Viveca Sten — Still Waters (Sandhamm Murders #1) (Book Review)
Viveca Sten starts a new mystery series in Still Waters. Sten is Swedish and thus her story is too. First published there in 2008 and then translated to English in 2015, the Sandhamm Murders series is a sensation.

But it’s also about her home city, New Orleans, including the politics, the racial divide, and the...M.L. Stedman — The Light Between Oceans: An Unthinkable Dilemma (Book Review)
