Story
In the Swedish ski resort of Åre, crime is rare. Certainly nothing so brutal as the murder of Johan Andersson, a former Olympic skier found bound and beaten to death in the forest. According to his distraught wife, he didn’t have any enemies in the world. To Detective Inspectors Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog, the crime proves otherwise. But what could have provoked such rage? And in whom?

I love these characters and I'm not done with them! Hidden in snow was a little better, but this was a nice follow up with the characters. This story was heartbreaking and disturbing, so if you have trouble with topics about affairs or suicide, you should maybe avoid it. I like that the author went there and was not afraid to get into the depravity of the story. I hope there are more coming in this series. I genuinely miss the characters already.

Story
Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have. Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario.

Excellent writing, suspense, story, mystery and twist. Books like this are tedious to me because I want to know the ending so badly and I don't have patience. But the characters are rich and the twist is awesome. Excellently performed as well.
