Author Sara Winokur talks with Books That Make You host Desiree’ Duffy about how her Nordic thriller and genetic mystery book takes us on a suspenseful ride.
The Nordic Thriller genre gives us cold places, the best balance of present-day living, uniqueness, and an old-fashioned feel that keeps the story grounded. This story gives us just that, and it’s the perfect mix of crime, and suspense.
