Sounds very interesting Ken. I’ve added it to my 2019 list 😊

Here is my review of Evil Things by Katja Ivar.

Katja Ivar took her Hella Mauzer character far out into Finnish Lapland to find out what was going on with the people of Lapland with missing people and a Soviet Doctor once they found them eaten and frozen in the stream bed. Hella was captivated by Irja and Timo Waltari as a priest and his wife, and Kalle Jokinen, Erno's grandson, Erno was the missing man that Hella came to find. Irja Waltari notified the police that of Erno Jokinen was missing for over 6 days leaving Kalle alone in his house with no food. His sister brought Kalle to Irja's house to stay until they found someone to take him on as a dependent. Going looking for Erno they came upon a ribcage and fingers and a skull of a woman they needed to find out about. Later Hella found Erno frozen in a stream bed and also a revolver. It looked like Irja and Timo were the best suspects. Were they the best suspects because Irja lost her firstborn because of Erno or did she?. I leave you here to find out for yourself and you might be surprised. What were they hiding, who was hiding what? I give this 5 stars. I hope you like it as much as I did.
