The Ice Beneath Her
The Ice Beneath Her: The most gripping psychological thriller you'll read this year | Camilla Grebe
NO ORDINARY PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER - THIS WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT For fans of Jo Nesbo and The Bridge, The Ice Beneath Her is a gripping and deeply disturbing story about love, betrayal and obsession that is impossible to put down. Fast-paced and peopled with compelling characters, it surprises at every turn as it hurtles towards an unforgettable ending with a twist you really won't see coming . . . A young woman is found beheaded in an infamous business tycoon's marble-lined hallway. The businessman, scandal-ridden CEO of the retail chain Clothes & More, is missing without a trace. But who is the dead woman? And who is the brutal killer who wielded the machete? Rewind two months earlier to meet Emma Bohman, a sales assistant for Clothes & More, whose life is turned upside down by a chance encounter with Jesper Orre. Insisting that their love affair is kept secret, he shakes Emma's world a second time when he suddenly leaves her with no explanation. As frightening things begin to happen to Emma, she suspects Jesper is responsible. But why does he want to hurt her? And how far would he go to silence his secret lover?

Dark and twisty like most Nordic Noir, this was a really great read for me because the twist was a surprise. I read a lot of murder mysteries so that doesn't always happen much anymore. This is a multiple POV narrative format by chapter so it's kind of a slow burn; you're not quite sure where the threads are going until you see them all pulled together in the end. If you like Jo Nesbø or Henning Mankell, do pick this up. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterI

Another Swedish thriller - and a really good one! I liked the use of three narrators and liked seeing the story from multiple points of view. Lots of twists and turns to keep you enthralled to the end. Hopefully she‘ll write more thrillers soon!

Camilla Grebe excels in the area of character development in this complex psychological thriller. This is a character driven novel and each chapter is written with a character's different point of view. The storyline centers around 2 different murders which are very similar and happen 10 years apart. Lots of dark and surprising twists which kept the pages turning until the last page. If you like psychological thrillers, then read this one.

Completely character driven. It was interesting to see how they all connected but it didn‘t get exciting until the last 50 pages or so.

Just started this!! Only a few pages in. I‘m intrigued by the case but not sure how I feel about the characters yet. Can‘t wait to see where this one goes...

It was alright, not the greatest mystery I‘ve read. Needed more plot and character development.

Putting this on hold until I get the actual book from the library. The audio is horrible.

So I guessed whodunnit about 1/3rd from the end but despite that this was an enjoyable read. Lots of building of characters which I liked; felt I got inside each of the main characters and understood their connection to the story.

Pg. 101 of my current read. Not necessarily a key part of the murder mystery element but certainly part of the building of character profiles.

I liked the mother moving away which signified security and stability in the mind of a young child.

Multi-tasking - waiting for veg to cook before I fry the homemade tofu sweet potato burgers.

The Scandinoir murder mystery is really good 👍

TitleSpines Oh that sounds yummy! 7y
elliemcc11 @TitleSpines recipe via Pinterest but very simple mix of cooked sweet potato, tofu, rosemary, breadcrumbs and garlic. 7y
elliemcc11 And yes they were yummy 🙂 7y
TitleSpines Oh thank you, I will be trying them😄 7y
elliemcc11 Oh and paprika / red pepper flakes. You just get then on each side. 7y

This thriller kept me guessing throughout! The police procedural and psychological profiling is richly detailed. Love the atmosphere, the troubled detectives and the innumerable twists and turns. Pick this if you love thrillers with unreliable narrators and intense plot development!

MedaReadsAlot You had me at unreliable narrator 7y

I enjoyed this thriller. The three narrators were used to great effect and I was so pleased by the twist ending and resolution. If you're in to bleak visions of human nature and suspenseful murder cases, check this one out.

I loved this book. The format is some what different from a traditional mystery/thriller, but I found that made the book even better. Despite the fact that the main characters Hanne and Peter are not perfect, I really enjoyed them and hope to see them in future books. I would definitely recommend this book!

I have less than 100 pages left. Usually, I can guess the ending of mysterious, murder-y stories, but not today!! Not today. I have to stop myself from speed reading my way through. Patience is a virtue, right?

cherinium I keep seeing this come up as a recommended read for me, but I wasn't sure about it....it seems like too many books these days promise "a twist you won't see coming." I've started wondering if it's possible to surprise readers. ? BTW, I miss your witty self! 7y
Elephantango @cherinium I miss you, too! And I just finished the book! I did not see the twist coming. Read it! 🤓 7y

So far, so good! I picked this up from the local #library after reading about it on the All the Books! Blog. A great, grisly read to start 2017 out right! (Orson photobomb!)

Here we go y'all. This book is billed as "for fans of Jo Nesbø, Camilla Läckberg, and Ruth Ware" - SUCH a winning combination. I've only just started reading it, but it begins with the discovery of a woman's beheaded corpse. The writing is already incredibly engaging and I can't wait to see where it goes! #crimefiction

melbeautyandbooks Sounds great. Stacked it! 7y

This novel is a tale of betrayal, obsession and pain that is full of dark and dangerous surprises that I didn‘t fully see coming. The twist didn‘t completely blow me away, mainly because Grebe had me guessing so much throughout the book that by the time the twist is revealed, I had already worked through so many possibilities. However, it was still a very enjoyable read for fans of dark and deadly crime fiction. Full review on www.novelgossip.com
