Rites of Spring by Anders De La Motte
Perfect for fans of Val McDermid and Yrsa Sigurdardottir, Rites of Spring is Scandi-crime at its best from a master storyteller.
Enthralling..De la Motte juxtaposes the horrors of war with age-old superstitions to superb effect -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
Rites of Spring is an evocative exploration of an old mystery. Dr Thea Lind moves to the small community of Tornaby in southern Sweden and is drawn into the investigation of a murder long considered solved. Anders de la Motte crafts a powerful and enthralling tale that's capped by a twist that makes it all the more satisfying * Adam Hamdy *
Rites of Spring is a classy slice of classic Scandi Noir with all the right ingredients - a rural community in which everyone harbours secrets, a murdered girl, a possible miscarriage of justice, and a creepy belief in ancient folklore - I literally couldn't read it fast enough! * Alison Belsham *
A mesmerising amalgam of creepy folklore, festering secrets, dark truths and a damp and mouldering Scandinavian landscape rendered so dark and brooding that it becomes a principal player in this slow-burn, addictive tale * Lancashire Evening Post *
