An unfaithful couple is out driving to find a secluded meeting place. A young, lost woman gets an unexpected lift from a stranger. A man drives too fast on the snow-covered roads. Everyone involved has passed the same ravine. But only one has driven off the road, only one has left someone to die.
From not having known each other, are they now linked by an escalating spiral of violence, and although none of them know the whole picture, it is still someone who knows enough to tell the story.
What is Hidden in Snow is an unpredictable psychological thriller, where nothing is what it sets out to be. Debt, hatred, and destructiveness are the fuel that drives the story forward, and in the distance, the sweet euphoria of revenge is looming.
What is Hidden in Snow is a thrilling book that reminds me of the books by Harlan Coben or Linwood Barcley. It's the fact that so much is going on that the story twist and turns all the time that makes me think about Coben and Barcley's books. And, if there is one thing I love when it comes to books is it when the story keeps surprising me as this book do. Also, that makes this book hard to review since I don't want to reveal too much of what's going on. However, I really want to point out that nothing is what it seems in this book. One's perspective keeps changing as the story progresses. The more you learn about the traffic accident and the people involved in it the more you realize that your perspective is wrong. I did figure out the big twist towards the end of the book, otherwise, the book kept me on my toes all the way through the book.
What is Hidden in Snow is the first book I've read by Carin Gerhardsen and I'm really impressed by it. I'm looking forward to reading her previous books.

The story, and the creativity of the way it unfolds is 5 stars. But it is way too long, filled with pages of unneeded details of what the main characters are thinking, feeling, acting etc. I also think the fact the the book is translated from Swedish to English, is a problem. What should have been an edge of your seat thriller, ends up moving at a snails pace and worse comes off as boring. I mean really boring. I admit that this has been a problem for me with other Scandinavian books that were translated. The stories are well thought out but come across as too long and boring.… (lisätietoja)
