starts off well but ends quite badly.
