I enjoyed The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg which is set in Sweden and opens with a particularly gruesome scene - woman, Alex, in a bath in winter, hence the title. Her childhood friend, Erica, is one of the first to find her and later "teams" up with the detective on the case, Patrik, to work out what happened to Alex. Is it suicide or murder? There is a connection to events in their school days which has some bearing on the situation. There are mysteries surrounding the events and the people involved - should the truth be told, or suppressed? Who would gain? Finally, the shocking truth is revealed. Good "murder" read. 4/5
