The Drowning

A man has gone missing.  Evidence shows that there is no reason for him to have disappeared.  And now Patrick Hedstrom's wife has presented him with a couple of letters that appear threatening in nature that were mailed to a fellow writer.  The writer was friends with the missing man.  Could there be a connection?

Sometime later a body is discovered under the ice.  It proves to be the missing man.  He didn't drown, but was stabbed several times.  It is no longer a missing person case, but rather a murder investigation.

Meantime a local author has been receiving threatening letters.  Erica, Hedstrom's heavily pregnant wife, has been looking into this situation because she us a friend of the author.  What she doesn't know is that there are three other men who have been receiving similar letters.  The author was a friend of the murdered man.  Is there a connection?

The connection comes to light when the remaining three men are attacked in one way or another.  However, none of them will admit to knowing anything.

Author Camilla Lackberg builds the plot intensely towards the ultimate conclusion, but gives the reader several surprises at the end leaving the reader in a state of shock.  An extremely good read.
