Once again, I LOVED it!!! Do yourself a favour and read the first two books in the series Marian Keyes

Tuva Moodyson is back in the Swedish town of Gavrik at the height of Midsomar celebrations on the hunt for her missing best friend Tammy, but summer in Gavrik is just as dangerous as winter and in this compelling, intriguing, brilliantly written thriller, the relentless pace drives you forward until you are hanging on to the pages by your fingertips, afraid to go on, but terrified to put it down.
