The Shadow Lily: A Novel
"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?

“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
