Still Waters: an Scandinavian murder mystery

Still Waters by Viveca Sten is the first book in the Sandhamn Murders series. On an island in the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden, a man has been discovered dead on the shore. Inspector Thomas Andresson, a member of the violent crime unit, has been called to the scene. The investigation would set off a series of events which will rock the tiny island community. Nora Linde, Thomas’s childhood friend, is vacationing on the island with her husband and two sons.  She can’t believe a murder could have happened on the quiet island but when two more bodies are discovered, she believes they could be connected. Are they connected? How? Can Thomas and his team discover the truth before another body is discovered?

Still Waters is an intense murder mystery with twists, turns and tiny clues that the ending is unexpected. The events behind the deaths was not what I expected but still mind blowing as the clues are recapped and connected at the end. I enjoyed all the characters especially Thomas and Nora. I look forward to reading other books in this series. I also discovered that the books had been turned into a tv show which is available on Amazon Prime streaming service. I may check it out soon. A murder mystery set on a beautiful island, Still Waters is an intense story and I recommend it.
