This one ends in a cliffhanger!

I prefer not to listen to a serialized series (one where the all of the novels except the final one end in cliffhanger situations) until all of the series has been published. The Sandhamn Murders series was not serialized until the third novel, Guiltless, ended with a major unresolved issue. I look forward to the next Sandhamn Murder book.

This series should be read in order written in part because the first chapters of Book 2 completely gives away the plot of Book 1.

Guiltless is the best book in the series to date; it earns five stars. Narration is still by Angela Dawe. Maybe I've become accustomed to her; he narration is excellent.

Series Bogs Down

On the up side the narrator has really improved from the choppy robotic quality of the earlier books. Dawe is even able to do different voices for the characters now. This make it much better for listening.

On the other hand I think I'm giving up on this series. It has become too plodding and on the edge of tedious for me. I hated all the graphic child abuse depicted in the flashback chapters. Then if you add in the odd and abrupt cliffhanger ending the whole thing just lost me.

Riveting

Sandhamm Murders are best heard with a large coffee mug, trail mix and a weekend of no interruptions. Trying to guess whodunnit is so kuch fun. The story was very heartbreaking and the cliffhanger! Buying the next one now!

Norah weeps

A long, boring tale with wimps as the “heroes.”
Wish that Thomas and Nora would grow a pair.

Love her books

Love the way all things come together, well written & clever storytelling skills, can’t wait till the next book..

Woo boy, this one gives you all the feels!

I have been enjoying this series and following the lives of police detective Thomas and his childhood best friend, Nora. This one was told from the POVs of several ppl, including one from 1/2 century before. As usual, the author makes you wonder how the different stories will be relevant to the murder investigation. The old POV will break your heart! When all is said and done, it all comes together to solve the mystery.

Lost me

I struggled to keep reading. Confusing changes of protagonists and characters. Could not like or identify with them as in previous books in series. Won't continue on

Revenge is best served cold.

Nora Linde thinks of Sandhamn Island as a haven. With her marriage falling apart and her husband having an affair she takes her sons for a retreat on the island.

Playing in the woods her sons find a buried arm buried under the ground. The search is on for the murderer of a twenty year old woman who disappeared months earlier.

A great mystery series with intricate details and characters. Angela Dawes I a great narrator.

I love this entire series

I have loved this series from day 1! I think the development of the characters has been wonderful. The stories are well written and the description of the islands and areas leads one to want to go and see the beauty in person. I’m in my 70s, worked in a library for most of my adult life and I tell everyone who enjoys an intriguing mystery/thriller to please immerse themselves on to Sandhamm Island. I am forever a Sten fan. New series to begin soon! I shiver.
