The Resting Place

Prosopagnosia (face blindness) is the new go to plot device in recent thrillers. This rare medical diagnosis has become popular in this genre because it sets up the perfect alibi. If you can’t recognize a face, would you be able to identify a murderer?
In The Resting Place, Eleanor finds her grandmother Vivianne brutally stabbed with a pair of scissors in her own home. She witnesses the murderer leave the scene, but cannot recognize the face. Who killed Vivianne and why?
When Eleanor receives a call from a lawyer to go through her grandmother’s things at her estate in the woods, she, her boyfriend Sebastian, and aunt Veronika make the trip in order to learn more about her family’s past. When people and important items start disappearing, Eleanor must figure out who is after her family before it’s too late.
Told in dual timelines alternating between the present and past, this Swedish mystery will have you guessing until the very end.
This is the second thriller I have read by Sten, and it’s by far my favorite. It’s creepy, atmospheric, unpredictable, and unputdownable! I listened to it in two days!
The audiobook read by Angela Dawe is fantastic. She absolutely sold the story and made it come to life. A+
4.5/5 stars rounded down
