Publisher's summary

"Elegant, gripping, and intricate, The Shadow Lily is a mystery the way P.D. James wrote mysteries: with depth and real humanity. I loved spending time with Detective Hanna Duncker on an island off the coast of Sweden---Oland is as chilling and atmospheric as Ann Cleeves's Shetland." Flynn Berry, author of the New York Times Bestseller Northern Spy

It’s a race against time as an island searches for a murderer and a missing child

Small-town police detective Hanna Duncker has a past. Her deceased father was convicted of murder and arson long ago, and she has taken up residence and resumed her police career in her hometown after his death. She and her partner Erik Lindgren are called to investigate the disappearance of a father and his infant son from their home while his wife was away on a weekend trip. As the investigation unfolds, Hanna makes a breakthrough in her ongoing private investigation of her father’s crimes: a discovery that could change everything she thought she'd learned so far.

In The Shadow Lily, Johanna Mo’s follow-up to The Night Singer, we find Hanna even further entangled in the web of relationships and partial truths that trapped her father for well over a decade. Are guilt and innocence as definite as they seem? And can she handle yet another unravelling of her family’s story?

Critic reviews

“The Shadow Lily is a perfect crime novel for rainy days, one of those books that does well together with a cup of tea, a blanket and lazy days in the summer house."Berlingske

“With an eye for the banalities of everyday life and what great changes and horrible events can do to people, Mo managed to capture something new and authentic… splendidly done.”Stavanger Aftenblad

“Johanna Mo has yet again given us a well-written crime novel, with strong characters and a splendid portrayal of life on the island.”—Tine Sundal, blog

So good that I hated for story to end

Both story and performance kept me engrossed and looking for any excuse to listen - long walks or hours in the kitchen. Several red herrings meant that the ending was a complete surprise.

Gripping story!

On the edge of my seat the whole time! What a great story teller Johanna is. I highly recommend this to all readers who love a good mystery. My only complaint—Now I have to wait for book 3!

DON’T WASTE A CREDIT! I want mine back…

From the few chapters I managed to struggle through, the annoying narration grated on my nerves and I gave up.
