The vote has been counted and we have a winner for the August/September read of the virtual crime book club. And the winning book, the one we are reading is;
The Silver Road by Stina Jackson
Three years ago, Lelle’s daughter went missing in a remote part of Northern Sweden. Lelle has spent the intervening summers driving the Silver Road under the midnight sun, frantically searching for his lost daughter, for himself and for redemption.
Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Meja arrives in town hoping for a fresh start. She is the same age as Lelle’s daughter was – a girl on the brink of adulthood. But for Meja, there are dangers to be found in this isolated place.
As autumn’s darkness slowly creeps in, Lelle and Meja’s lives are intertwined in ways, both haunting and tragic, that they could never have imagined.
The next book club meeting is Monday 7th September at 8pm BST (UK timezone). You will need to be on the book club mailing list to gain entry to the meeting so sign up to that HERE. I look forward to seeing you there!

This was the winner of the Glass Key Award for best Scandinavian Crime Fiction in 2019, so I’m looking forward to reading it.

I have not read Stina Jackson before and I am looking forward to the discussion.

Hello,
I finished the Silver Road. I found it well-written and a bit dark.
I plan to red more books by Jackson.
May not be able to join the discussion this week due to a conflict. I will catch it on YouTube if miss.
