Katarina Blom, psychologist and author. The Forgotten Cookbook: A flavorful feel-good novel about family secrets and new chances. Max Nyström is a celebrated restaurant critic, but no one knows that he has been fired from the newspaper he works for and has been forced to move into his aunt's studio. Max's curiosity is piqued when he finds an old recipe collection in the studio's bookshelf, written by his own mother. She who disappeared without a trace over thirty years ago. In the late 80s, young Kicki Nyström leaves Västervik for the big city. She has gotten a job at the bistro Lilla Champen and enjoys being part of the city's hustle and bustle. But wonderful things are short-lived, and life soon takes an unexpected turn. As Max begins to search for his missing mother, he gets to know the waitress Olga. Together, they start to unravel the mystery, but the road to the truth becomes both tangled and emotional. The Misleader: One week in January, six party-loving students take the train to Åre to go skiing. Then everything goes wrong, and suddenly only five are left alive. Was it an accident or a cold-blooded murder? As the questions pile up, the tension in the group rises. Friends turn against each other when no one can explain what happened that fateful night. Police colleagues Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog take on the case with mixed feelings. Daniel has separated and suffers from guilt towards his daughter. Hanna is on a luxurious weekend with her new date and is torn between him and her feelings for her colleague. The Misleader is the fourth part of the Åre Murders series, where Viveca Sten once again offers intricate murder mysteries in the Jämtland mountain world. She is nominated for Swedish Crime Writer of the Year 2023. Heaven is a Place on Earth: A warm and funny feel-good novel about friendship, unexpected adventures, and that it’s never too late to start over. Mimmi is newly divorced and has just found her spark for life again. This summer, she is going on a road trip all the way down to Southern Europe. Lena doesn’t have much of a spark for life at all. Neither does her daughter Lovisa, who has moved back home after a major betrayal. Lena and Mimmi met over thirty years ago when they worked at the social office in Östersund. Since then, a whole life has passed, but they still stick together. At the last moment, Lena decides to join Mimmi south. The journey is filled with both love and sorrow – and when they reach Greece and find the beginning of a forgotten love story, a whole new adventure begins. Dearest Lena: "Ninni Schulman has an unbeatable ability to construct credible intrigues where everyday conflicts quickly reach a life-threatening level, and the tension lies in simple situations like opening the door for the wrong person. Or trusting your closest ones. Sometimes it becomes disturbingly sad." Dagens Nyheter "... the sequel is even better; Schulman has become more comfortable in her new crime universe and moves effortlessly between people, environments, and different contexts. Few crime authors manage to balance the criminal case and the protagonist's private life so elegantly; there is never even a tremor on the line. /.../ a gripping page-turner." Göteborgs-Posten In the autumn of 1983, 31-year-old Lena is found dead in her home on the family estate in Sollerön outside Mora, hanged from a lamp hook. Judging by all appearances, it is a suicide. Lena's parents refuse to believe that their daughter chose to take her own life, and to uncover the truth, former police officer Ingrid Wolt is brought in. Ingrid has actually closed her newly started investigation agency and lives isolated in the woods out of fear of her ex-husband. But Lena's parents are so persistent that she is finally persuaded to take on the case. It soon becomes clear that Lena carried deep secrets and that many in her vicinity wanted to see her dead. Dearest Lena is the second part of Ninni Schulman's acclaimed Siljan series, a crime novel about longing, passion, and betrayal.
