APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This atmospheric psychological thriller follows a troubled team of detectives as they discover links to a 30-year-old murder during a snowbound Scandinavian winter. It’s February in Copenhagen when Silje Thomsen starts receiving disturbing text messages that echo a children’s rhyme…and a heartbreaking tragedy from years before. When she disappears, detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess unearth tantalizing links to that same decades-old case. Nordic noir author Søren Sveistrup fills this dark thriller with all the breathless intensity we’ve come to expect, all while exploring serious themes of childhood neglect and trauma. Thulin and Hess are a smart and believably flawed team who made us feel immersed in their investigation—complete with red tape, personal issues, and too-full caseloads. With taut thrills and vivid atmosphere, Hide and Seek kept us excited from start to finish.
