Dead of Winter
by Anders de La Motte
Dead of Winter is a mystery by Swedish crime writer (and former police officer) Anders de la Motte, set in Skåne, the southernmost part of Sweden. The book divides between the present and events in 1987, when a fire ends up killing Laura, the main protagonist’s, best friend. It’s a nice evocation of a rural region—a place of lakes and forests—and it has a reasonably good plot.
